Top 100 Films of All-Time: #50-41

Hello nurses and friends of nurses. Yakko Warner

here and you're listening to a podcast on the

Geekcast Radio Network. Lucky you. Hello and

welcome to another episode of The Cinema Geeks.

I am one of your Cinema Geeks, Optimus Solo,

and joining me today for this week's episode

is Heart Candy Mandy. Hello? Oh hey, you got

my name right this time, sir. I almost didn't.

I was struggling. I was like, slow motion. Slow

motion. It was like, you could like, take yourself

out of your body and watch yourself saying the

words. I was like, save yourself right. You just

had an out of body experience, my friend. I did.

That's how we're starting today. Also with us

is Mooger Volt Dan. Hello, Dan. How's it going?

See, his name's so easy. Just one syllable. I

don't have to think about I's and not Y's and

all that other kind of stuff. It's just... And

also, Matt Fridley sent. Good day, sir. Hi. I'm

gonna apologize, because I'm a little sick. Well,

now everybody's gonna know. No, I'm just kidding.

Oh, so the way my voice cracked on that, I'm

sure everybody nude. Nude. Nuded it. We're all

nude. No. Alright, so... That escalated quickly.

All right. And today we are bringing you another

one of our series of episodes, not the video

game series and not the Hayao Miyazaki. We're

going back to our top 100 films of all time.

Yep, the project we started back on episode 100.

We're making our way this time on the other side

of the 50 mark. So this is going to be the first

episode where we're getting into our top 50 films.

Dan, how are you looking here going into today's

episode? Is there anything you want to bring

up? Any caveats, themes? or anything that represents

this chunk of the list for you? Actually, looking

at this chunk, it's... pretty straightforward

film for the most part probably like a lot of

actually big blockbuster movies only talking

about some really heavy hitters i don't know

why does this seem to be like loaded in this

section which is quite interesting so we'll get

to that in a bit i didn't realize going into

this i was looking at my list real quick last

night in preparation for the record today and

i didn't realize that in my top 50 i hadn't ordered

them yet i just had them in chunks of 10 so that

meant last night I had to try to like actually

separate these like these ten and put them in

some type of order and that's getting more excruciatingly

painful with each group of ten like it's just

harder and harder to try to separate some of

these films for me I think if anything for my

theme I guess for this chunk of ten it's gonna

start to reveal the types of films I really go

for and it's going to kind of show you maybe

that for some reason I'm a sucker for depressing

films so I'm going to have some of those in today's

countdown but other than that I couldn't really

come up with any theme for myself. Matt, looking

at your chunk that's going to be revealed today,

anything going for you? Honestly, a lot of them

are movies that I saw for the first time recently.

Like, over half of them are movies that I probably

watched for the very first time in the last five

years, which is really high for new movies. But

I also don't really feel like I can debate a

lot of them against it. All right, fair enough.

Amanda, what do you got to say about the chunk

of films that you're going to be releasing or

revealing today? I'm going to say this chunk

of the list is pretty revealing as to my taste.

And it's definitely going to show my love for

Bruce Willis. I was going to say, we've already

been made known of your love for 90s films. Oh,

yeah. That's going to be in here. But I will

break to the 2000s. What? Once. What? But definitely

going to see some Bruce Willis joints up in here.

All right. right? And just to get a little bit

of business out of the way, we're actually we've

started with Matt, I think every every one of

these that we've done, we're gonna have to flip

that today. And we're gonna start with Amanda,

because unbeknownst to I think any of us, Amanda

didn't reveal 10 in our last episode. Y 'all

motherfuckers skipped me and made me feel like

I was the one that jacked up my numbering, Kevin.

When really I got skipped and that's why I was

confused. I can explain. Alright. Let me explain.

What happened was... What happened was... Let

me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum

up. Matt, on his number 53, revealed that his

pick was Toy Story. Alright? Which led you to

tell us... horrific story about your experience

with Toy Story and an amusement park or something

of that nature and then in my attempts to get

as far away from that discussion as I possibly

could I jumped right into my 53 not ever letting

you reveal your number 53 So it is your fault.

It is a hundred percent my fault. And then you

made me seem like I was the idiot because I was

like number one. Well you did try to scar us

with that story. I am scarred. I needed to share

that with you guys. This was, I thought this

was like a circle of trust and you guys were

gonna help me through this. So technically you

revealed your 53 and your 52 spot and so on so

you never got to reveal your 51. So we have one

film left on the other side of the top 50 before

we can actually get into our top 50. So why don't

you go ahead and get that one piece of business

out of the way. I can hear the guys at True Bromance

heckling me from here and they haven't even listened

to this yet. Okay, so I'm seeing into the future

and knowing that if they listen to this, I'm

gonna get some hate for it. And that's okay,

because I absolutely love this movie from 1998.

Little Sandy B joint, practical magic. Sandra

Bullock. We're getting Nicole Kidman. Super cool

story. I love the premise. It was so fun. But

it also had, like, some heartbreak in it. Like,

it wasn't just goofiness and weird magic and

shit. Like, there was some cool stuff in here.

It scared me. It wowed me. And it touched my

heart. I'm gonna let this one slide because it's

got, like, the trifecta for you. It came out

in the 90s. It's somewhat of a supernatural slash

horror elements to it. And it's got Sandra Bullock

in it. Yeah. So I'll let that slide. It's not

horror, but it's a little scary. Supernatural,

whatever you want to call it. So it's hitting

three of your marks. Like the only other thing,

I don't even know what the other thing would

be. Maybe I don't even know yet. So Practical

Magic is the one that we accidentally skipped

over from last episode. From here on out though,

everything will be in our top 50. So Matt, back

to you then to actually officially start the

top 50 segment of our countdown. What do you

have in number 50? Oh, my number 50 is kind of

contentious to me because when I watch it I hated

it and I haven't gone back to rewatch it It's

just the longer I mull over the more I realized

that it I I mean I hated the characters But the

movie was amazing and that's there will be blood

interesting It's It's such a good Movie, I don't

know. It's kind of like Did we watch this together?

No, they watched it downstairs though. I watched

it in your house without you Oh, I think I had

watched it with Nate prior Yeah, like you you

watched it with Nate like two weeks before and

he went batty for it and so he had to show all

of his friends and so he made a little party

in the basement and we all watched it and one

of the most hotly discussed movies I've ever

seen in my group because it became almost like

a political debate where we all took sides and

we were like yelling like no this is terrible

these characters are terrible there's nothing

enjoyable here and like I don't know that I could

ever rewatch it, especially not so soon because

it's draining. It's just like old boy. It's just,

you know, like anything that's got those elements

that are just like really, really dramatic or

really thrillery. Those really drain me quick.

And so like this is this is such an intense movie.

It's so hardcore, but. It's really well acted,

it's really well shot, it's really well done.

And though I don't know that I like any of the

characters, that doesn't mean I don't like the

movie. I fucking hated that movie. Like, I hated

that guy, how he treated his deaf son. You hated

the movie or you just hated the people? I couldn't

even get through it because it was, it felt so

long. It was so drawn out. I hated how mean some

of the characters were and how awful these people

were being and how bad I felt for them just dragging

me down. Like, I tried two times to get through

it and I couldn't bring myself to do it. So it

had to be doing something successful if it had

that type of an emotional pull with you. I did

fall asleep though. You did? I did, yeah. We

know that that's not like a feat though, for

a movie to put you to sleep. No, but I was in

college so I had a lot more energy. This was

like my second year. When's the last time you

tried to watch it? Huh? When's the last time

you tried to watch it? I was trying to explain

to you this was my sophomore year of college,

so this has been a while ago. So you're ready

for another go? Well then, what is your number

50 instead? Oh, I get to go again. Yes. Oh, this

is from 96. Staying in the 90s. Of course. This

is one movie that I know verbatim. Every single

line in this movie I know. This is one of the

most quotable things for me. I love all the scenes.

This kind of solidified my love for medieval

times, okay? You're not even gonna be able to

guess if it is. But it's the cable dye. Jim Carrey,

Matthew Roderick, craziness ensued, and you gotta

kill the babysitter. Have you seen this, Kevin?

I have seen this once. Then you don't even know

what I'm talking about. Somebody's gotta kill

the babysitter. Oh my god! Nobody? Neither of

you? Matt? Dana? I've seen this movie and I enjoyed

it, but I was also really young and don't remember

it. It's also got Jack Black in it. Yeah, I saw

it then. I saw it in the 90s and I'd like to

have seen it in like probably 20 years at this

point. Good Lord, I can't even count how many

times I've seen this movie. I'm with Dan, I haven't

seen this in at least 20 years. God! It was like

towards the end of those types of films that

like Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler and like they

were in their heyday in the 90s and that kind

of for me hit like the tail end of that phase

and I was kind of like done with those films

for a while. Then what the hell were you watching?

I don't remember. On to other things. Nothing

better than this I Love their back -and -forth.

I love the tension. I love the comedy I loved

how serious but not it was like there were some

high stakes like people are gonna lose their

job people were breaking up with people like

you're getting stalked and she got hardcore,

okay, and I know that a lot and I'm gonna rewatch

it a ton more times I will re -watch Cable Guy

with you. If you re -watch, there will be blood

with me. Whoa! Okay, Cable Guy is not as big

of a commitment as there will be blood, by any

means. Fair enough. Alright, I prefaced in the

intro there that this is gonna show some side

of me that does seem to like depressing or heavy

films and... I'm getting depressed just looking

at the first three films on today's part of the

countdown, so I'll try not to go too far here.

