You can find the titles announced in yesterday’s 3-hour special after the jump.

Wow, AFI has done it again with a great list for all of us. I have not heard of many of these movies, but I will most definitely check them out one day. The animation films are all amazing, in my opinion and that must have been a tough category for the ~1500 people to vote on.
I think I’ll check out City Lights first since I do love romantic comedies, haha, has anyone else watched it? Thoughts?
