Top Shelf – AFI 100

We review film #90: “Swing Time“…the 1936 film where having a lucky quarter and being able to dance, means you immediately can swoon the random stranger in the street and make you change your marriage plans.

We review film #91: “Sophie’s Choice“…the 1982 drama about Sophie, her extended flashbacks, crazy boyfriend, and a southern novelist downstairs.  The choice isn’t what you think.

We review film #92: “Goodfellas“…the 1990 crime mob boss film.  Food.  Blood.  Swearing.  Ray Liotta looked better in the earlier 90’s and he doesn’t know how to laugh.

We review film #93: “The French Connection“…the 1971 Gene Hackman staring tour of 1970’s New York City.  Man, what a crummy place that town use to be.

We review film #94: “Pulp Fiction“…the 1994 Quentin Tarantino classic about bad guys, shooting, drugs, and a mysterious briefcase. Fun movie all around. Oooh…people get shot!

We review film #95: “The Last Picture Show“…the 1971 black and white film about teens coming of age in a small Texan town, staring a handful of modern day actors in their first ever film roles! Not that exciting.

We review film #96: “Do The Right Thing“…the 1989 amazing Spike Lee joint about a neighborhood in Brooklyn on one hot, summer day.  It’s awesome.  Watch it now.  Seriously.  Watch it.

We review film #97: Blade Runner…the cult sci-fi classic film where Harrison Ford chases people in the rain. Seriously, it’s never NOT raining in this film.

We review film #98: “Yankee Doodle Dandy”…and we liked it!  The 1942 film staring James Cagney as George M. Cohan, the Broadway writer/performer from the early 20th century and his rise to popularity.