But my first one's from 1989, so not quite in

your 90s heyday, Amanda, a little bit before

here. But I'm going to go with Peter Weir's Dead

Poet Society for my number 50 pick. Did you just

roll your eyes at Dead Poet Society? I don't

even know if I've seen that. Did I fall asleep

in that? Don't roll your eyes at something you

haven't seen. But this movie, for me, especially

when I saw it back when I was like 9, 10 years

old, somewhere in that range. Why would you watch

it? Watch us at nine, 10 years old. I don't know,

because I was an intelligent, mature individual.

Sure you were. Maybe I was a little bit older,

I don't know. That's why you still have He -Man

toys in our basement, sure as all. Wow. Say something

again. No, maybe I was 11 or 12, I don't know.

I saw it in the first three or four years it

came out probably, because I do remember seeing

it probably somewhere in fifth, sixth, seventh

grade, somewhere in that... range and I just

I don't know there's something about it with

Robin Williams and just kind of that whole teacher

mentor aspect that I just really was drawn to

right from the beginning. I think there's a lot

of great lines and dialogue in this film. I haven't

rewatched it as much as I would have thought

I would have just because It's not one that you

necessarily have to be in the right frame of

mind, but I just haven't gone back to it a bunch,

so it couldn't get any higher on my list, but

I just remember being so drawn to it. I've probably

seen it two or three times maybe at the most,

but last time I saw it was probably at least

15 years ago. So Dead Poet Society is how I start

today at number 50. Don't hate stuff you haven't

seen, Amanda. I'm pretty sure you've tried to

get me to watch it a bunch, and I've said no

every time. Yeah, just like a couple other films

that I still want to reveal the rest of my way

through that I'm very upset about. And I'm going

to roll my eyes every time. Fair enough. Catch

me outside, how about that? No, don't. I got

to do it. Alright, Dan Save Us, what do you got

at your number 50? My number 50 is a very different

direction, but starting with one of at least

two comic book films I'll be talking about today,

and starting with Spider -Man 2 is my number

50. I know, like, I feel like there's been, like,

this revisionist history when it comes to Spider

-Man franchise. At least the first two movies

in another looked about not as good as, like,

awful or bad movies or what have you. But I still

think Spider -Man 2 is one of the best of any

comic book movie. I like Tony McGuire as Spider

-Man and both Peter Parker. You know, maybe he's

missing some of the quirkiness that you get with,

like, Andrew Garfield, but I do think he has

every main quality to him that I think is great

for that character. I love Alfred Molina's Doc

Ock, a really underrated performance. I feel

some great action sequences. The train sequence

is, to me, one of the best sequences in any Marvel

film period. Great character work within the

character of Spider -Man. And to me, it's still

a crowning achievement for that. comic book movies,

action wise, story wise, it's still up there

amongst the best for me. So it's my number 50.

Yeah, I do hear that a lot, especially when people

are ranking comic book films. Spider -Man 2,

I still think comes up a lot. I think it's hard

because we've had so many Spider -Man films that

sometimes people kind of let it blend together

or forget which one's which. But I don't know

if it or if maybe they're just letting it be

tarnished by Spider -Man 3. But I'm with you.

I think those first couple Spider -Man films.

were real good and I need to rewatch them all

though because it's been a while and there's

been so many other superhero films that I'd like

to kind of revisit some of those but I don't

think you're alone with the with the love for

Spider -Man 2 as amongst maybe you know the top

echelon of comic book films. Matt, what do you

think about Spider -Man? i don't know if i'm

revisionist history or not but i don't think

it's that amazing i think i don't know like i

remember being bothered by this plot of spider

-man 2 when it first came out like like what's

up with this whole sun thing and like is this

really the way they're gonna go with these tentacles

um because it's like does the doc ock die and

the tentacles take over i did not like it um

but uh... you know it's it's definitely uh...

in the top two of the original trilogy uh...

uh... uh... as part of the point the uh... statement

what do you have for you next paper my next pick

uh... man shows shows kind of about when we were

making this list and maybe it would be in the

top fifty i feel bad for everything i thought

that you know that is because i'm not a good

movie at uh... but I really enjoyed it so much.

I was ranting and raving about it right when

I came out of the theater. And that's Chef from

2014. nice you just you just got us one one more

fan at least oh really yes this was uh this was

hyrule from true bromance's number one film of

that year so oh man i'd put it i i almost definitely

put it in top three but i think one of the i

could say almost certainly one movie from 2014

made my top five so i can't say that it was this

one um i loved this movie like i just loved it

and uh It was funny because the person behind

me in the theater every time was like, oh, that

looks good. What do you think they're going to

pair that with? They're watching it so intently.

And that made it better for me. People I was

with got very upset. And at one point, I turned

around and doing a hard shush. And it's like,

come on. He's just enjoying it differently than

you. Just I love like and the thing is is that

like I don't know at some point you realize like

how telegraphed this is like Oh, you know the

you know, the love story is gonna go this way

and the father -son story is gonna go that way

and I know what's gonna come but that didn't

matter like because it wasn't about seeing the

destination as about going along on the journey

and just it was it's one of the most fun movies

to just watch very light -hearted you don't have

to like I don't know, it's not training like

there will be blood in dead poet society. You're

not going to feel bad when it's done. You're

going to smile and walk away and it's light and

breezy. Yeah, that's for sure. I want to go eat

a Cubano after I see this. Actually, we did that,

I think. I think almost immediately went to Lucha

Cantina and got the Lucha Cuban. There you go.

Amanda, you like that phone too, right? Yeah,

I mean, it wasn't like my favorite film of that

year or anything, but it was solid. I liked it.

It's got some RVJ in it, too. Just never a bad

thing for me. That's the other mark that we didn't

hit with your practical music. Yeah, yeah. All

right, what do you have for your number 49? OK,

animated film. This is the only one that's breaking

out of the 90s. This is the newest film that's

going to be in this section, OK? And it's from

2000. A little Disney film called The Emperor's

New Groove. You're not putting that first new

groom in your top 50. Yes! This is another movie

where I know every single frickin' line. Me and

my cousin, this is right when I got a frickin'

webcam. And we did this thing where we played

the movie in the background, because we'd already

watched it so many times. And we lip synched

the entire frickin' movie and acted out little

stupid things. And it was fun. And it kept us

out of trouble. And we were just chilling in

my basement. And it was a late -hiring movie.

You learn some lessons. David Spade is a frickin'

llama that dances. John Goodman is like that.

the conscience here. I love that. I love the

humor. I love the camaraderie. I love the lessons

that they both learn. I love the trouble that

they get into. Eetsma is awesome. Kronk is hilarious.

There is just a ton of stuff going on here that

I just loved and can't wait to have kids so I

can show them this funny movie. Can I ask a question?

No. How many animated films are going to be in

your top 50? I think just two. Really? Oh, in

the top 50? Yeah, in the top 50. Oh, I don't

know a lot. Like 30? I don't know a lot. Just

in this section, there's two. OK. I was just

going to say, if we're at Emperors New Group

and we're in the top 50, there's got to be a

lot coming. You don't know much about me, so

Kevin. If you don't know my love for Emperor's

New Groove, you still have a lot to learn. I

was not aware that cat caught me out of left

field. Wait till I bring it up around Ashley.

All right. My number 49, I guess I messed up,

and I'm going to upset the people that like numbers

to work in a certain way, because my number 49

actually probably should have been my 50, because

it is the film 50 -50. This was my number one

film of 2011 from Jonathan Levine. And it just

floored me when I watched it, not just because

I could find certain things to relate to or whatnot.

I just thought I was impressed at the balance

that it was able to pull off. I mean, when you

get the premise for this film, it's not something

you're jumping up and down and being like, oh,

I want to be there opening day and watch this

tale. But it did it so well as far as blending

the comedy, blending the drama. And it was not.

It wasn't dramatic or emotional, like, for the

sake of doing that. It was authentic in the way

it did it, and I don't know, I was just floored

by it when it came out in 2011. I actually have

not seen it since, and that's something I need

to revisit, because I don't think you've seen

it either, Amanda, right? No. So I'd like to

watch it with you, but I just remember being

so high on it in 2011, so I thought it was worthy

of being in my top 50. So 50 -50 is my number

49. That's confusing. damn yeah i mean i think

you did that on purpose nope i'm doing this at

49 just because right um and number 49 i have

again i one of my favorite directors that i've

you know i've had a lot in this countdown which

makes sense it's my favorite films and um this

is i think the first time i've had one of his

movies on my list and it's alexander pain and

to some election uh election is one of those

movies that shows you that It's not the concept

or the plot of a film, it's how it's done. Because

it's this movie about a high school president

election and it's just hilarious and satirical

and amazing performances by Matthew Broderick

and Reese Witherspoon. Even Chris Klein is ridiculously

hilarious. It's an oddball movie that gets to

a lot of different things. It might arguably

be, you know, it's... Alexander Payne's most

provocative film compared to it to what's gone

now, but uh, it's Reese Witherspoon is fantastic.

He plays this like buttoned -up like, you know,

um, character that's like bent on becoming this

next big thing and this character just this lonely

every everyday guy and it's just an interesting

concept with really colorful characters and so

it's a movie I highly recommend and I find it

hilarious and I think it's probably pined at

like coming out party. I don't think he ever

got to this level again until maybe another movie

that I'll be talking about on our countdown,

but it's a great film that I would highly, highly

recommend. This is another one that I haven't

seen yet, so I'm gonna have to add this one to

the list that I need to get to after we get done

with this venture. So, all right, Matt, what

do you have up next at number 48? Oh, man, at

48, I have another Robert Downey Jr. movie. Look

at that. And that's the 2009 Sherlock Holmes

movie. This movie got me so excited for Sherlock

Holmes, which is weird because I'm not a mystery

guy normally. But I went to the local Barnes

and Nobles and bought the collected works and

was reading them. Super fun, super great. Robert

Downey Jr. brought a great energy to the movie,

to the character, and I really loved these movies.

