You've seen him on the watch. You've seen him in a bunch of Ringer properties. Sean Fentacy. Hi. Host of the Big Picture. Mystery project. I just told you to show up. I didn't tell you what it was about. No computers, no notes. So what did you think this was?

There's always the possibility of a surprise guest with you. You sometimes dangle a surprise guest.

You were worried about Chalamet.

Chalamet is in England as far as I know. So I was pretty certain he wasn't going to be here. Also, if Tim Chalamet came on the show, I think you'd keep him all to yourself. You guys have a lot to talk about.

Who knows? I'm a pretty generous guy.

And then the other possibility I was considering was doing a Rewatchables blind, not knowing what we were going to do.

We've always talked about it. It's been almost exactly 10 years since we did Heat in my little pool house.

Or a Rewatchables mailbag.

Really good guess. What do you think, Sean?

I thought you were shooting a porn here, and you wanted us to see how it works. I've never been on a porn set, so I thought that would have been exciting.

You wanted me to start Heated Rivalry?

Pod Studio, Heated Rivalry podcast.

I honestly have no idea. You mentioned this when we were here with Cameron Crowe last week. You were I got something I want to do with you. Can you stick around afterwards? And then we ran long. It didn't work out.

That was a different idea. Okay. Yeah, this one needed CR.

The last idea I had was merch haul. That you had some merchandise haul that you wanted to show off and unbox or something.

Merch haul? Unboxing.

Like an eBay haul or maybe some physical media, something like that.

None of those are the answers.

Five-year Oscars?

No. Okay. So Sean did the 25 for 25. Oh, It's almost done.

Okay. Yes. How many are left? Two more.

Two more. Number two and number one. What was number three?

Number three was 25th hour. Very controversial.

That it was that high? Yes.

But one of my favorite movies of all time.

I know. You weren't on the rewatchables for it, which was Wasn't intentional. I don't remember why that happened.

Who was on the rewatch? I don't remember.

I don't remember anything we've done.

I think it was Wesley.

I put a lot of thought in this. I made a list. I moved stuff around. I went crazy. My 50 most rewatchable movies of the 21st century. Wow. Okay. I'm going to tackle them from 50 to 1. And most important, they're just mine. This is my list.

I have a million questions. First question, how many of them have appeared on the show already?

Probably somewhere between 80 and 85%. Okay.

That's cool.

I'll give you some caveats. I was thinking about the movies I've rewatched the most since 2000, right? Or 2001 because the 21st century starts in 2001.

We fudge that, but yeah.

Did you fudge it? Yeah. Did you use the 2000 movie?

I think we had one 2000 movie, but I forgot what it is. I know. I've heard this.

It belongs to the last century. You're right.

We should have done it in 2024, but whatever.

So one of my things is no 2000 movies. Okay. Belong to the last century. So you don't get Castaway, you don't get Almost Famous, you don't get Gladiator, you don't get Remember the Titans. A whole bunch of them we don't get. I thought with the whole movies I've watched the most or wanted to watch the most or jumped into the most, there's a nebulous thing with my wife, who I've been dating and then married, but we've been together since 1998. There's movies she's watched that have been on, but I wasn't necessarily watching them. So I'm going to rule out the holiday.

Okay. One of the worst movies of the century.

That movie's been on all the time in my house. And Love, Actually, is another one. Basically, all the Nancy Meyers movies. My wife's watching those. I'm jumping in and out, but I'm Those aren't my choices.

So in case there was a Nielsen audit of what is actually played in the Simmons house the most, you're just saying- People would be like, Where's the holiday?

It should be eight.

Wife had the holiday up on the big screen. You have Pacer's Bucks on the little screen.

There's sometimes when you're the offensive coordinator, but then the head coach says, I'm going to call the fourth quarter here. That's a whole genre of movies.

I didn't include them. You're saying in these scenarios, your wife is Dan Campbell. This is me.

This is me, what the heart wants, what the heart wants. I watched this three weeks ago. I can't believe I'm watching this again. I haven't seen this in nine months. It's time.

This is the CR, by the way. Cr famous for... He goes to a restaurant, he and his wife. They love it. Then three days later, they just go back.

They're like, I want to keep going. He gets the exact same. Yeah.

They had a great experience. It's usually an atmosphere thing. It's a feeling. It's not necessarily the meal.

I left out Documentaries. I don't know if that's fair or unfair.

