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

We review film #17: “The Graduate”…the 1967 film that you’ve seen spoofed in a handful of movies and holy animal prints!

We review film #18: “The General”…the 1926 silent film staring Buster Keaton doing amazing things that no actor today would be allowed to do.  It’s.  Amazing.

We review film #19: “On the Waterfront”…the 1954 film that proves a dock working, former fighting, pigeon caretaker can single handedly take down the mafia run docks.  Or…something like that.

We review film #20: “It’s A Wonderful Life”…the 1946 film that is perfect.  Just…perfect.

We review film #21: “Chinatown”…the 1974 noir/crime drama where Jack Nicholson takes us on a tour of 1937 Los Angeles…and gets his nose cut along the way.

Happy Halloween everyone!   This year we decided to watch the movie Lindsay has been complaining about not being on this list since…well…before last year’s Halloween special!  We watched the 1980 classic “THE SHINING”. All movie watching and no work make us very happy campers. All movie watching and no work make us very happy campers. All movie watching […]

We review film #22: “Some Like It Hot”…the 1959 comedy that goes to show two men dressed as women can be funny and ultimately be the inspiration behind a television show in the late 70’s that stars Tom Hanks.  Seriously, this movie was brilliant.

We review film #23: “The Grapes of Wrath”…the 1940 film that’s not about mean grapes but instead a very hard hitting, real life view of life during the depression for out-of-work individuals.  Holy depressing Batman.

We review film #24: “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”…the 1982 film that-holy crap he’s making the bike fly.  What the hell?  E.T. is a Jedi. NOTE: The episode is not explicit, except for 2 uses of damn and ass.  Sorry family members, Jeff tried very hard not to swear in this one!

We review film #25: “To Kill A Mockingbird”…the 1962 film that proves not to judge a book by it’s cover.  Pun intended.

We review film #26: “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”…the 1939 film where…seriously…Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra.  There is no other reasons that can be given to convince you to watch this movie.  Immediately.

We review film #27: “High Noon”…the 1952 western with people you know from other shows of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.  It’s like AIRPLANE! but it’s a western.  And not a comedy.  And nothing like AIRPLANE!

We review film #28: “All About Eve”…the 1950 film about the the-ator.  Makes me want to slap them for pronouncing it that way.

We review film #29: “Double Indemnity”…the 1944 classic noir film that just goes to show you, if you want to collect the most on your Accidental Life Insurance Policy, jump from a moving train to kill yourself.

In this week’s episode we watch the APOCALYPSE NOW documentary “HEARTS OF DARKNESS” and do some house keeping with the show as we prepare to tackle the top 30 of the list!  Yay!

We review film #30: “Apocalypse Now”…the 1979 film that-okay seriously!  Vietnam War you were terrible!  I hate you!  So.  Much.  Oh and NEVER GET OFF THE BOAT.

Due to the passing of Robin Williams, one of our favorite actors, we are releasing a special BONUS episode this week as we watch the 1997 film “GOOD WILL HUNTING” and talk why his death has affected us so much.

We review film #31: “The Maltese Falcon”…the 1941 film that shows exactly how a noir mystery film should be in story telling and acting.  Besides, who wouldn’t want a $16 million plus Cadbury Cream Filled Chocolate Falcon?  Right?!

We review film #32: “The Godfather Part II”…the 1974 classic mob film that proved a sequel can do better than it’s original film.  Seriously, I have nothing else to say about this fantastic film.  WATCH IT.

We review film #33: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”…the 1975 classic film that proves Jack Nicholson play-wait, is that Danny DeVito?  And Christopher Lloyd?  Is this some sort of sequel/prequel to THE SHINING and TAXI?