I also did. Super obsessed with it. I love what

Guy Ritchie did. I love the innovation that he

went to, the lengths that he went to here and

the level of innovation that he brought to it.

It looked amazing. I love RDJ as Sherlock Holmes.

Him and Jude Law played off each other amazingly.

I think that the movies weren't too straightforward.

They did have mystery too. Like you were trying

to figure out this mystery along with him. So

it was a really cool journey and a fun ride and

definitely one that you can still rewatch even

after you know the mystery based on how fun the

movie is too. I do think Jude Law and RDJ do

have a good chemistry in these films and I do

like you guys are saying like there was lot of

things that we haven't seen done quite how they

were done with the slow motion slash I'm gonna

tell you what's gonna happen type thing that

they did here wasn't something that I had seen

a lot beforehand so that was kind of fun yeah

I enjoyed these films a lot I think the first

one's superior to the second one obviously but

I still enjoyed them overall yeah I think that's

a good pick with Sherlock Holmes that means we

are back to Amanda for your number 48. Wow, I

feel like this is going real fast. Let's see.

You want me to slow it down a little bit? No,

you don't need to do any slow -mo. All right,

so I'm taking it from 2000 all the way back to

1990. OK, 10 years difference. And this is a

little Schwarzenegger film called Total Recall,

all right? Not the new one with Colin Farrell,

but the OG Schwarzenegger one. Sharon Stone and

Michael Ironside. I love this movie. I like a

lot of Schwarzenegger films from back in the

day. All right, and this was definitely a fun

one. I like the fantasy elements here too. I'm

like, who doesn't want to like take a vacation

in your mind sometimes? Like maybe you can't

make it to the beach for real, but you can take

a little trip in your head and get there. I think

that'd be super cool, but scary as well because

look what the fuck happened here. Set it up like

it's all roses. Oh my. Don't go near the other

Total Recall, though, because that is just awful.

Just hot garbage. Hot garbage. All right, so

a little 90s love Total Recall style. Dan, any

thoughts on Total Recall? I think it's probably,

well, no, not as fortunate as Best Film, because

it's probably Big Turbinator 2, but it's up there.

Maybe... It's such a great film. It's, you know,

I love the somewhat mystery, like, is he really

taking this as a, you know, is it all in his

head or it's some great characters, great, you

know, obviously based upon a Philip K. Dick story.

Yeah, a lot of love with Total We Go. Yeah. Also

represented, I think, a time period there in

the late 80s, early 90s, where sci -fi was kind

of an interesting stage, I guess, in its movie

genre life or whatever, where we were seeing

a lot of different crazy ideas and some original

stuff, even if they're based on books or based

on different things, but original to film for

a lot of it. So I think a lot of good stuff came

out of that period in the science fiction realm.

Alright, let me depress things a little bit again.

I brought this up too many times on the podcast,

so I'm probably gonna have to stop talking about

it eventually, but my number 48 is a 1997 film

called Life is Beautiful, and I guess maybe I'm

also a sucker for Holocaust films, but this movie

is moving. you don't feel something when you

watch this film and you don't have a working

heart so it's just a crazy story about the lengths

that you go to for your children or your family

also though a historical piece you know that

should be preserved as far as representing kind

of what humans are capable of and kind of that

whole time period without getting into it too

much i just i think it was a very well done film

i think the acting is superb and i i think I

think they hit a lot of authentic emotional beats

in an important film. So, Life is Beautiful for

me is number 48 and I promise I will get a little

happier at some point during today's countdown.

So, Dan. You're gonna get me down. Yeah, sorry

about that. Dan, you're number 48. Did you scare

people? I feel like, am I, am I crazy? Do they

excuse anybody? Because I've done that in the

past. We know that. All right. No, I have my

number 48. So I say that because you're depressing.

I'm going to double down. I know you're depressing.

Possibly one of the most depressing movies I've

ever seen and maybe the most depressing animated

movie of all time. It's up there But for me,

it's when we did way back when did the greatest

animated film of all time with top 100 list This

was the number one for me and that's great with

the fireflies. I still haven't seen it is just

bucket of sadness on uh so and it's it's like

you haven't seen it i won't say much but you

know it deals with the aftermath of world war

two and grief and it's just a really powerful

story uh certainly about um you know dealing

with some of the worst situations imaginable

really and uh yeah but but it's not necessarily

i would say just all Sadness, it's not like there's

any hope within that. It's just it's just a touching

story and it's just amazingly done one of studio

Ghibli's best films and it's considering it's

not directed by Hami Yasaki, but still it it

has I think a lot of the signature storytelling

Influencers for sure. So amazing movie that it's

not one that I watch a lot because of just you

know, the emotional impact it does have but It's

still in. important movie that for me changed

kind of my mindset when it came to the way I

look at animation and anime. So it's my number

48. Yeah I don't know why I haven't seen this

yet because I've been you know I've heard about

it for so many years and I've never heard anybody

say anything bad about it. Obviously it is something

that takes a certain mindset to watch and it

is has a lot of emotional strings to it like

you like you're alluding to but I really need

to watch this so I'll try to this is gonna be

like the first one I watch when we're done doing

this list. Have you seen Grave of the Fireflies?

Actually, I haven't, but I have bought it. Studio

Ghibli and so, you know, I'm collecting all of

them because they're my wife's favorite and she's

seen this one and said I'm never watching that

again So I've got I've got it wrapped in saran

wrap. It's been in our house for I don't know

seven years now Anytime you want to borrow you

let me know. I'm sure she will not miss it That

means we're back to you Matt for your number

47 Oh, man, I wish I could tie it back to the

other two that I had just done. But I can't.

It's V for Vendetta, a comic book movie based

on Alan Moore's original trade, which is... I

don't know, I want to call the original one so

much better, but it's interesting that they took

it and they followed a lot of the same things,

but did something that's almost entirely different.

Were characters that you might have liked in

the original one. I don't know, I hate the original

one, you like the new one, and the other way

around, I guess. It's such a fun, action -y movie,

and it was really inspiring to my generation,

I guess, and probably why you're hearing things

like calls for evolution nowadays is because

they saw this in high school and were like, hey,

we can do that, although I don't know if we can

do that. It's an interesting thing where you're

rooting for the anarchist in the movie. crazy

though he may be yeah and uh just like just a

couple of before you know 51 of my last one uh

natalie portman shows up again uh one of my favorite

actresses Amanda introduced me to this one. I

hadn't seen it, and we just watched it, what,

two years ago? A year and a half ago? I don't

even remember. You're a big fan of V for a minute

as well, right? Yeah, I really like it. We actually

just brought up in the last segment of this Leon

professional, and I talked about the parallels

of Natalie Portman's character and her relationship

to the person who was taking care of her, even

though the V for Renetta guy probably was actually

owning her captive, really, but... I think that

this is a super interesting film. I did not know

it was a comic book based movie. Oh yeah. Or

the material is. So that's pretty cool and interesting

to me. I actually tried to rent the professional

today because Kevin hasn't seen it and I wanted

to watch it again since we just brought it up.

And the video store had sold both copies, but

I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix. So we're going

to go give. All right. What is your? 47 I was

kind of Kicking this around because I felt like

I had already talked about it But maybe because

somebody else had brought it up. So I don't know

if I've already talked about this or not. I don't

think so Maybe somebody else did but this is

from 1966 and that's how the Grinch stole Christmas

Somebody else bring this up on their list yet

We talked about it when we talked about the best

animated characters. I don't know if that's what

you think. That's probably why, yeah. So I love

the Grinch. I love the character of the Grinch.

This movie has so many cute lessons. I love the

rhyming, sing -songy way that it's written. I

mean, that's pretty true to Dr. Seuss stuff.

This is one movie that is one that I know will

Definitely stand the test of time. I watch this

every year and I'm an adult Sometimes it even

comes up on Pandora's like the entire story plays

out and I'm just listening to it and I can see

it in my head and still Love it. And I think

this is the the quintessential Christmas movie.

I don't care about any of those Christmas movies

I love them all but this one means it's time

for Christmas and I love it and I just I feel

like it was definitely deserving of up this high

on my list, especially the number of times I've

seen it, and I know I'm gonna watch it more.

All right. Grinch love. You ain't got no love

for Grinch. I can see you're just sitting over

here. I have no problem with the Grinch. But

you didn't say shit about him, either. I like

the Grinch. Maybe the Grinch is in his top 30,

and he's saving his... Thanks. You never know.

You don't want to know what's on my list, girl.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. All right. For my number 47,

I'm actually going to go into the world of animation.

I only have two animated films remaining on my

countdown, which is kind of surprising to me.

And this one I go so... I'm going back and forth

between my number 47 and I think what I had at

number 57 or 58. Two films that I just recently

caught up with finally in the last year to two

years. Wally was down at number like 57, 58 and...

And depending on when you ask me, these could

flip -flop, but at 47, I have the film Up from

Pixar. So I don't know why it took me so long

to catch those two films. Because Amanda had

to come in your life and reduce you on these

things. That's why. They're both amazing. Oh,

I'm amazing? What? The films are amazing. You're

equally as amazing. But Up and when I was doing

this countdown, Up kind of won out, so I put

that a little bit higher. But man, those two

neck and neck. Up, I have it as my second highest

animated film, but at number 47, I think there's

a lot to love here. I think there's, like I said,

with some of these other ones, a lot of emotional

beats, but a lot of, you know, fun, comedy, adventure,

and an interesting story. Like, Dan, you've said

a couple times, it's amazing how they can pull

off this tale about, you know, someone of the

age that they're depicting, and they have it

still work as kind of a quote unquote kids' film.

