Top Shelf – AFI 100

We review film #39: “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”…the 1964 film that proves you can have a crazy long title and still be a good film.

We review film #40: “The Sound of Music”…the 1965 musical film that you will enjoy no matter what you’re stance is on musicals.  No really.  Love story? Check.  Catchy music?  Check.  Beautiful scenery?  Check.  Nazis and people outsmarting them?  Check.

We review film #41: “King Kong”…the 1933 classic that just goes to show you: Stop Motion Ape > 3 hours of Jack Black.

We review film #42: “Bonnie & Clyde”…the 1967 film about Bonnie & Clyde.  Seriously, did you expect something else?

We review film #43: “Midnight Cowboy”…the 1969 film that tells us exactly where Dustin Hoffman is walking and when, as well as ‘Everybody’s Talkin’” plays non-stop.

We review film #44: “The Philadelphia Story”…the 1940 romantic comedy where Katharine Hepburn plays Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant is Sheldon from ‘The Big Bang Theory’, and drunk Jimmy Stewart is brilliant.

We review film #45: “Shane”…the 1953 western were a wanderer comes into town and ends up helping people before riding off alone at the end.  Just like every other popular western.

We review film #46: “It Happened One Night”…the 1934 where a guy falls in love with the woman he initially hates after being forced to be with her.  You know…that trope.  But they did it so well!

We review film #47: “A Streetcar Named Desire”…the 1951 film about a lady going slowly insane while living with her sister and brother-in-law.  Insane is still politically correct, right?