We did the same thing.

We didn't do any docs. I just think that's a different argument. I left out a couple of my son's favorite movies that I've watched a ton of times with them, but that were always his choice or him trying to watch it. I want to give a shout out to Mid '90s, his favorite movie of all time. And Big Time Adolescence, his other favorite movie of all time that I would not have on this list. There are other ones that we've watched together a bunch of times, but those are always his choices.

I would love to know Ben's Letterboxd 4.

Are there any other movies on your list that are streaming first, like Big Time Adolescence was? Because then that movie goes straight to Peacock.

There's a couple on the list, but this is my last caveat. It's tougher for the newer ones. I found as I made the list, I was favoring stuff from 2001 through 2010. In the 2010s. So once upon a time in Hollywood, that movie came out right before COVID. I don't feel like I've spent enough time with it yet, and I thought it would have been disingenuous to put it on. Even though I want I feel like 10 years from now, it will be on there. But compared to the other ones I have on this list-So you basically have nothing after '19? No, I have a couple in there from after '19.

In my mind, I'm starting to generate ideas here. Yeah, I bet.

Yeah. Okay. So that's it. That's everything I've laid out, and I made a list of 50. Okay. And I was just going to go 50 to one, and we could just talk quickly about each one. Or I could just keep going. But you could basically whammy, stop.

Well, why is Zoe's not represented in the caveats?

It actually is with a couple of these, but Zoe's on a whole other level. She's watching entire Grey's Anatomy start to finish. She's watching all those- She's more of a TV person. Summer I Turned Pretty. Yeah, she's way more a TV than the movie.

Zoe on the Watch is what you're saying.

Well, then the movies she's watching are the stuff where somebody meets in high school and the guy dies, but then his angel still goes into somebody else's body. All that stuff.

Got it. Okay.

All right, here we go.

I want to hear more about the movie with the guy where he's an angel.

I just made that up. Yeah, I should trademark that right now.

What's regretting you about? Are they angels or are they just-In what movie? Regretting you?

It's not angels.

Oh, so we watched that over Thanksgiving break when Zoe was here. That movie did not make the list.

Truly deranged movie. Like a movie that doesn't realize how funny it is.

Oh, we realized it immediately. We made jokes and laughed all. Do you know the premise of that movie?

Isn't it like two people's partners die in a car accident and the two people sort through their feelings about them.

The other two. But they were always in love.

There's a lot of parental who's the real daddy stuff going on in it, too.

Like paternity stuff? Yeah.

That's cool. It's another Dave Franco. I'm not sure how this quite happened career-wise. But then on top of it, it's Allison Williams, Season Tickets. I'm just always going to support her.

I feel the exact same way. I really enjoy her as well.

Really enjoy her. Would love to see her on a nice It's a little Prestige something.

Yeah.

Because she had been Shiv Roy having her kid kidnapped on Peacock. I feel like she could have.

She should at least been like Shiv Roy's best friend on All Her Fall.

Did you both watch that show?

I watched the first one.

The first episode?

Yeah, and my wife burned through it. Okay.

You watched all of it.

Banged through it. If it's kidnapping, I'm there. I don't even need to know anything else.

You really settled into a trash prestige zone. You love Beast of Me, All Her Fall.

But Beast of Me is better than All Our Fall. Yes. My sweet spot is if it's a prestige TV show that I don't really totally have to watch as I'm watching it. Okay. I'm like half watching it. Pluribus, I heard there's cannibalism. I might be back. I only saw the first one.

Kind of.

I will comment on that.

How's Snook doing these days? I've missed her.

I think we found out there weren't a lot of outpitches other than the splitter.

I But it's a nasty splitter, though.

Really good splitter. Great bite on that pitch. But I'm not sure there's other- She would be great as the third starter on the Dodgers, but maybe not the ace of the pirates thing. Yeah. She needs to develop- Maybe even the number 5 starter on the Dodgers.

It's never too late to develop a Changeup. That's something that I like to say.

We'll see with her. All right, here we go.

I think she's great.

My top 50, going down from 50 to 1. Number 50, Just Go With It. Adam Sandler.

This is a Simmons family classic.

Jennifer Aniston. There's a Nicole Kidman. Who's Dave Matthews? They have a cameo. You get to go to Hawaii. This was a big movie for us during COVID when everybody was trapped.