So, nothing but love for Up at number 47. Super

heartbreak. Like, I've only seen this movie twice,

and it's given me a complex. Like, I feel like

that it's gonna be me. I'm gonna be that person

sitting across from a grumpy old man because

we couldn't have kids. Why are you pointing at

me when you're... I just have my marker in my

hand, all right? So it just, it breaks you down

and it makes you think about some things that

you might not even want to or even imagine yourself

thinking about. And seeing the new relationship...

that he builds, or the relationships that he

builds, and kind of how he overcomes some of

his sadness and some of the things that were

weighing him down is a beautiful story. All right.

Dan? Why do you just say, all right? Like, fuck

whatever you just said. I already said all my

good things about it. No, I agree with you. That's

why it's in my countdown here at number 47. Maybe

you should say something like, all right, moving

right along. I ditto, agree. There we go. Dan,

what do you got at number 47? My number 47 when

we started I said I'm gonna get to a lot of blockbusters

and I'm getting to what's arguably maybe the

first ever blockbuster with Jaws Steven Spielberg's

classic film the movie that obviously scared

people out of the ocean for such a long time

and I love Jaws a lot but I actually gained new

respect for it when a few years ago I went through

every Spielberg film and did a review and just

seeing the progression of him as a filmmaker

and it really all came together. with that of

Jaws. It's truly master filmmaking on every level,

from the iconic score, to the use of the camera,

to the character building, to great acting. It's

just a fantastic film that's entertaining and

meaningful. It's the pinnacle of blockbuster

entertainment while still having some really

just great character moments as well. I think

it's a movie that people have tried to recreate

over and over again. It's how every single shark

movie gets related to it, really. I mean, it

is the greatest shark movie of all time. Maybe

Deep Blue Sea is like right there next to it,

I guess. I don't know. Or Sharknado. They want

to be Jaws, but there's only one Jaws, even though

there's like eight Jaws films. But there's really

only one Jaws. I want to go back and watch all

the Jaws films because I haven't seen any of

them in so long, in decades, and I don't even

know which ones I've seen and which ones I haven't

seen out of all of them. So I kind of want to

go through and do like a thing where I go through

all the different Jaws films so I can finally

kind of catch up more in like today's mindset

to kind of see where I would place these. But

I think Jaws is highly regarded for a reason,

obviously, like you said, it kind of stands above

a lot in that genre. Matt, that means we're back

to you at your number 46. Alright, for 46, I

have, uh, like, uh, I've got, uh, the Princess

Bride is my number 46, and part of me wants to

be like, you know, everyone knows that I - Fantasy

the genre and this is all over that like it's

got you know It's got like magic and it's got

swashbuckling sword fighting. It's got roguish

stuff It's got all of the elements of a fantasy

movie even you know, even trying to save a princess

sort of but like It's like I'm looking at my

list and I'm not seeing a lot of fantasy around

it Which either means that it's one of the highest

ones or all of mine aren't safe for the top 20

I don't know. This is one that you introduced

me to, Kevin. Well, I don't know if introducing

is the right one. I've seen it bits and pieces.

It's always on TV. I'm jibber jamming. I am sorry.

I am all out of it. It's on TV sometimes. I catch

bits and pieces of it. But you were the one who

sat me down and said, you have to watch this.

And so I did. And I just loved it. It's so good.

And I got to support Freddie Savage. He's one

of our biggest fans. Nice, well played. Yeah,

I agree, and I will save my comments on Princess

Bride. As will I. There we go. A lot of love

there. All right, Amanda, that means you can

save your love for that one, but you can give

some love to your number 46. Oh, I know y 'all

don't know nothing about this next movie. It's

from 1999. Good film. Yeah. My number 46. You're

running out of films that came out in the 90s.

No, I'm not, bitch. I got a lot. Okay, my number

46 is a little trick called Mystery Men. Have

you seen this? Definitely a spoof movie, but

so amazing. And I wish there would have been

a second one of these, but I'm glad this one

wasn't ruined by any stretch here. So William

H. Macy, Ben Stiller. We got Pee Wee, Muffin

Herman in here. Jeffrey Rush, Jeanine Graffolo.

I think it was Kel from Gan and Kel. Dude was

in here. So how many people in this film never

did anything after the 90s? Oh, dude, okay, so...

Everybody's done stuff after this. Maybe not

Janine Garofalo, but everybody else. There's

Smash Mouth that did the soundtrack. Smash Mouth.

Everybody knows that shit. And they also stopped...

Whatever, okay. That song everybody loved at

that time, okay? But this is one of the... The

movies that I loved to re -watch, same thing,

this is kind of in the same era when I was watching

The Cable Guy and stuff like that. I loved all

of the characters in here. I'm watching the Penny

Dreadful TV series and one of the characters

from this popped up in that and I was like, holy

fuck, it's a sphinx! but I feel like it's no

matter how spoofy and goofy and weird it is it

stays true to its genre it knows what it is there's

some amazing like world building in here there's

like all these crazy gangs that follow all these

super cool like dress codes and like they have

rules it's I don't know it's Jeffrey Rush getting

a fart to the face of Pee Wee Herman in a limo

and that's all you need to know so Would this

blow your mind to tell you that this was also

originally based on a comic book? It would not,

but I want to read that shit now, definitely.

The guy who sells me my comic books is actually

real upset with this movie because when Kel's

character does the invisibility thing, the gag

in the comic book would be that you would never

see him in any panel. You wouldn't see him affecting

anything because if anyone sees him, then he's

not invisible. also true for the viewer and so

they shouldn't have shown him in the movie being

invisible because you can see him being invisible

and that's not true to the character's power

they didn't I don't know what they wanted to

do with that then I thought it was good because

you really only quote -unquote see him go invisible

the one time and you just see his clothes kind

of fall away and then he's like look guys I'm

invisible then you see him and they turn around

he's naked and so you see him again so it was

a brief thing so I don't I that was just probably

a director choice or something like that but

the movie as a whole was super fun and I wish

I fucking owned it still I had it on VHS And

uh, no I don't. I'm sure it's not gonna cost

you much. It's probably like two dollars. I gotta

find it though, bro. Just get on the Amazon.

Do some Amazon searches. Alright, for... My number

46 is a film I have a hard time deciding where

it was going to go on my countdown because like

I've said a couple times I'm real bad at re -watching

films like there's not a ton of films that I

try to watch you know two three four times or

whatever so a lot of these are still based on

the first viewing and I need to catch up with

some of them to kind of see how they resonate

now you know all these years later but for my

number 46 I'm gonna go to David Fincher from

1995 with the film Seven so I just keep putting

these numbered films in the wrong spot to make

everybody upset. But seven's gonna be at my number

46. I think there's a lot to love here, a lot

of good actors involved, a lot of craziness,

definitely for mature audiences and whatnot.

So I can't speak too much about it, because like

I said, I really need to rewatch it to kind of

solidify my thoughts on it. But I knew it deserved

to be in my top 100 somewhere. And I kind of

fell with number 46 being where it kind of landed.

I think this is one of the movies that disturbed

me in life the most above a lot of movies. It's

also one of the movies that has come the closest

to being rewatched. Every time I try to decide

a film to watch, Seven is one of the four or

five films I grab, and then somehow we never

watch it. I've seen it quite a few times, but

it fucks with me pretty bad. It is messed up,

and some of these images in here are the most

disturbing things I've ever seen in movies. But

it's an amazing film. It's just a hard watch,

almost. Dan, what do you have at your number

46? For me, at number 46, I have... Going in

kind of a different direction, but going with

one of my favorite actors of all time and arguably

maybe his best performance. I don't know. I guess

it depends on what you're saying, but I'm going

with Bill Murray and the movie Lost in Translation.

Nice. And I know it's a film I think a lot of

people dislike because it is very methodical

with its pacing. Not a great deal happens, but

I just love the relationship between Murray and

Scarlett Johansson. I think it's really Murray

showing a different side. of his comedy a little

bit more subtle and Sofia Coppola who's a director

I sometimes like and love in this instance sometimes

can't stand but for me as I said it just worked

here and I think a lot of it had to do with the

personality of Murray and seeing him like trying

to just be this fish out of water but done in

a really well interesting way and the relationship

to that I think really binds the movie together

so it's my number 48 or 46 I can count that's

how numbers work yeah this is one that I definitely

was considering when I when we were going to

make the list it didn't end up making my top

100 but But man, I have nothing but love about

this film, too. I liked a lot of what they did

with this one. I don't think, for what I've seen,

Sofia Coppola has not quite been able to match

what she did with Laws and Translations since,

but I haven't seen all of the films she's put

out. I agree, this is a great film, and if you

haven't seen it, you should seek it out. So,

all right, great. Your number 46, that means

we've revealed the first set of five today. We're

going to take a quick break, pimp out a couple

other shows that we're fans of, and then we'll

be back with our 45 through 41 picks. So, still

five picks each when we come back from the break.

