How we decided who is in the top 32 It wasn't easy and we know we left some out (we have a whole list that didn't make it!) Scenes were decided by a board of judges based on awards, nominations, impact on the art of editing, impact on the entire film, pop culture, and overall recognition. We narrowed it down to only narrative feature films. Hopefully each year will bring new additions or even different genres. This was strictly to celebrate the art and impact of editing and get our community involved. Enjoy and good luck!
