Top Shelf: Afi Top 100 (ghost-hat Network)

Wait! We’re back! No, we’re not. Sorry for that lie, but it’s the famed “microphone test” episode we talked so highly about for the last few years! The best moments recorded “off air” have been picked and edited down to a nice little 22 minute episode (down from 2 1/2 hours!).  Now hear Lindsay and Jeff […]

A special, final bonus episode as we look back at the 100 movies, discuss our favorites, our less-than-favorites, and our personal Top 10 movies from the list. Thank you for the long haul and we look forward to the future!

We review film #1: “Citizen Kane”…the 1941 classic abo-ROSEBUD! THE DAMN SLED WAS CALLED ROSEBUD!  Oh…sorry…spoilers.

We review film #2: “The Godfather”…the 1972 classic mob film that teaches you three very important things: 1) It’s not personal, it’s strictly business, 2) leave the gun, take the cannoli, and 3) don’t ask me about my business, Kay.

We review film #3: “Casablanca”…the 1942 film that takes place before Rick becomes the drunkard we see in “African Queen”…but after he’s a detective in San Francisco…

We review film #4: “Raging Bull”…the 1980 boxing movie that is the antithesis of “ROCKY” in every way imaginable.

We review film #5: “Singin’ in the Rain”…the 1952 musical that is soooooooo good. Seriously. Donald O’Conner is our homeboy. That man…

We review film #100: “Ben Hur”.  No, you’re not reading that incorrectly. We rewatched our first movie and actually gave it a chance like we should have! Did we like it? Did we hate it? I don’t know, you’ll have to listen and find out!

We review film #6: “Gone with the Wind”…the 1939 classic film that goes to show you the main character doesn’t necessarily have to be the good guy.  Right? Scarlet is the bad guy? I can’t tell.

We review film #7: “Lawrence of Arabia”…the 1962 film that goes to show you can spend four hours following a guy around in the desert and STILL make it entertaining.

We review film #8: “Schindler’s List”…the 1993 film where Liam Neeson proves he has a very particular set of skills to help save a portion of the Jewish community during WWII.

We review film #9: “Vertigo”…the 1958 movie that proves you should never go up into a bell tower unless it has railings installed.  Seriously…where’s OSHA when you need them?

We review film #10: “The Wizard of Oz”…the 1939-okay seriously? Have you not seen this movie? Do I need to write anything here? Didn’t think so.  FLYING MONKEYS!!!

We review film #11: “City Lights”…the 1931 Chaplin classic that proves the man was a genius with his filmmaking.  How do you make a blind girl mistake the Tramp for a rich man without him speaking?  All in the sounds you use…

We review film #12: “The Searchers”…the 1956 western that wasn’t like any other western I have seen and was apparently an influence on “TAXI DRIVER” and “STAR WARS”…huh…

We review film #13: “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope”…the 1977 classic sci-fi film where Indiana Jones helps Colonel Nicholson and The Joker, save Jake’s psychotic ex-fiancé from Mufasa and Baron Frankenstein.  Right?

We review film #14: “Psycho”…the 1960 horror suspense film that teaches you to hate showers and NEVER STAY AT A ROADSIDE MOTEL. EVER.

We review film #15: “2001: A Space Odyssey”…the 1968 sci-fi classic that proves you can make a 2 1/2 hour movie where every frame can potentially be a piece of art.  Silly Kubrick and your attention to detail.

On this special BONUS episode, Lindsay and Jeff record a commentary track for one of their favorite Christmas movies: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.  Do you really need more info then that?

We review film #16: “Sunset Boulevard”…the 1950 film that-holy crap why the hell is she so creepy!? Get it away! Burn her!
