Have You Ever Seen
Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!

The Lady Eve
Lucky #21 in the Next 100 Project is one of the great screwball rom-coms to ever see the light of day. Barbara Stanwyck defines silky greatness and Henry Fonda (yes, ol’ Hank) is delightful at pratfa…

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Oooooooooh yeah! The 20th edition of the Next 100 Project is a bonafide classic for people who grew up in the ’80s. Matthew Broderick is the most-famous character John Hughes ever created, smug thoug…

Thelma & Louise
Ridley Scott's feminist road movie is 25 years old, but some of the characters' struggles remain awfully current. Sure, this flick is political, but it's also "Butch & Sundance in a car!" How can you…

Se7en
David Fincher’s serial killer thriller is what we explore in N100P podcast #18. It’s bloody, it’s bleak and it’s also brilliant. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are very solid, but Kevin Spacey steals t…

His Girl Friday
A comedy classic with Cary Grant & Rosalind Russell is #17 in the Next 100 Project. Even 76 years later, it's sharp, funny and remarkably competent (Bev's favourite word!). This is Howard Hawks' best…

The Empire Strikes Back
The consensus choice for best Star Wars movie is what we'll talk about in episode #16 of the Next 100 Project. Like most people, we rag on the prequels. Empire, though, has some pretty good acting an…

Roger & Me
Hey, a documentary! Yup, the 15th edition of the Next 100 Project is Michael Moore’s 1st flick. He found his voice right out of the gate and continues to showboat about important subjects...and to ra…

No Country For Old Men
Joel and Ethan Coen’s Oscar-winning modern western chase picture is the subject of the 14th edition of the Next 100 Project. The brothers are known for wacky comedies, so this flick was a truly cynic…

Blackboard Jungle
Movies about inspirational teachers are common, but this one---although quite dated---has some grit to it. Glenn Ford has the task of trying to educate a wide array of tough teens in the (overrated) …

The Pride Of The Yankees
To honour baseball’s 2016 Opening Day, we cover a genial biopic about the remarkable Lou Gehrig. Gary Cooper is solid as the Iron Horse who loves 2 things above all else: baseball & his devoted wife …

Big
The Next 100 Project is back in the modern era with the one that cinched Tom Hanks' status as a bonafide movie star. There'a an awful lot of pathos in what is absolutely a funny movie, but that patho…

The Ten Commandments
The daddy of Biblical epics is our first (and probably only) chance to talk about a Cecil B. DeMille picture. The Moses story has been filmed many times (Ryan thinks none of them get it right), but i…

The Wages Of Fear
The 9th episode in the Next 100 Project tackles a foreign film, something the AFI obviously couldn't do. Henri-Georges Clouzot's ultra-tense thriller about 4 men driving 2 trucks with nitro-gylycerin…

American Beauty
Oscar Month ends with this episode as Kevin Spacey & Annette Bening share the hate in most comical fashion. The Oscar-winner was a mega-hit and it’s still vivid & funny, but also a touch dated. The y…

Oscars Preview 2016
With this 7th Next 100 Project podcast, we join the cacophony of movie people weighing in on the 2016 Academy Awards. With #Oscarssowhite being an issue again this year, it’s going to be a controvers…

Kramer vs. Kramer
A month ahead of another "vs." movie (with the bitter bat & the arrogant alien), KvK is about as grounded & real as a blockbusting Oscar-winner can get. Dustin Hoffman & Meryl Streep are brilliant as…

The Sting
Oscar Month is under way with this stunningly popular title. Newman & Redford have more chemistry than just about any couple ever paired up on the big screen. Their charm takes them a long way and th…

There Will Be Blood
Oil! Also, money, religion, power...and blood! Paul Thomas Anderson’s blisteringly intimate epic brings us another in a long line of huge Daniel Day-Lewis performances. This remains PTA’s most-succes…

Reservoir Dogs
It’s the 24th anniversary of the launch of Quentin Tarantino’s career when this flick was screened at Sundance. The ultimate movie geek’s 1st film remains cool as a cuke and the cast gnashes their te…

Before Sunrise
Next 100 Project episode #2 is a romance in the land of Schwarzenegger! Richard Linklater’s simple little poem---and its sequels---are must-sees for anyone who loves big-screen love. Ethan Hawke is p…
