Perhaps you use lines like “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” or “Here’s looking at you, kid” in your everyday life and have spent hours thinking about what comes after that awkward bus ride at the end of The Graduate. Or maybe you pretend to understand when your friends debate the contents of the Pulp Fiction briefcase and you have an Audrey Hepburn poster hanging in your room (she’s just so classic, right?) but haven’t actually seen a single one of her films. Whether you’re a film buff—or snob (tomato tomahto)—or a total newbie, here’s a guide for where to stream the American Film Institute’s 100 best American movies.
