Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This special was the fourth in AFI's '100 Years' series, which began with 100 Movies in 1998 and became CBS's most-watched non-sports program that year.
The list sparked immediate controversy for including only three songs from films after 1990, cementing its reputation as a boomer nostalgia project rather than a living canon.