This is the one that's a mystery?

No. Oh, no. No. He works. I think he runs a sports store or he's a plastic surgeon. I can't remember his job, but Jennifer Aniston works for him.

He either runs a sports store or he's a plastic The thing is, I've seen this movie 30 times, and he's dating Brooklyn Decker. Yes, that's what this movie is best known for.

They're about to get married, but Anastin goes on the vacation with him, and then he's starting to realize he might have feelings for her and not Brooklyn Decker, and hijacked jinks and misunderstandings ensue, but we're in Hawaii the whole time. This movie has just delivered the goods for the Simmons family ever since it came out.

Memorable sequence where Brooklyn Decker is emerging from the ocean. I recall that. Wearing a bikini.

Number 49, 49. About to already get controversial.

Can I ask you just a quick question between 50 and 49? Any metrics applied to this stuff? Was there any number of rewatches?

No. It just mentally, how many times I've dived in? Do I own it? Is it something my wife and I like equally? Those things, which brings us to '49. A lot like love with Amanda Pete and Ashton Kutcher. This movie came out 21 years ago. It's the best work Ashton Kutcher has ever done. It is a great answer for the... If you had Amanda Pete season tickets, why wasn't she Julie Roberts, basically?

I feel like this movie came out in 1998. Did it really come out in 2004?

The music is exceptional. It's exceptionally rewatchable, and my wife loves it. It's one of those ones where my wife loves it, but I always jump in when she's watching.

A lot like love. A lot like love. I saw this in movie theaters, but I could have sworn I saw it in high school on a date. I guess not.

It's really good. I don't think I've ever seen this. It's really good. I did see Amanda P. At a sushi restaurant the other week and fully did the Alonso Morning gif where I was just like, We still got it.

So first two have not appeared on the rewatchables.

They have not. A lot like love is on some list. You're circling it. One thing with a lot like love that I like, I like the structure in general, especially for rewatchables, is the characters aging over the years and running into each other three, four years later. I just think sucks me in every time from a rewatchable standpoint. Wearing different wigs. There's a Kutcher discussion for this movie.

Of what he left on the table?

He's really good in this movie. I'm telling you, I would defend Ashton Kutcher in this movie to death. My wife, it's one of her favorite why didn't he have a bigger career actor, even though I guess she would say he did have a big career.

I mean, isn't the big sliding door? I wonder. I mean, I didn't know. The Cameron Crow movie. It's Elisabeth Town, right?

Top five performances by Kutcher right now. Let's do it. Number five, The Guardian with Kevin Costner. Number four, what's that movie where he seduces Anne Heysh? What's it called? It's not Split.

I'm honestly struggling to think of this.

Yeah, I can't think of five Ashton Kutcher movies.

I can't think of five Ashton Kutcher movies. I mean, he was on The Ranch for five, six years. He was on 70 show.

He did one of those best friend, Fall in Love movies where it was him and Mila Kunis or him with somebody like Mila Kunis. Friends with benefits. Yeah, it was one of those.

No Strings Attached. No Strings Attached. Directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Natalie Portman. He's not bad in that.

It's not bad. That's probably his second best movie ever.

What about his portrayal of Steve Jobs in the movie Steve Jobs?

Got nuked off the face of the Earth.

By the other jobs movie.

A lot like love is interesting because it spans. He's in the tech boom in the early 2000s, and it feels like he's going to have this awesome company, and then it doesn't work out. Then him and Amanda Pete, they keep running into each other, and then near the end, they realize they're in love. It's a good rom-com.

Is this Kutcher's last appearance on the list?

Yeah. Number 48, Knocked Up.

Oh, yeah, great. Knocked Up is 48.

Yeah, 48.

A lot like Love and Knocked Up.

Or just like this. My issue with this movie is it's too long and I don't like the last half hour, but I really like the first hour. There's a couple of movies on this list where from a rewatchable standpoint-When it first starts and he's with all his friends and stuff like that. It's like great first hour. I love everything. Leslie Mann's Insane in it. There's some really good friend stuff. There's some classic like Appetow stuff. It's young Seth Rogen. Higal probably peak of her powers, whatever powers those were.

The floor is yours.

Huge fan. Huge fan of her as Izzy on Grey's Anatomy and in this movie.

This movie really falls apart, but from a rewatchable standpoint. I can't remember. Did we do it? When does it fall apart? We did it on the last 25 minutes.

