This short film, 100 Years at the Movies (1994), a Turner Classic Movies (TCM) Production, was compiled by film-maker Chuck Workman to celebrate "100 Years at the Movies" for the 1994 Academy Awards show. It was about nine minutes long and included a montage of clips (and music scores) from at least 225 movies - the most important movies of the 20th century.

Earlier, Workman had directed a film titled Precious Images (1986), with short clips from films of 50 years of cinematic history.

The list below attempted to identify (as accurately as possible), in detail, the many short clips that were included in the film.

"On April 14, 1894 in a former shoe store on Broadway, fascinated New Yorkers looked into a narrow slot and watched the first movies ever shown commercially in the United States. This was the birth of the American film. It was a modest beginning to 100 years of magical memories and unforgettable images." [Opening written narration of film]