We talk TV We talk trying to make our spot sound

more exciting by adding explosions Yeah, I'm

pretty sure you could have got the point across

with sound effects. Not the real thing Download

the show on iTunes or simplistic reviews dot

blog spot dot com. I'm sure your insurance company

will cover that. No, they won't. No, they probably

won't Hey guys it's Dr. Masolo and Hard Candy

Mandy and we just wanted to let you guys know

about another podcast out there that we both

think you would all enjoy. It's one of both of

our favorite shows to listen to and it's none

other than the True Bromance podcast. True Bromance

is a movie podcast hosted by longtime friends

Hiro and Barry and if you like to smile, laugh,

and just be genuinely entertained while listening

to movie talk then this is definitely the right

show for you. Each week, the guys break down

a recently released movie, and not only do they

tie in the movie that week to the beers that

they are drinking during the show, but they also

tie it into a real fun top and bottom five list

associated with that movie. It's a blast hearing

both sides of these lists, and it definitely

makes them unique amongst all other movie review

podcasts. So we definitely want to recommend

all of you guys to go check out their show. Just

search out the True Bromance podcast on iTunes,

Stitcher, and all other podcast platforms. And

if you listen via iTunes, do us a favor and leave

them a five -star review. And don't forget to

let them know that the Cinema Geeks sent you.

to reveal the other set of five films today as

we make our way towards number 40. So to get

there, we got to start with our 45 picks. Matt,

you're up first. What do you have at 45? All

right, my number 45, interestingly enough. The

Humble Bundle is this online thing, not to be

an advertiser somewhat, but they sell all these

different great products and it goes to a charity

and you get to choose what goes to the creators

of the products and what goes to the charity.

And through them I got audio books and one of

them was True Grit. And I listened to this audio

book and it was very interesting, very entertaining.

And so I decided to go and get the movie and

just on a whim went and bought the movie, the

most recent remake, not the original, what John

Wayne won. And this movie really just struck

a chord with me. I freaking loved it. Enough

to put it in my top 50 at number 45, True Grit.

I think a lot of people were pleased with the

remake. Even those that really loved the original.

I think both films get a lot of love. Dan, what

do you think about True Grit? Yeah, I actually

prefer the remake over the original. I mean,

the original analysis plays, and John Wayne is

probably his best performance. But it's the Coen

Brothers over kind of just a generic Western

filmmaking with the original. And Haley's staff

was just... Hailey Seinfeld, it was her coming

out of Power Party. Matt Damon's even fantastic,

and it's like just kind of a different role for

him. And it's just some really odd scenes, I

think, of the scene where they kind of... come

across this random, like, Poetry Guy in the woods.

It's just some oddness that you'd expect from

the Coen Brothers, but yeah, I love True Grit.

It's honestly one of my, I debated putting it

in my top 100 as well, because it's one of my

favorite films. It was on the other top of my

list for the best movies of that year. Just,

I've watched, we've watched that movie a lot

too, which is saying a lot considering how it's

a pretty lengthy film, but it's just really funny

and there's a lot to it. To speak to liking the

remake over the original, the remake is really

close to the book and the original one was supposed

to be more like, hey, look, we got John Wayne.

So that's a reason why it's generally viewed

as a better movie. Fair enough. I enjoyed this

one too. I haven't seen it since it came out

in theaters, but I remember liking it quite a

bit at the time. Another one I need to revisit.

Amanda, what do you have at your number 45? Well,

let's get into the Bruce Willis love, all right?

Ready for it. This is from 1997. A little film

called The Fifth Element. Alright, got some Gary

Oldman. So, you know, I'm into... I love the

sci -fi here. I love the look of this. I love

the feel. I love the comedy. Ruby Rod is off

of his hook. I love the world building. I think

the effects are great. I love the use of color.

I think all the alien creatures are really well

done and look pretty sweet. A lot to love here,

and I think Bruce Willis did a great job of being

a dude that's pretty much like Bruce Willis,

but... in space. I have a lot of love for this

film and it's been on TNT 5 ,000 freaking times

and I'll sit and watch it whenever the hell it's

on. I don't care. And one of the characters is

going to be in A Ghost in the Shell. The Ghost

in the Shell? A Ghost in the Shell? What is that?

The new Scar Joe movie? The Ghost in the Shell.

felt the same kind of vibes watching the trailers

for that, as I did for the fifth element. So

I thought that was pretty cool that he even had

one of the same characters. A very small side

character, but I think it was a cool tie -in

for me. So that got me excited for The Ghost

in the Shell. I can't even say it. The Ghost

in the Shell. The Scarborough movie, where she's

like a thing. But yeah, I love the Fifth Element

and it's got a ton of rewatchability. I'll rewatch

it some more. Fuck yeah, Bruce Willis. With the

fist pump in the air that nobody can see. Alright,

Dan, what do you think about the Fifth Element?

We can feel it, we can feel it. If I was going

to be like the top... 100 of the films I've rewatched

the most, like Fifth Alman would probably be

like the top five, because like Amanda mentioned,

it's always on TV. And it's just one of those

movies where it's just, it just comes at you

with its color and life and personality. And

it's like a movie that I think the first time

I watched it, I thought this is awful, but I'm

going to keep watching. And then I just kind

of grew to love. So it's not in my list, but

it's, it is a really, you know, it's, I can understand

why people love it and as I do as well. but there's

a lot of brilliance to it. It just, it's very

unique, like this random mix of things that somehow

end up working, so. Yeah. Me and my grandma would

even watch this together. That's how dope this

movie is. Nice. But she likes TNT. All right.

For my number 45, it actually pains me to put

this in the 40s because I feel like this should

be so much higher on my list if it's a personal

list because this was probably one of my favorite.

film series for a long long time in my life like

this was my always my go -to film like I would

watch these films in college on repeat and Mel

Gibson was always my favorite actor growing up

you know I couldn't foresee the future and what

kind of things he would do and say but he was

always one of my favorite actors he was always

one of my favorite actors growing up and I think

part of that was because of lethal weapons so

1980 Richard Donner film Lethal Weapon. I'm only

putting one per series, so this is where Lethal

Weapon, the series, I guess, falls for me. But

if I had to pick one, I'd pick the first one.

And I just, I love everything about Lethal Weapon.

I can watch all of those films. Like I said,

I don't re -watch a lot of films, but this is

one of the film series that I could watch every

time it comes on and be fine with it. So, love

Lethal Weapon, love Mel Gibson. That's my number

45. I like Lethal Weapon 4. OK, you would. Do

you know why? Joe Pesci. And it probably came

out in the 90s. Yeah, I think it did. All right,

so it might have came out in 2000. I don't know.

Why are you hating on me either way? Neither

one. I'm not hating. Oh, I thought he was going

to be a lot meaner. I thought he was going to

be like, you know what? It sucks. I was like,

dang, Kevin Savage. But then he didn't. It was

like, oh. She's too close. I can't do that, right?

All right, so my number 45 was lethal weapon.

Dan, what is yours? My number 45 is, you know,

I guess also a 90s film and with The Matrix.

It's not really much for me to say about The

Matrix, but it's great action, great concept.

Really sad they're talking about rebooting it.

don't really need to do that, that's not something

you need to do, please don't. The Matrix has

some, obviously it set the stage, it was one

of those pillar film films that changed the action

and sci -fi genre and you had so many movies

that tried to be The Matrix, including its own

sequels that weren't nearly as successful, but

to me it's just so much fun, there's such great

entertainment in it, just the end sequence. shootout.

It's just brilliantly directed. Keanu Reeves

being as Keanu Reeves as possible. And like,

the first time I watched it, I really knew nothing

about it. I don't know how I missed all the trailers

and the hype. I rented it from like a local video

store and watched it and knew nothing about it,

like the concept or anything. So I remember just

being really just taken aback like, that's insane.

And just the idea behind it just really seemed

like groundbreaking to me and since then I have

always felt it. So it's a... I mean, the special

effects don't hold up super well compared as

much as people thought they would, but I still

think that when you get to just the basic action

sequences and how well they're directed, it's

still great. It's sad that the Wachowski brothers,

the Wachowskis, never got to this level again.

Maybe one day they will, but just for this movie,

they made just a great film. Is that because

one's a lady now? What? I don't think that's

why they're not going to... That's not why they've

gone downhill, but I think the weird thing is

we're all still holding hope that they're gonna

like be able to recapture that magic, but I'm

with you, Dan. I mean, I've heard good things

about the Netflix series they did, but I've never,

I haven't watched it myself. But, and I like

Speed Racer. Speed Racer is kind of a guilty

pleasure and it's kind of crazy, but it's not,

I think, to the level of The Matrix. Right. I

know I'm agreeing with you on a couple things.

Number one, reboot not necessary. They had Matrix

reloaded. It was reloaded. You don't need to

reboot it if it's already been reloaded. And

I'm also obviously in agreement because I think

we're only about 10 off on this one. You had

it here at 45 and I had it at 56. So I'm right

in line with you with the Matrix. Matt, what

do you have now at number 44? All right. First

thing I want to say, I don't know. We don't really

get a lot of haters who say like, hey, you misspoke,

but I'm pretty sure... It's because they're so

used to it. Yo, dang! I think Ghost in the Shell

has no article. It's just Ghost in the Shell.

I had the immediate visual reaction of it. It's

not a Ghost in the Shell, but I don't think it's

THE Ghost. I think it's just Ghost in the Shell.

That's easier for me to say, then. See? There

we go, we fixed it. Just don't add things to

it, that's fine. I'm going to go to the 90s because

everyone else is. How about that? And for my

number 44, I'm going to go, franchise, franchise,

I'm going to choose Star Trek Generations. I

don't know that it's probably the best Star Trek

movie, but a lot of them are so good. And it's

not Nemesis, the worst one of the next generation

batch. No. So like, I mean, I really liked Generation,

you know, It gives you, uh, it gives you... So,

the interesting thing, like, when Next Generation

was on, they were making movies for the original

series. Like, so, to have this where it's like,

like a true handing off in the movie, like, here

we go, you get pretty much every original actor

ends up in, uh, in the Next Generation series

because of this movie. It's... I don't know,

Star Trek, guys. I like this one a lot because

I'm much more of a fan of the next generation

than the original series, and I wish we could

get a reboot of the next generation series like

we have been recently with the original series

because I just like Riker and Picard and all

them so much better than the original crew. So

I enjoyed this film. No matter what some people

said about it, I was a big fan, and I do agree

it's one of the better ones of the next generation

film. So I'm in full support of this one being

the Star Trek. Which movie is the one where the

Klingon come and fuck people up and then there's

like this they're in a room there's like zero

gravity and they walk in after this myrtleation

has happened and all the blood is like floating

in the air that's the original series oh there's

a movie yeah yeah it's probably it's probably

star trek like four or five yeah i want to watch

that again i scare the crap out of me i'm trying

to know it's got to be five or six because because

four is the whales And three is search for Spock.

