The Godfather Part II
The crime sage continues in our 88th edition of the T100P. Al Pacino and John Cazale are outstanding, although the rest of the cast kills it too. Francis Coppola's second-most worshipped film also fe…

American Graffiti
George Lucas's 1st AFIer is a lot more grounded than his most famous one, but it was a monster success all its own. The young cast (many first-timers) is uniformly excellent and the soundtrack is jus…

Groundhog Day
We tip our hat to the stupidest observance on the calendar with our 9th Not 100 Project podcast. The AFI hasn’t paid this beloved flick its due, but we’re part of a vast group that loves it. It’s a u…

The Godfather
If we have to hard-sell you on T100P podcast #85, then you probably don’t like classic movies in the first place. Then again, maybe you---like Peter Griffin---believe the movie “insists upon itself.”…

Cabaret
The 84th T100P podcast is the final musical on the list. Liza Minnelli absolutely rocks the Cabaret in the movie of same. The Ellises differ on this one, but (maybe?) not as widely as expected. Lap i…

A Clockwork Orange
Our first ‘cast of 2015 is the last Stanley Kubrick Top 100 film! Malcolm McDowell wrings every drop out of his iconic character. Alex is one of the meanest “victims” ever put on film. We also get in…

The French Connection
Popeye’s here in the action-packed Gene Hackman cop thriller. Chasing foreign smack peddlers in the dead of winter and putting the public at risk makes for a complex flick. Hear us! Also, we spend 5 …

The Last Picture Show
New Hollywood meets Classic Hollywood in this John Ford homage. Names like Bogdanovich, Bridges, Burstyn and Bottoms are featured in our 81st T100P podcast. All of them are “one & done” after this th…

Patton
The 80th T100P podcast chronicles the WWII adventures of General George S. Patton, played so memorably by George C. Scott. War biopics are not a barrel of fun, but we managed to have some fun WITH th…

MASH
The ‘70s are upon us! Bring on the best decade in film history. We kick it off with Robert Altman’s funny war blockbuster which inspired the beloved TV show. It has some unforgivable “isms” though. H…

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
Funny westerns are not common and our 78th ‘cast features a big debate about whether or not that shift in tone works. Newman & Redford do have unmatched chemistry in this smash hit. This is our final…

Easy Rider
Get your motor runnin’ because our 77th edition revs up the hippy bike movie. Jack Nicholson became a star, Peter Fonda became the icon of cool and Dennis Hopper became a madman (and he also directed…

The Wild Bunch
Sam Peckinpah’s only AFI film is another 1960’s game-changer, this time on the violence scale. William Holden seems to serve as Bloody Sam’s alter ego and this character is no hero. When he and his A…

Midnight Cowboy
A small-time cartoonish cowboy hits the big time and struggles to find his dimwitted footing. This portrait of NYC in the late ‘60s is rough & grimy. At least stars Jon Voight & Dustin Hoffman get to…

2001: A Space Odyssey
Zarathustra! Whatever that means! Yup, the 74th T100P podcast sees us trying our simple-minded best to unlock the puzzling mysteries of Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi art film. Apes, A.I. and awe-inspiring…

The Shining
The 8th edition of the Not 100 Project is Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic! This is our longest podcast yet and we didn’t even cover all the bloody bases. Tune in to hear us discuss Jack & Wendy, Dic…

The Graduate
Mike Nichols’ much-ballyhooed counter-culture com-dram makes for T100P podcast #73. Baby boomers and the AFI absolutely worship this flick. Does the sex comedy hold up after 47 years? I just want to …

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
Wouldn’t you want perfect Poitier as your son-in-law? Maybe not if you’re “liberal” old coots Hepburn and, in his only AFI film, Tracy. Yup, race is the topic in another T100P podcast. This one isn’t…

Bonnie And Clyde
Beautiful people are bank-robbing rage-against-the-machiners in the 71st T100P podcast. Enjoy Warren Beatty now because this fine performance represents his only AFI movie. Faye Dunaway is his equal …
