Top Shelf – AFI 100

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…

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.