Like, I know the first four really well. It's

the last couple that I have trouble with. Yeah,

I recently watched it, but I can't put the name

on it. We haven't watched it. I must have watched

it right before we started dating. So it's been

some years, sir. All right, time to put Star

Trek back in the rotation. Amanda, what do you

have at number 44? Oh, sir, bring it to 92. My

number 40 foe is my cousin Bitty. Joe Pesci,

the karate kid, boob. Marisa Tomei, her biological

clock is ticking. See, there's going to be a

ton. I don't know why I'm at my mo - Let me watch

this so many times. She liked it too though,

that's probably why. It was really fun and I

liked the comedy. I thought Joe Pesci as a like

a New York low -level lawyer in the South and

his nice suits getting stuck in the mud and all

that crap. I ate it up. I love it. I'll rewatch

it. Um, and you guys aren't saying anything.

I'm just listening. Okay. Listening. I'm thinking

that you were, when we came up with this idea

that you were really wanting to just do top 190s

films. So this is like your rebellion. You're

like, I'm going to put as many 90s films in here.

I don't need to be a top 190s films, okay? A

lot of my movies that I like just happen to be

from the 90s. My cousin Vinny. I haven't seen

this in years. This is like a trip down memory

lane for me. This is my time capsule of awesome.

All right. For my number 44, I'm going to just

join the party. Let's all be in the 90s. So I'm

going to go to 1995. I think this film is probably

one of the best of its genre, especially for

that time period. I'm going to go to Michael

Mann's film, Heat. Because it just doesn't get

much better as far as a crime, drama, thriller

than Heat. It's still somewhat of a masterpiece,

I think, in that genre and in one of Michael

Mann's best films. Some great performances here

from a number of different people. And I think

it's pretty rewatchable, too. So I got nothing

but love for Heat. Not The Heat, Amanda. This

is not The Heat. I was thinking that. I was like,

oh. Not the Sandra Bullock film. This is more

serious. So he's from 1995. How did that not

make my list? No, no, no, no, it's, it's, it's,

uh, Robert De Niro and the other one that like

his clone. No, like it's a great heist movie.

Like when I went on my heist gig, I asked everyone

I knew for their favorite heist movies and I

made a list and I tried to see anyone I could.

And I mean, I bought Heat and it was great. And

it's even like I'm looking at my list like off

to the side, these are the ones that didn't quite

make it and it's not on my list. Good movie.

All right, some agreement here. Amanda, have

you seen Heat? I don't know. It's from 1995.

Okay, well I didn't see every fucking movie in

the 90s. Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer,

Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Tom Sizemore, John

Voight. I should have seen this. Alright, we'll

put it in after the record. What? Dan, what do

you got at your number 44? I'm gonna step out

of the 90s for at least for a little bit Actually,

I think now and I don't think I have another

another nice movie, but much more recent. Well,

actually no, sadly This is almost a decade ago

and that another look at it with 2008 He's like

I just love this movie the documentary I style

make you work coming back and riding the world

of creative and actor he is you know, I did grow

up as a fan of wrestling and and I've seen documentaries

like behind the mat and you see so many parallels

with that in this film and We guess Mr. Tomei

is the theme of today's podcast because she's

also in this does it has a great performance

as well so it's just such a well -directed main

movie and it's flawless in my eyes. It gets better

and rewatched. It's so simple too. There's not

like a lot of flash to it. It's just, let's just

tell a story about this compelling character

who has a really, you know, has a struggling

life, this attempt to recapture fame, and this

kind of depiction of the subculture that many

people are well aware of and some have no idea

exists. a great film and my number 44 to me one

of the best films of the 2000s bar none. I still

think one of the best endings of the 2000s easily

for me. It's a really sad movie though like especially

if you know anybody who's like in this world

like there's my uh I'm really close to my aunt

and her best friend um was actually married to

macho man Randy Savage her name was her uh her

mat name or her wrestling name was Gorgeous George.

um her real name i'll keep on the table here

so not to bust her out but her life has been

this huge back and forth ever since then um And

I feel awful for her. She's had a horrible drug

addiction, had kids that she doesn't even have

worth her anymore. You can't ever keep track

of her. You never know what state she's going

to be in. She was in such great shape, and now

she struggles with her weight to try to keep

in this image so she can still try to make money

off how she looks. And it's really sad about

some of the struggles that they go through and

seeing Mickey work in this. made it so real too

like I believed it wholeheartedly I think this

also represents the first film up to this point

not that there's not gonna be more coming but

first film that has shown up on at least three

of our lists I had this at number 71 and I believe

Matt you had this listed somewhere as well 57

yeah so three of us so far with the equals love

for the wrestler all right Matt bring it back

to you then for your number 43 Alright, um, so

I think I found my, uh, my... Oh, jeez, I'm losing

it. Um, the theme is comic books because my next

one's the Superman. Specifically, I wanna say

specifically the Richard Donner Superman, but...

I don't know, I really, really love Superman

Returns, and I know that that movie has so much

hate, but it's such a perfect, like, replacement

for Superman 3. The one where the computer hacker

has a pen that hacks computers, and also, he's

Richard Pryor? And like, that's a weird, or even

Superman 4, where we clone Superman by throwing

atomic bombs at the sun, but... superman's hair

was on it clone with gene heckman's voiceover

for the whole movie for the whole super evil

superman oh man i love i love those original

four and superman returns superman Superman gets

a lot of guff. Everyone's like, you know, it's

hard to write a good story for such a, like,

superhuman, but I think it's not. I think it's

really easy to do a compelling story as long

as you're willing to let the story take you.

That's the thing, is you have to come in with

an open mind. Superman's a great character and

can have great stories, and I think I love the

Superman movies, except for Superman versus Batman,

because it's a fan movie. Oh, wow. Do you like

Man of Steel? I liked it when I saw it in theaters

and I had no one to talk to. When I watched it

in theaters, I was like, that was a pretty interesting

movie. And then as soon as I sat down in a room

with people and watched it on TV, I was like,

what the F is wrong with this movie? A lot. So

the classic Superman is more so than the modern

Supermans. Yeah. All right. Amanda, any Superman

love or right to your number 43? Yeah, I definitely

dig some old -school Superman, but I didn't have

as much hate for the newer Superman as everybody

else I'm not even just talking about Batman versus

Superman. I'm talking about What is the other?

Man of Steel. Yes, Man of Steel that I didn't

really like the whole yet I can't and stuff.

That was kind of weird, but I get it. Anyways,

we'll move on from that then my number 43 Still

in the fucking 90s big surprise 1997's face up

What do I need to say about this? I had a huge

love for Nick Cage back in the Disney, also John

Travolta, seeing them together and seeing them

flip -flop, so seeing them as both good guys

and bad guys was super freaking cool. The science

behind it? You know, pretty spot on. Pretty sure

that's a thing now. This movie had a ton of freaking

action, a ton of suspense, and also some heart,

you know, there's some sad freaking moments in

this too. So, dug it, it was outrageous, and...

Uh, yeah. This was like right on that same time

period where we got like The Rock and Con Air

and Face Off. It was like all, I remember I had

a movie club subscription back in the day when

you got like VHS tapes. And I think I got this.

Your mom? You watched that? Yeah, of course.

We watched everything. But, uh, it was like that

introductory where you get to like get seven

for the price of one and Face Off was one of

the ones I got. I can't believe you don't remember

that. I remember everything. All right, for my

number 43, I was silent earlier because it came

up already in today's episode, so I'm obviously

in agreement with Matt. I'm going into the world

of Paul Thomas Anderson for 2007's There Will

Be Blood for number 43. So this is why I was

saying, Amanda, I think I'll revisit this one.

She is like shaking her head. I'm not even going

to say what you look like just then. But There

Will Be Blood is great. It might be my favorite

Paul Thomas Anderson film up to this point. And

Daniel J. Lewis is freaking amazing to watch,

just about do anything. We'll see as he enters

the world of fashion here with Paul Thomas Anderson

here later this year, hopefully. But yeah, There

Will Be Blood. I find something new about it

that I like every time I watch it. Why? There's

the most despicable motherfuckers in this movie.

And the way he treats his son is fricking awful.

Maybe it's because I have such, I don't want

to call it a soft spot, but I get really defensive

when deaf people are treated badly. It makes

me super freaking mad. And there was no point

behind it. Maybe he just wanted his son to be

like, the world doesn't owe you anything, and

you gotta do what you gotta do, and all that

stuff. But I felt like, does he really like this

kid? That wasn't even his real kid, was it? You'll

have to rewatch the film. So why did he even

take that kid in? Why didn't he just like give

it to somebody else or whatever if he didn't

care about it? I think all these questions can

be answered by everyone. Yeah, you just need

to watch it. A rewatch is on the table. I need

to carve out like an entire day because I'm gonna

have to take breaks and then like go in the bathroom

and cry for a little while and then come back

out and then like slash a pillow or something

with a knife. Like there's gonna be so much back

and forth of emotion here. You better just let

me watch it by myself, Kevin. Don't even near

me because I'm gonna be a freaking mess. It's

got some of the greatest lines in recent times.

