The Daily

A few weeks ago one of our own producers Scott did a study with young people to determine what will be classic films in the future.

This was based off a study that the BBC Culture did listing the top 100 American films ever made, ranked by critics.

When we heard from Scott last the study was only half complete but now we have the finished product. Scott joined Thursday Daily host Adrian Walton in the studio.

Producer: Scott Johnston
