Introduction
There are many Popcorn Classics but without a film expert or knowledgable buff to guide you, it’s easy to get lost. Fortunately our team of experts have gone through them all and assembled this definitive list of the 25 Greateest Popcorn Classics of All Time. You will want to see all of these and add them to your collection as well. Yes there will be disputes about titles that may not have made the grade, but for all you know, they are #26 or #27 on the list which means they are still near the top. Fortunately there is no stigma about watching ANY Popcorn Classic, even if it’s lower down on the list. One day hopefully the HEI Network will screen some of these movies at a movie theater they should spend subscriber money to open as there is much demand. The V.F.A. is dedicated to its mission of being the largest film archive in North America and would be the natural source for the movies screened. This is a much-needed resource.