Like what? We'll have to rewatch it. Like you

got a milkshake over there! We'll have to rewatch

it and we'll write down the lines that you like

the best. Alright. There will be blood for Matt

for me equal love Alright Dan number 43, what

do you got for number 43? I talked about one

calling quick movie. I'm talking about another

one probably when people about comic book movies

is one that they say is the best of all time

and I don't necessarily disagree so for me number

43 is The Dark Knight you know it's I remember

seeing it in theaters and just like that was

a great summer because you had Iron Man and then

Dark Knight and there just was like a net game

changer like wow that's amazing cute seeing joker

on screen probably the best performance christopher

noll in the top of his game uh... it obviously

was the crowning achievement it has been for

that of comic book movies and in many ways changed

the oscars because when it didn't get nominated

for best picture next thing you know now we're

nominating ten movies and hopefully if we get

another dark knight it'll get a nomination but

it's great film great score And there's not much

more to say about The Dark Knight. It's probably

one of the most talked about movies regarding

comic books of all time and deservedly so. Yeah,

obviously I'm in agreement. I had it I think

in the 80s. I had 83. I think that's the highest

I had any comic book film. I could be wrong.

I have to go back through my list, but I agree.

I think it's changed the game for comic book

films. It's something that, you know, we grew

up on comic book films that like that are more

in the vein of like what Matt was talking about

with Superman and not that there's anything wrong

with that. But, you know, we've got all these

just kind of like crazy cartoony like films with

the different Batman films and Superman films,

etc. And nobody had really gone to this level

and tried. something like this and the fact that

it was so successful you know testament to the

combination of both the director involved and

the actors and actresses involved but yeah a

lot to love about Dark Knight for sure. Matt

any thoughts? I mean So, he says it's one of

the most talked about movies, and I think that's

what killed it for me, is I didn't see it until

it was on DVD, and I had heard for, you know,

six months how it was the best movie ever. So,

like, I don't have the love for this movie. It's

an okay movie. It's the best of the Christopher

Nolan 3, like, because the other two are just

trash. but like it's it's it's good like i can't

not say that joker wasn't amazing like he did

an amazing job acting but it's not my favorite

batman movie my favorite batman movie will be

uh in the next 10 all right we'll have to wait

and see what that will be uh matt that means

it's your turn right am i screwing up numbers

or is this still a thing no that sounds right

all right What do you got next? Number 42. Correct.

Continuing with the comic book theme of this

episode, I have Ant -Man. It's a superhero movie,

but it's like, again, not like the superhero

movies we grew up with. This is like a genre

of the movie. This is a heist movie that happens

to have superheroes in it. like it man is great

uh just the buzz around it was uh was amazing

especially because again it's a departure from

what we were getting even just year or two before

it like and i love the concept of doing a genre

thing in a thing like i'm looking forward to

getting like a Like, you know, a Star Wars horror

movie, say. And so getting a heist movie in the

Marvel Universe is 100 % right up my alley, especially

because I really like superheroes and I really

like heist movies. So, Ant -Man 42. Amanda, thoughts

on Ant -Man? I've only seen it the once, but

I thought it was pretty great. I don't think

it sticks out to me as one that I would put at

the top of the Marvel Universe, but that's only

because I've seen it once, and I've seen the

other ones a lot more. We own it, I just need

to get back into it. I think Michael Paneo was

like the best part of that movie for me. He was

hilarious. Dan, do you have any thoughts on Ant

-Man or a response to what Matt was talking about

before with the Dark Knight trilogy? I mean,

I can see, regarding Dark Knight, if white people

talk about it, you wouldn't like it. One, I disagree

that the other movies in the Nolan trilogy are

trash. I find that kind of... I don't want to

get into that now, but yeah, man, I like it.

Paul Rudd, I'm a big fan of him. I had some issues

with it, mostly same issues you tend to have

with Marvel films. The villain's kind of forgettable.

It's your standard origin plot, but I do agree.

The high sounds were strong. I loved how they

kind of used the... the powers of Ant -Man, and

both the way he was able to communicate with

animals, or ants I should say, and the way he

would be able to grow and shrink things, and

I thought that was well done, and Michael Pena

like... Amanda mentioned, so it ended up being

a lot better than I thought it was going to be

considering all the turmoil with directors and

everything that happened beforehand. I still

think if Edgar Wright had fully directed it,

it would have been maybe even better, but still,

what we got was a pretty solid film. Alright,

I can see a whole sidebar conversation going

off on the website here about where we're putting

all of our different comic book films and kind

of who thinks what. So love to see if that actually

happens or not. Amanda, what do you have at number

42? Didn't Dan just go? No, he just responded.

Oh, okay. I'm confused. I'm not screwing up the

numbers today, no matter how hard you try to

get them to. Don't let me! My number 42 is still

in the 90s. Stop your hatin'. It's a 1993 hocus

pocus. We had a Christmas movie. Now we got a

fuckin' Halloween movie. We're just roundin'

it out, all right? Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica

Parker. That's what's up, okay? Everybody loves

this movie. Everybody wants a sequel, okay? No,

they don't. This movie is amazing. There's a

sequel? No, everybody loves a sequel. There's

always been... Who wants a sequel? Okay, I've

seen 6 ,000 times on Facebook. They even made

a freaking poster for it, okay? It's a thing.

One fan posted that 6 ,000 times. No, Kevin.

So Hocus Pocus is better than Practical Magic,

is that what we're saying? Yes, because this

movie is one that makes you get into the holiday,

alright? Halloween, what does everybody want

to do? Everyone want to watch Halloween Town,

Halloween, or Hocus Pocus, okay? That's a thing.

I love the characters. I thought it was super

fun. I was the perfect age when I saw this the

first time. And I'm definitely gonna re -watch.

Why the fuck are you hanging your head in your

hands right now? His face is all red. I'm hating

you. I hate you right now. Stop it. I'm sorry.

I have no words. No words. I enjoy this movie.

Thank you, Matt. Thank you. This is an enjoyable

movie. Alright next Halloween do the practical

magic Hocus Pocus double feature. Yes, it's a

thing Alright For my number 42. I'm still getting

a look of hate. I'm sorry if I had Superman like

death rays in my eyes. He'd be done skis True.

Heat vision. Heat vision. For my number 42, I'm

going to go to 2012, not too long ago, one of

the more recent films on today's section. I'm

going to go to Ang Lee's Life of Pi because...

I think this movie is amazing. It's amazing from

a visual standpoint. It's amazing from a thematic

standpoint, and I just think there's a lot to

love, and I think there's a lot of - From a thematic

standpoint? What the fuck do you mean by thematic

standpoint? No, you better break it down. Make

that a reason. What themes? Different takes on

religion, and the way that it kind of poses some

questions and kind of flips things on its head,

and makes you - reconsider things that you think?

Do you hang out with a tiger or do you let this

dude drown? Alright, is that a question you're

asking me? That's the question I got from that

movie. I think that's one of the coolest CGI

tigers that I've ever seen in my life. It's a

kid and some CGI shit. That's basically Jungle

Book on a raft. Except not. Yes. When's the last

time you saw this film? When it came out. Okay,

well then you need to re -watch that because

I think you missed a whole bunch of it, especially

in the second half. Bored as hell. Bored as hell.

But I think the stuff is there. This film is

amazing I've never heard anybody but a man to

say something bad about this film and I just

I love the commentary it has so Dan you got to

be on my side on this life of pies amazing No,

I actually don't like it. No, I actually I love

playing the pie It was you know, one of my favorite

that was a great year for movies in general and

I was one of my favorite movies movies of that

year. Also, you know, I'm not a huge 3D fan,

but actual good practical use of 3D. It was one

I'm glad I saw in theaters in 3D because there

are certain sequences I think that are much more

impactful when you see that, especially like

there's a boat sinking sequence and some of them

are spectacular sinking sequences and just how

it... brand blends of reality and fantasy and

it's you know it's visually like to me you know

i think it won the Oscar for best special effects

and deservingly so um because it's it's a great

looking movie and uh typically with cgi using

cgi to make it look realistic which it does obviously

with the tiger but then there's moments where

they were taking reality and trying to spin it

and make it look more fantastical and uh it was

just the creativity in it was amazing so and

the fact that that was the guy's first performance

ever in a movie to me was insane because you

know it's him the entire time by himself acting

to cgi nothingness so it's pretty good pretty

impressive debut performance so i played a lot

of barbies when i kid when i was a kid so does

that count because i had a big imagination was

just me and some plastic stuff i guess i mean

if you wanted to did you I had some epic Barbie

adventures. Did you have Anne Lee in the background

directing you? Trying to get the emotion out

for the particular scene? Then maybe. He really

brought out the best in me. I have as many words

for that response as I do for Hocus Pocus. Mad,

have you seen Life of Pi? I have not. Alright,

we'll have to add that to your homework list.