When he puts it all back together.

They're having a kid. We did it on rewatchable.

Everything also that takes place at E, where Katherine Heigl works is really funny. All that stuff is great.

It's a good movie. See, we've had 25 years. I mean, it's knocked up 48, but we've had a lot of movies. Number 47, Flight. We've done this on rewatchables. It's hilarious that it's so rewatchable, but it really is. We covered all the reasons when we did the podcast about it.

I feel like Denzel's house hearing is becoming more and more... Or his NTSB hearing is becoming more and more of a meme these days. It's just like when they ask me…

The scene where-When they ask Lane Kiffin, where he's been in the last two weeks. When he breaks into the mini fridge in the hotel and feel an all right hits, that was me when all the Mets news was happening. I was like, Where's the fucking vodka.

I was thinking one of the things with rewatchables with this. By the way, I have no notes other than the list. I don't know why I keep looking at it on my iPad. A big signature event that Castaway has this, sadly not on the list, but it's like the plane crash is coming. I want to watch this. Flight has the, oh, we're about to... Denzel is about to try to fly this plane drunk. I think I'm going to be in for the next 15 minutes, and then you just get sucked in.

One of my favorite trailers, just because it's mostly the crash with Feel An All Right and Give Me Shelter, which is just the most bonehead music selections ever. At this point, also, I would love to get a supplemental list going of Most rewatched scenes on YouTube from this group of movies. Oh, that's interesting. I think the flight, Playing Crash, would go pretty high for me on this.

I'm going to guess there are two more Denzel movies on the list.

There's more than that. I'll take the over. Wow. Including the next movie, number 46, The Equalizer. Wow. Yeah. This is really fun. Just a textbook rewatchable. Yeah. Textbook.

Do you think there's more than one equalizer on this list? Yeah.

I prefer Equalizer 3. That's my favorite of the three.

I know. The great thing about the Equalizer franchise, it's not like the Taken franchise where Taken 1 is clearly best, two is second best, and then three is like, all right, fine. Equalizer. There are people who are like, E3 is my one.

E3 is Italy, right?

E3 is Italy. It looks great. He's retired and become a pasta maker. It's fucking ridiculous.

Pedro Pascal is Equalizer 2, right? Two, yeah.

Really good movie. Wish they just made more movies like The Equalizer. I just feel like we could be banging these out with any male action star we have. I don't know what we're doing wrong.

It's his John Wick, right? The only real physical activity he has to do is just quickly grab a gun away from a guy. He doesn't have to punch and kick people anymore. He just needs to shoot you in the face.

What do we have in this movie? Is it Albanians?

Equalizer One?

Equalizer One, it's somebody.

Isn't it not the Russian mob?

Maybe it's just Russians.

Because he goes and fucks all those guys up in the beginning and they're like, Oh, my God, you know who you just messed with? And he's just like, I don't care.

First sports movie, number 45, Miracle.

What year is that?

2004, range.

We did do this on rewatchables.

We did do that one. Yeah. Really good movie. Has some good jump in things. Has some good throw down in the background moments. Some good speeches. Yeah.

Russell is awesome in this movie. Some good Russell.

Fun to relive us beating the Russians. Number 44, a movie we have not done on rewatchables. Or at.

Holds up. Rewatch it during COVID.

Some really fun stretches from a rewatchable standpoint.

Some of the hardest I've ever laughed in my life.

Really, really, really good. It's almost 20 Do you go back to it? This could be next year. Do you go back to it? Yeah, I go back to sections of it. I really like when he shows up in New York and he's watching TV and he's just falls in love with Pamela Anderson. There's just some really deeply funny shit.

You I like the wrestling scene in the hotel room. I do. Yeah.

Great job by Azamat. Another comedy, number 43, Wedding Crashers.

Yeah.

I would imagine Wedding Crashers would have been a little higher.

So really, really strong first hour. Yes. It's another one where it's like, first hour, wow, I'm in. And then you don't care if you finish it. But some great ones.

You don't like it when comedies get sad.

No, it's just sometimes they shoot their wad in the first five innings.

I mean, the opening 10 minutes of this movie is about as ecstatic as you can get.

The negotiation with Dwight Yokem and then into the montage.

With Demourne.

It's aged in a really interesting way.

Shut your mouth when you're talking to me.

