Able to trigger flash floods, mudslides, and tornadoes, even weak hurricanes can cause extensive destruction to property, infrastructure, and crops. Other hurricanes remain at sea and never make landfall, limiting the destruction they cause. Advancements in technology over the years, particularly satellite imaging, have greatly improved warnings and advisories that have prompted life-saving evacuations. But not all lives are spared. Also known as tropical cyclones, hurricanes are large, wet storms with high winds that form over warm water. Hurricane season in the Atlantic basin—the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea—runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 each year, though some hurricanes do form outside of this season. Many tropical storms are produced on an average year, and not all reach the strength of hurricanes. Hurricanes are rated using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category 1 hurricanes have the lowest wind speeds at 74-95 miles per hour. Category 5 hurricanes have the strongest winds at 157 miles per hour or higher. Hurricanes that are Category 3 and above are considered major hurricanes. And it seems hurricanes and other weather disasters are becoming increasingly destructive. There were 18 named storms and six hurricanes during the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, and three of the six hurricanes were considered major. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2019 marked "the fourth consecutive above-normal Atlantic hurricane season." Some hurricane seasons are worse than others. In 1920, the strongest hurricane was a Category 2 storm that killed one person in Louisiana. Others are devastating and destroy entire cities. Hurricane Katrina, an infamous storm that struck the U.S. in 2005, delivered lasting damage to New Orleans and cost the country over $100 billion. Stacker obtained hurricane data, updated in 2019, from the NOAA's Atlantic Oceanic and Meteorological Laboratory. A list of notable events or facts that occurred every year was compiled from news, scientific, and government reports.

Though the first film made entirely in Hollywood was a short film entitled “In Old California” in 1910, the first completed Hollywood film, 1908’s “The Count of Monte Cristo,” began production in Chicago. Sunset Boulevard’s first movie studio opened around 1911, and eventually many East Coast studios had relocated to Los Angeles by 1915. Since then, production studios have blossomed outside of the ones in LA, and though it remains the premier location for all things film, Paramount is the only movie studio still located in Hollywood itself. Despite branching out beyond Hollywood into places such as New York and Atlanta, American film production still has a very firm hold on the consumption of cinema around the world. This includes countless contributions to film history’s canon, timeless staples that transcend age or accolades, and singular visions considered to be some of the greatest art ever made. And while American films should not be seen as the best or only films an eager cinephile should be consuming—there is an endless wealth of engaging, breathtaking, and thought-provoking cinema from countries spanning the globe—the lasting influence American films have brought to worldwide film culture cannot be overlooked. Stacker compiled data on thousands of American movies to come up with a Stacker score—a weighted index split evenly between IMDb and Metacritic ratings. To qualify as American, the film had to be produced by American production studios, though this doesn’t mean the film is necessarily in English or takes place on American soil. The film also had to have at least 5,000 IMDb user votes. Ties were broken by Metascore, and further ties were broken by IMDb user rating. Here are the 100 greatest American movies of all time.