Alright, that means it is time for Dan's number

42 because that's how this rotation works. So

what do you got, Dan? Often number 41 go to one

of my favorite comedies of all time Buy one of

my favorite comedians of all time and I'm heat

Steve Carell fan was ever since I saw him in

The Daily Show and Office is one of my all -time

favorite TV show So it makes sense that I'm a

huge fan of the 40 year old version of the movie

not just some random dude But I love this movie

again, it's why we watch I just end up seeing

this movie in theater three times for some reason

it was just one of those things were just went

with separate friends and separate days so but

I laughed each time a great deal um you know

and as a fan as a person with a lot of friends

within the home and who also collect toys like

him like I saw a lot of parallels with him and

a lot of my friends and there's a lot of debate

about who would be that guy in the future out

of all of our group so that's you know yeah but

uh I think Karel's so freaking endearing it's

such an amazing cast too because you look at

this you have a lot of people in this before

they became huge stars, from Jonah Hill to Seth

Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jane Lynch. A lot of

these people, like, it was Judd Apatow, one of

his, I think, his best skills is getting talent

and seeing talent before in casting, and I think

this is probably... one of his best examples

of it. So I love 40 -Year -Old Virgin, as obviously,

because I have it on this list. So that's kind

of redundant, but still. But yeah, it's great

comedy. Yeah, I agree. I think there's a lot

to love there for 40 -year -old Richard. I need

to re -watch this one, actually. I saw it quite

a few times when it came out, but it's been a

long time since I have seen it. I'd like to see

where I would stack that up against some of the

other comedies that came out in that same time

period. But I think you got a lot of accurate

statements there that you made about the cast

and about the moments there. So, Amanda, any

love for 40 -year -old Richard? I've only seen

parts of this movie and it was like drunk at

somebody's house and they had a bootleg version,

so I don't think I got a good... Have you ever

seen a movie all the way through without falling

asleep that wasn't from the 90s? Yes. Okay. I

just double -checking that for our viewers. What?

The other day. Last night. I'm just kidding.

Wow. Idiot. You got through A Valley of Violence,

which was a garbage movie, and you couldn't get

through anything else. You gotta catch me at

the right time. Alright. Met. It's your turn

for the last pick of the day. My final one, yeah.

So like I said at the beginning of this, most

of my movies are movies I've seen for the first

time in the last five years and this is going

to be astonishing to some people. That includes

the entirety of the Indiana Jones franchise.

You've never seen that until the last five years?

Yeah, I just saw those as a grown ass man for

the first time ever. And I'm glad that they're

coming up on your list then. Yeah, I mean, they're

great. They're right up my alley. And there's

no reason I shouldn't have grown up with these

movies. And I don't know why I didn't freaking

I mean, Harrison Ford is always great. Like even

even in like Air Force One, he's good. Right.

And so like and this where it's just like his

bread and butter like the perfect time like the

perfect they came out the perfect time you know

it's just they're so good like why did i not

watch hey you know what's great you know what's

the best thing about watching them as an adult

Is that uh, I don't have nostalgia and I don't

hate king nearly chris's skull like I don't know.

I get there's a lot of haters I don't quite understand

it, but I also wasn't waiting for it for 20 years

Sure, and so it lives up to my expectations of

hey everyone hates this and it's not the worst

movie Do you have a favorite? Um out of the series?

Uh, no because I watched them all over like a

weekend and so I don't know the difference You

know, I don't know because you know, there's

some weirdness to them like the was the last

crusade is the the chalice and that's good Most

people go to either the last crusade or Raiders

of the Lost Ark I believe is kind of the Consensus

that most people were in one of those two camps

with temple the doom being temple of doom being

a little bit lesser So I won't talk too much.

Alright. But I do have some Jones on my list.

Alright, I guess we'll have to wait and see which

one makes the list for Amanda. But... Amanda,

one thing you can't reveal is what is your last

pick for today. What's your number 41? All right,

shut up. 1999. Just don't even give us ears anymore.

Stop it. This is my last Bruce Willis film. Oh,

you're going to say this is your last 90s film?

No. Bruce Willis. More Bruce Willis. What do

you got? The Sixth Sense. and national and uh...

and said his tippy -topper here i'd say uh...

love well the field is a scared the crap out

of me when i was younger and i saw this having

seen some of the commentary afterwards uh...

rewatching this is amazing because he he does

this thing where right before one of the ghost

happens if there's some interaction with the

ghost on the screen somewhere, there's going

to be an object or a piece of the scenery that's

this red color. It's going to be red. So at one

point, the kid's sweater is red. His tent has

got a red blanket. There's a red doorknob on

the door that Bruce Willis can't get out of the

basement. So you can just pick out all these

things on the re -watch and go back and see more.

I love a film that you can re -watch over and

over again and pick out more and more. This movie

takes you to some really dark places and it's

got one of the most iconic and most parody line

I'd say. So I think it's got some pop culture

heat to it and I think that it's something that

I'm gonna run over you watch and I think that

it's a great part of the genre. So I know you

said that you can pick up more things each and

every time that you watch it. Looking forward

to our Halloween double feature. I watch Hocus

Pocus. Is that going to be something I can say

about that? That every time I watch it, I pick

up something new? You might, because you've only

seen it one time. This is a kids movie versus

an M. Night Shyamalan movie, OK? Shut your mouth.

All right. Any other thoughts on the Sixth Sense

out there, Dan, Matt? I guess I'm kind of similar

to the way Matt was with Dark Knight with Sixth

Sense, because before... I saw it long after

like all the hype and actually think it was it

was definitely spoiled for me before I watched

it. So it didn't have that same impact for me.

I mean, it's I think still show on best film

and there's there is some great filmmaking and

some great child performances and one of Bruce

Bruce Willis's best performance, but it didn't

have that longing impression because I feel like

it got by the time I saw the film, I felt like

I already saw it because I was already so much

within pop culture at that point. Also, Donnie

Wahlberg, I did not know that that was frickin'

Donnie Wahlberg. And then I found out about him.

I'm like, no way! There's no way! And it doesn't

look like him at all whatsoever. A complete body

transformation. The question is, how many listeners

know who Donnie Wahlberg is? What? Just kidding.

Matt, Nanny, have you seen Sixth Sense? Actually,

this is one, uh... In the 90s, my parents would

always go to the movie store every week and rent

a movie and watch it. And I remember sitting

with them for about half of this movie and losing

interest. But also, was it 99? I was like 12.

So it's not really for me. I do have an M. Night

Shyamalan movie, I believe, in my top 10, though,

so I don't, I mean, I have respect for him as

a director, I just, this one, it was at my cup

of tea when I tried to watch it as a kid. Did

you get what was going on, though? Or had you

not? I knew something was wrong, but I did not,

I didn't foresee the ending, and I did hear about

it after I didn't watch it. Did you see the ghosts

and stuff? Like, none of those creeped you out?

Oh, that actually might have been why I lost

interest, because it was a little too freaky

for me. Yeah. Alright, so some sixth sense and

some shamalong love. Alright for my number 41

as far back in the past as I'm gonna go obviously

for today being the last pick up today and Matt

you said about a film being in your list that

was a recent watch this is definitely a recent

watch for me even though it is quite a bit older

from 1954. Recently we went through and watched

a few of the old Alfred Hitchcock films, still

have a bunch to get to. Was not a big fan of

one of them, but am a big fan of this one. So

my number 41 is going to be Rear Window. So I

thought this was far superior to Vertigo and

I enjoyed Rear Window quite a bit. I was pretty

much on the edge of my seat for the whole film.

Like I was very much into what was going on and

into... Everything about it. So I think there's

some good performances here. I think there's

this is a great example of classic filmmaking

and Made me interested interested in watching

more Hitchcock films for sure So it definitely

brought it back up after vertigo kind of let

me down a little bit So rear window a lot of

love number 41 on my pick Amanda. You just recently

watched this with me as well I know you've seen

it before but you also rewatched it then with

me on this time. So what do you what do you think

of rear window? I'm a fan. I'm not going to put

it on my list, but it's something that I, in

a college course, had to break down piece by

piece. So I have a lot of respect for what was

going on. And I think that it was some really

good filmmaking for the time. And I haven't seen

a ton of Hitchcock stuff, but it's definitely

my favorite Hitchcock movie. All right. Fair

enough. Dan, last pick up today. What do you

have at your number 41? I'm going with another

comedy and if I wasn't going to just like list

if I was right here films on this list based

upon how much time I've loved them. This would

be near the top because since I first saw this

movie, and I don't know if I saw it in theaters,

and I always saw this equal in theaters, but

it's been a huge part of my life. Especially

as a kid, I grew up playing baseball a lot. It's

one movie that we quoted a great deal. And it's

not that baseball film you're thinking of. It's

a different one. It's the Major League from 1989.

So much so much goodness in this so many great

quotes so many great characters like it Like

there's a lot of baseball movies. There's a lot

of baseball movies in the 80s, especially but

I think what major league made major league different

obviously was You know one of the greatest Call

accommodators all of all time in the background,

of course adding great great quotes just over

a great story of Cleveland being the ultimate

loser team and Having them come together Tom

Bergeron Wesley Snipes Charlie Sheen and Everyone

was like had their own little arc and considering

how many characters there were that that was

pretty impressive I think and a sequel is not

nearly as good, but there's so much to love about

major league. It's very funny And it's so I think

a good sports movie to outside of that like even

if you don't just look at the comedic elements

Possibly to the greatest sports manager of all

time within a movie as well. I mean that mustache

is pretty pretty intense. So Yeah, I loved it

as a kid. I probably watched it when I was far

too young which is odd for me because I was very

sheltered as a kid, but for some reason I was

able to watch it and Probably I know I didn't

have cables the kid so that wasn't it My first

draft when we were trying to come up with this

list My first draft consisted of 300 movies and

that's where I had to pare down to get to 100

and Major League was definitely within that 300

I don't know where it would end up if I was trying

to like number it out I have two baseball films

that I have ahead of it But I loved Major League

growing up and I still get a kick out of it when

I watch it so I think it was it was part of the

Part of a time period where there was some really

funny yet Not, I don't know, like there were

some sports movies that came out in the 80s that

were just done right for me. Like it didn't get

to the level that we got with trying to be too

melodramatic or too cheesy that we got like later

on in time. So I love Nature League. Wow, okay.

Do, do, do, do. All right, let's recap our 50

through 41 picks for everybody. Matt, you're
