On Our Cover: What are the best American movies ever made? This week, film buff Edward Allan Faine reprises American Film Institute's picks. But as cartoonist Jim Hunt - returning this week for his second appearance in NBT -- suggests, take these lists to heart and you'll be in above your head.

This Week's Feature: The Best of the Movies' First Century What's a "Little Guy" to Do? by Edward Allan Faine --- Movies are about emotions, says Faine, not who did what first or what movie had the most influence at the time.

Then choose your own.