It's aged well because of Bradley Cooper. It's just funny to see him not knowing he's going to be famous yet. But then also, what's his face? I'm blanking.

Christopher Walkin.

No, What's the name of the guy who plays the Range Brother?

Will Farrell?

No, he's the one- The younger guy. The younger brother, whatever that guy's name is. I can't remember his name.

The one who does the painting?

He was my worst case scenario for Ben. You were like, that Todd or the Todd? Todd. Todd. My worst case scenario for Ben for a long time. The touch football scene was great.

I just think at that moment in time, Vawn and Noah Wilson had something special chemistry-wise. They I tried to recreate it in movies after that, and they couldn't ever get back to that specifically. But they were so great together.

It's really fun time. It's interesting to hear them talk about it and be like, They won't let us make an R-rated movie, basically. It's just like, you guys…

You just want to watch Vince Vawn grab Jane Seymour's breasts again. That's something that's important to you.

Jane Seymour. Number 42, Wolf of Wall Street. It's very long, but from a rewatchable standpoint, hopping in the sections really works with this movie. Yeah.

No scene is too long. That's part of the reason why I love it so much. It doesn't feel long to me because it moves really fast. Yeah.

Number 41, Sicario.

Forty-one? Are you going to talk about it? What are you going to do? You talk about it.

I'm not going to talk about it.

I'm not going to talk about it because I'm saving it for the pot.

I'll talk about it if you want. It's a film directed by Deneuve Villeneuve. It's about narco-terrorism and the way that the US government is encroaching upon its own jurisdictions in Mexico. Josh Brolin.

Has a lot of my favorite people in it.

You know, Benicio Del Toro.

Really good Emily Blunt performance.

Emily Blunt. Yeah. Bernthal.

Yeah.

Bernthal. Sure.

Solid movie. We might have to do it at some point in the rewatchables.

You didn't react to me. I sent Sean the same clip, the clip of Bernthal talking to Shia LaBeouh. Oh, I loved it. We're at Home Depot.

The poetry of me.

Not the poetry of you. I'm talking about the poetry of me. You really think you could work at Home Depot?

Is that something you think you could do? He's like, I'm there all the time. I'm there all the time. I love it.

All right, we'll take a break and then we'll do the top 40. All right, top 40. Number 40, Collateral.

Yeah.

A movie that I saw in the theater at the Grove in LA and really enjoyed it. Never thought it would be a movie I watched multiple, multiple times over the next 20 years. Yes. But there's I think because we live here, that helps. Evil Cruise. Fox is really good. Figuring out some of the stuff Michael Mann always fucks up about LA, about how easy it is to get from there to there.

Careful, he just agrees with you.

I know, he does. But this one has aged really nicely.

The guy who shot this is shooting Heat, too, which is apparently going into production next summer.

We didn't do this on 25 or 25, but maybe I made a mistake on that. This is like really- Did you do a Michael Mann? No. This is high up there on my list. Fucking Insider. Yeah. Thief and Heat are always one, too, for me. But this, Manhunter and Insider are in a death match for three. I love this movie.

I know this isn't your last Michael Mann on this list.

It's definitely not. I think from a rewatchable standpoint, we already did this one, but there's just a couple of great scenes. That scene when he goes- Hey, homie, is that my briefcase? The jazz club scene. Incredible. When that guy realizes that Cruise is what's going I'm like, I don't know.

Did we see this together or no? I don't think so.

What year did this come out?

'05, '06. I'm going to say 05.

Right around when we met.

We saw Miami Vice together. I don't know if we saw Collateral together.

But I remember Chris being like, When I grow up, I want to be Pete Berg and Mark Ruffalo in this movie. He wanted his whole personality to be those guys.

I did a task panel talk recently, and I was like, I didn't even have a question. I was like, Mark Ruffalo, you were in Collateral. He was like, Yeah, man. Cool. I was like, You had that goatee, right? And he was just like, Yeah.

You're trying to find that guy? Number 39, Mean Girls.

Yeah. Good call. Very good.

Good family movie. Really good movie. Lindsay Lohan is just great in it.

You've done this on the rewatchables.

We did it pretty early. We might have to redo it.

Yeah, really funny movie. Did you see the musical? The musical remake?

I didn't like the musical as much. I think one good thing with Mean Girls, it's good from beginning to end. The whole movie is really good. It has the classic arcs of all the '80s teen things where it's like, Oh, popularity went to her head. Now she's got to find herself again. But it's just really smart. Tim Meadows is really good in it.

