But no no twenty nineteen still. 'Cause we talked about it already. Yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah. And Star Wars, all the Star Wars are gone. All of Well, there's only three there's only th the original three are on the the top two fifty list, but 'cause it's be and you're saying because you took Star Wars. I took a Star Wars last time, so I'm saying Henry said I couldn't take any of them. No, I I said if he wanted to, he could take one of the other movies. He said I said just no, I'll just leave them off. But yeah, we we wanna be we want to give you guys some diversity. We don't want to keep talking about the same movies over and over. And I know that I know I said this in one of the other ones, but like if we could draft Christopher Nolan movies every time. My whole team would be Christopher Nolan. Or if I could draft a Spider Verse movie, like I would always be drafting those. So we want to give we want to give you some new new movies. Hopefully, you guys will a add these to your watch list or maybe you've already seen and you guys can agree with us on how good our tastes are in movies. But yeah, I think Let's get into it. Rock, paper, scissors. Three two. Yeah, three to two. Good guys. Good guys are up three to two. all right, here we go. let's go. Let's go. All right. Let's go. Tied three to three in the rock, paper, scissors. Back and forth, man. And the the draft. So as of the time we were recording this, there are four posted on her Instagram. You are winning three to one in the fan votes. On the drafts? Yeah. And there three of three of the drafts are like Dude, they're really fifty one forty nine I think two of are fifty one forty nine and the other one's like fifty two forty eight. So if you haven't voted, go vote. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah. And then the Christopher Nolan one I'm like destroying smoked me. Did smoke me. Cumulatively, like who has more vote like, you know. Yeah, let's not get into it. But all right, first pick. Twelve angry men. I knew you were going for that one. Give twelve angry men at the at the one one. Such a banger. You got Dude, what are you gonna do? What is your first pick? Addison guessed your first pick. I Yep. Addison doesn't even know the movies that are on the IMDB top two fifty. She is she's currently downstairs and before the episode she goes, Hey, I want to guess what your first pick's gonna be. And I said, Well don't don't yell it because I don't want Andrew to know. I go down there And again, she doesn't know what's on the list. She whispers, and I can confirm she got it right because with my first pick I'm taking Michael Mann's heat. One of the best action movies I've ever seen. One of the best crime thrillers I've ever seen. Two of the best actors of all time, Robert De Niro, El Pacino, playing a little cat and mouse. I love that movie a ton. Dang. So that's my first pick. What about your second pick? Well, first, what it I have logged it on Letterboxd, but what are your thoughts on Heat? Yeah, I love Heat. Okay. Yeah. 'Cause I I remember I watched it I don't know, sometime in like the winter or something, like during the school year and I'd asked you if you watched it and you said yeah and you really liked it. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, it's kinda like It's yeah, it's just really good. I r I really don't have a lot more to say about I love action movies. Yeah. So it's like right up my alley. and I d I don't know how I feel about Heat 2. I'm excited for Heat 2. Yeah, I just I don't know. I get it. But all right. But yeah, whatever. I love it. It's good it's a great movie. All right. your second pick. With my second pick, man. This is hard. I knew I wanted to go heat. I also knew I wanted twelve angry men, which you took. And I knew you were I knew that. I knew you you were gonna want that too. With my second pick, I'm gonna take Shaw Shank Redemption. Ooh. Yeah, I mean, hey, it's the number one. Yep. It's a good pick. All right. I am gonna take It's a Wonderful Life. dang it. I was gonna take that, but I didn't know I didn't even Yes Gosh dang it. Come on. That's such a banger, dude. That's probably like my second favorite movie on the whole list behind Heat. But I just thought me too. it's so good. That hurts. Is that do you watch that every year? Probably like three times during Christmas. Yeah. Yep. Like me too. It's so good. We f we my family watches it every year on Christmas Eve and I probably watch it once. That's a great Christmas Eve. Yeah. All right. I'm gonna take a movie that we watch my family watches as every Christmas Eve again. Santa Claus. I'm just kidding. I would take Santa Claus too if it's on this list, but it's not. There's a reason it's not on this list. Yeah, whatever. No, I'm gonna take Yeah, I'll take Fight Club. Okay. I'm taking Fight Club. That's all right. I d I like Fight Club, but I don't I don't like absolutely love it. Okay. crap. It's wonderful. You kinda threw a wrench into my plan here. Alright, I'm gonna take Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. It's really close. I think for sure the second one's my least favorite. But the first and the third one are really, really close. But I'll take Return of the King. And then this is probably as recent as I'll go on this list here. That's Top Gun Maverick. Ooh. Great Vic. What what what is it ranked on the list, you know? I don't know. I feel like it's like seventies, like it's I'll I'll look. Maybe not. All right, so you have you have two two picks to round out the draft for ya. For sure. With my fourth pick, I'm gonna take Raiders of the Lost Ark. I w okay. Yeah. Okay. Those are yeah, I mean, I figured you probably wouldn't take it. I don't know. What what are your thoughts about? You've seen you saw it a long time ago, right? I just rewatched it this summer. I gave it a four star. Like I really liked it. Okay. But I have plenty of five stars above it. Yeah, left to left to pick. Not definitely not a knock on Raiders of the List. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. Okay, Top Gun Maverick is one fifty three. Okay. Okay, 'cause you're scrolling. Yeah, I'm scrolling. this is what I was gonna pick up my fifth pick. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Okay, that's totally fine. I do not like that movie at all. What? My house tried to watch that in college and Nobody liked it. No, it was funny 'cause two of my roommates loved it and were dying laughing at the whole thing. Me and my other roommate were like, What is this? Yes, that's exactly what you should be asking when you're watching it. So I d I know my dad and my brother really like it too. So I think I'm just missing the boat. I didn't want is the Princess Bride on this list? I don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna slap myself if it is. I will I'll give you time to you would have to take it. You would have to take it instead of No I didn't. What? Never mind, sorry. Sound of music. take sound of music. No, didn't I already draft that with something? No, you tried to take it in biopic and I threw the whatever, it's all it's gone. No, how is Princess Bride not on this list? It's not? That's blasphemous. I've never seen it. What dude, you gotta I know I do. I know I do. We need to do a week where like like the movies that I haven't seen that you gotta watch. Yeah. Yeah, we talked we talked about that a while ago. That's right. Yeah, so I'm gonna take Money Python and the Holy Grail. Okay, you're not taking sound of music. Are you sure? Positive. I got enough old movies. Okay. Crap. So you're gonna take the sound of music? No. What are you thinking about? I don't got any picks. All right. Man, there's a lot a lot of bangers. A lot of bangers. I just have one pick, right? What do you d what are you d what are you trying to decide between? Like six movies. Okay, what are they? Seven. And Glorious Bastards. Shuttered Island Prisoners Jaws. Damn. I have Sangin in the Rain, Whiplash, Pirates of the King. Okay, I gotta draw a line somewhere. It's realistically between Seven Bastards and Shutter Island, probably. And I'm gonna take seven because it's right here. I I figured you were gonna take that. so seven is rounding up my lineup. My team, I have I got Heat, Shawshank Redemption, Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, Top Gun Maverick, and Seven. And I've got twelve Angry Men, it's a wonderful life, Fight Club, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and That's a good draft. Great draft. I mean, obviously, these are some of the highest rated movies of all time. So some bangers. A lot of left off ones. Yeah. A lot of great ones we couldn't draft. Yeah, that is true. Okay, so I kinda already said some, but the others I had in my list, I had Spirited Away, The Departed, Whiplash, Wally, Inglorious Bastards, Infinity War. Mm-hmm. Singin in the Rain, Shutter Island, Prisoners, Fargo, Jaws, and Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl. A bunch of those I would say too. I had or the ones other ones I was kind of debating with my last pick were Iron Giant, Sound of Music, yeah, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Rocky. Yeah. Some of those ones are just really high up there. Yeah. for me. yeah, and when while preparing for this, I think we kind of surprised ourselves. I've seen ninety-two of the two fifty and you've seen eighty seven. Yeah. So which was a lot more than I thought. Me too. but still a ways to go. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta start chugging down the list. Yeah. I might hit the Godfather at some point this week. Really? Yeah. I didn't love the first one, but I I've heard the second one's better. Yeah. Psych one's really long though. And it it it insists upon itself. That's what I've heard. The second one or the first one? The first one. because Family Guy, right? Yes. Yes. I got there. I knew I heard that. So good. It kinda does. I'm kinda with I'm kinda with Peter on that. He's he brings up some good points. Yeah. I definitely gotta watch the psycho one though. Yeah.
