Inspired by Fortune’s list under the same name, here’s our version. All do respect to Fortune, but some items that shouldn’t be there were there and some that should be there weren’t there. So here we go, in no particular order.

51) New York Pizza

Seriously, I could go for some right now.

52) The Disney Renaissance

The period in Disney history occupied by classics like 101 Dalmatians, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Tarzan, Hercules, Mulan, and Aladdin.

Check the mail.

53) Netflix

Have you tried it? Awesome.

54) Elevators

The modern elevator was invented by Elisha Otis, a native of Vermont. He created the first safety elevator. If the cable snaps, you don’t fall to your death.

55) Yellowstone National Park

One of the classic American vacation destinations.

56) Mount Rushmore

Some of our greatest presidents, in rock form.

58) American Bison

Representative of the American grasslands.

59) Elvis Presley

One of the most famous pop culture icons of all time.

Now I've got the song in my head.

60) Recreational Fishing

So many Americans recall fishing trips with their father or grandfather. Like Ron Howard.