Hilarious, yeah.

Tina Faye is good. Scripps good. The whole thing is good. Big win.

It's one of the few 21st century comedies that reminds me a lot of the John Hughes movies or the Vacation movies, where it's like this movie is just eternal. The idea of it is never going to expire. Going into high school is really hard and really hard on girls. I think about this all the time with my daughter. It's like that movie is just going to be around for another 100 years.

It's one of the rare movies on this list that my wife, my daughter, and me all equally. Does Ben like it? He's probably watched it once. He's like, It's fine. Number 38, Man on Fire. Okay.

Two Denzals. Three Denzels.

We're up to three already.

First Tony Scott.

This is a weird one because some people don't like this movie, and I just want to fight them. Who doesn't like this movie? Just some people are like, Too long. Tony Scott, a little over the top. Even when we did it, I didn't feel like there was enough excitement that we did it on rewatching.

Oh, yeah, because I feel like you were like, We finally arrived. We're here.

I was like, This might be my favorite Denzel performance. People were like, Don't say that. That's crazy. I'm like, I'm going to say it. Is his name?

John Creasey?

Yeah, he paints his masterpiece.

Really great child actress performance by Dakota, too.

She's just awesome. Loops back around for Equalizer 3, right? Yeah.

I think this one's aged really nicely. I love everything about this movie. You can jump in at any point and you're good to go.

Tony Scott, one of his most stylish flex movies where he's just doing all this stuff where you're like, I don't really even know why you're switching film stocks here and reversing the film and then going forward.

Last Tony Scott movie? On this list?

I bet not.

Can't remember. We'll see how it goes. Number 37, Top Gun Maverick.

Way lower than... I thought it would be way higher.

I don't have enough time with it. I've only had a few runs with it. I don't feel like compared to some of the other older ones on this list, it can hang. But I think for the last... When did it come out? '21? '22. '22. I think for this decade, it might be the one I've seen the most.

Would you say this is the best hype to release to… This is the best movie experience so far of the decade?

From beginning, middle, end of when we heard about it? Yeah. How getting ready for it to come out, then it came out.

Dude's fucking saluting the screen when the credits are rolling.

I think culturally, more broadly, for sure. It is the movie that is considered to have brought back movies, and everybody had so much fun with it. It's also a movie that everybody was like, Yeah, I saw it three times. That was normal to go see it three times because people love the feeling of it. It's also just really well made, really well. It is a cut above of even the best of those kinds of movies, and that's one of the reasons why I think it's going to persist for a while.

Speaking of most YouTube scenes, I probably watch from Jon Ham go and send him. To Maverick blowing up. That 10-minute stretch is perfect. It's so good.

My favorite rewatchable scene, though, is obviously the love scene with him and Jennifer Connolly. Yes. It's just the height of comedy. After sailing. The absolute height of the funiest stuff.

No, they were telling really good jokes, but it was all off screen.

The funiest minute of Cruise's career.

It was just like a Nathan for You episode in the middle of that.

See, our and I, we did this for a rewatchable during everyone stay away from each other COVID times. We came over and we did it in my little pool house, but we were as far apart as possible doing it. That's how important it was to do it.

Did you guys give each other COVID?

I didn't get in until I went to England.

That's 37. Number 36, Lost in Translation.

Hey. Also been on the show.

Also been on the show. Favorite Bill Murray of the past probably 30 years.

Where are you at on Bill Murray these days? Underrated, overrated? Are you related to caught in the slipstream of controversy?

I think he's properly rated. Okay.

Did you watch the John Candy documentary?

I did.

I thought that was interesting. I guess I don't associate Bill Murray with John Candy for some reason.

It feels like all those people were overlapping with all these different ways.

There are tons of crossover.

Did they ever make a movie together?

They did. What was the movie?

Somewhere in the '80s, they made something together.

Gosh, what movie did they make together?

For Lost in Translation, really- Stripes. Stripes. Thank you. Oh, yeah, that's right. He was Zox. I was just blanking. I like going to another country for a rewatchable. I've never been in Japan. Which is fun to go. You think you'll go? No. Scarlett Johansson's great. I went to this movie. I didn't need to go. That's why you're the best. Scarlett Johansson's fantastic. I like the music in this movie. I like the way it moves. I like the ending. It hits all the checkpoints. We're starting to get into some really good ones.

