Top 100 Egyptian films

Top 100 Egyptian films aliases: CIFF 100 Egyptian films or Greatest 100 Egyptian films in 20th century or Top 100 films in the centenary of Egyptian cinema (Egyptian Arabic: قائمة أفضل مئة فيلم في مئوية السينما المصرية) is the result of a referendum in which many Egyptian critics participated in 1996 to choose the 100 best Egyptian films of the 20th century, as part of the activities of the Cairo International Film Festival in its 20th edition, on the occasion of the centenary of Egyptian cinema, which coincides with the first film screening in Egypt in 1896.[1][2][3]

The films were selected from 1927 (where Layla was shown, the first Egyptian feature-length film) until 1996, and were announced during the celebration that was held in 1996. The referendum was supervised by the writer Saad Eddin Wahba.[4][5][6]
