We're getting artsy with it this week with Wong Kar Wai's achingly beautiful film, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (#5 on the board). This one isn't popcorn entertainment, but its one of the most thought provoking and heart wrenching romances ever put to film, made by one of the world's most fascinating artists.

This week we're taking down The Man with ERIN BROCKOVICH (#1 on the board), a Stephen Soderbergh film, starring Julia Roberts giving what some consider to be among the greatest performances of all time. A breezy watch for a rainy day. For anyone who was begging us to cover something more modern and straightforward, here's your episode!

This week, we dig into one of the all-time great debut directorial efforts, BOUND (#10 on the board). Lana and Lilly Wachowski show us a glimpse of what they are capable of, right before they go off to make one of the greatest films of all time, THE MATRIX (1999). Don't dismiss this as "just the one before THE MATRIX" like we did for too long. This would be the best film in most other filmmaker's careers.

This week we're picking wildflowers with Spencer Tracy, as we cover John Sturges' incredible film BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (#7 on the board). A perfect 90 minute thriller that holds up completely.

Its time to knock off a "we'll get to it one day" flick... this week we hit #3 so its Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, SEVEN SAMURAI (#3 on the board). One of the most influential war epics of all time, this one might take two separate viewings to finish, but its well worth your time.

Our ULTIMATE shamer, this week we landed on E.T. The Extraterrestrial (#7 on the board), an all time great that, shockingly, neither Drew nor Jared had seen before this episode. A warm blanket of a film that lives up to every bit of hype.

We lived a few weeks while we loved this movie... its IN A LONELY PLACE (#1 on the board), directed by Nicholas Ray, and starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Don't be scared by the black and white film stock, this one is timeless.

Get out your notepads folks, this week we're digging into ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (#14 on the board). Directed by Alan J. Pakula, starring Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, and Jason "Big Dog" Robards. This one is a ton of fun, if you love movies like SPOTLIGHT (2015) or ZODIAC (2007), or if you're into true crime, politics, or journalism, we think you'll really dig this one.

Surprise! This week you get an extra episode, as - in a real show of our amateurism - SLING BLADE (#10 on the board) was unavailable to rent on any digital service anywhere. Thankfully Jared found a physical copy. This is a weird one folks.
