Isibini sezithuba zangaphambili sifunde njenge "Ummi Kane" Iphinde yathweswa isithsaba seyona filimu ibalaseleyo yaseMelika kwimbali, umahluko owawongwa yiAmerican Film Institute (AFI), ayimangalisi kangako, kuba ingumxholo ophindaphindwa unyaka nonyaka. Yintoni enomdla malunga noku kuqatshelwa yinto elandelayo phantsi kokukhankanywa kwefilimu ye-Orson Welles.
I-AFI itshintsha izinto, kwaye emva kweminyaka elishumi ezinye iifilimu zibonakala zingcono kunezinye, umzekelo, "UBawo", ukuba kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo yayikwindawo yesithathu ngoku iya kwindawo yesibini. Umnini wesibini indawo "Casablanca", kodwa ngoku ukuba ifilimu Coppola wenyuka kwafuneka ukuba ahlale kwindawo yesithathu. Ndiyazibuza ukuba kwiminyaka embalwa, baya kuthatha isigqibo sokuba "I-Godfather" yayingcono kwaye baya kuyiphakamisa kwindawo yokuqala.
Kodwa ayisiyiyo kuphela eguqukayo, le minyaka ilishumi i-AFI yazisa izinto ezothusayo. "Inkunzi enomsindo" (inkunzi yasendle) isuka kwinombolo yefilimu 20 ukuya kweyesine kuluhlu, kunye ne "Vertigo", ye Hitchcock, ngoku ebambe indawo ye-9 kwaye ishiya i-61 eyayimchukumisile ngaphambili. Ndicinga ukuba ezi filimu ziye zaphucuka kangakanani kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo.
Kwimveliso emitsha ibe yinxalenye yoluhlu lwe-100, ngabo “INkosi yeRingi: uBudlelwane beRingi”(50),“ Ukugcina uRyan wabucala ”(71)“Titanic”(¿?) (83) kunye“ noluvo lwesithandathu ”(89).
Masithembe ukuba kule minyaka ilishumi izayo abagxeki abasayi kuzibona izinto ezinje “Harry Potter"Okanye" Imuvi eyoyikekayo. Sisindise uThixo.