So is there three more Sofias on the list or two more? Blingering.

Oh, somewhere. There's zero.

What's the one where everybody makes love to all the women want to be with... Was it Colin Farrell?

Oh, the Beguiled? Yeah. Yeah, the Beguiled. No? Didn't make the list.

Number 35. A movie we have not done on the rewatchables. Garden State.

Okay. Garden State above some films there.

What do you mean?

What's that supposed to be? Knowing what I know about you, I would think that, say...

You thought it would have been higher on the list?

I thought it would be closer to the high 40s if it would be in here.

Really like the music.

Yeah.

My wife loves this movie, and I always get sucked in when she wants to watch it. I really like Zack Braff in this movie. It's just a weird... Really, I think all of us have a complicated relationship with Zack Braff, but I think he's perfect for this movie. It's pretty straightforward.

Yeah, he's fine.

Yeah, but he's perfect for this movie, and I'm not really sure why.

I want to love you, but you make too many T-Mobile commercials.

I think the concept of somebody whose life sucks going home and they're a hero It's always… Even though they shouldn't be. It always works. Undefeated.

Undefeated.

I think Scarsgard is amazing in this movie as the funeral guy. I think the music is just great. Honestly, it's a little like a lot like love where it's just a fun hang.

I feel like the movie was overrated upon release and is now underrated. It's gone through the take cycle where people are like, Oh, Garden State, and they roll their eyes. I think that that's unfair, too. It's a very sincere, thoughtful movie. It is a little cliché. It is a little like I'm making my version of the graduate, but it's enjoyable.

Portman's really good. Number 34, Black Hat.

Wow. Wow.

I can't apologize. The heart wants what the heart wants. We did it when we talked about the pod. There's the first five times we're trying to figure out what's happening, and then the next five where you know what's happening and it all unlocks and makes sense.

They're going to have a shootout in this nuclear reactor.

Yeah. We get to go to China at one point. Or wherever. Where's the ending? Somewhere in Asia?

No, isn't it all in Singapore or something like that?

Singapore, wherever we are.

The nuclear meltdown is in China.

Mike Ban. It's an incoherent failure. I don't know what else to say. It's an awesome movie.

See, this is… We didn't have to listen.

I've been teasing Chris about this movie. I knew for this movie for 10 years. You haven't watched it properly.

You didn't watch it properly? Yeah, on Ludes. The FX version, the director's cut.

With lots of commercials. I can take a break and read up on what is actually transpiring in the film's plot.

I'm not going to apologize for this one either. Number 33, proof of life.

Stuff of Legends.

Just watched it three weeks ago. Stuff of Legends. I actually think that this movie, we did it for rewatchables, but I actually think this movie is so much better than people realized it was. I will die thinking that.

We were just talking about Cusack a bunch for high fidelity. If I had told you in 1999 that nick Cage, John Cusack, and Russell Crowe will each be making six direct to video movies a year, how do you think you would process that?

It would be really hard to accept. Crowe would have been the most shocking. Crowe would have been stunning. Although Crow having a little moment here. Nuremberg is doing pretty well at the box office. I'm not the Nuremberg trials. Those were some. That was 80 years ago, Chris.

That did not do well. That was a box office flop.

It was. Proof of life, I don't even know if I've seen it. I honestly don't even know if I've seen it.

That's where he's just being a dick.

It's Tony Taylor Hackford.

Taylor Hackford.

The surest pair of hands.

Honestly, yes. Off the incredible success of the devil's advocate.

We're still not entirely sure, but we're pretty certain that Helen Mirren has heard the rewatchables because of the proof of life. You're pretty sure? Well, We know Taylor Hackford has, and she might have been in the car while he was listening.

Caruso with an all-time D. N. Waiters? I don't know if it's number one, but it's first ballot.

We could have named it the Caruso.

See, you got to give this movie a chance. Can this be your Christmas project?

To watch proof of life for the first time?

Yeah.

Yeah. Is it available on 4K?

Good question.

Probably not. Probably not.

I do have a Taylor Hackford stack at home. Dolores Clayborn, Officer and a Gentleman.

Why are you looking down your nose at proof of life then?

I feel like I started watching it on HBO once, and I was just like, this sucks, and turned it off some 25 years ago.

It's really great. It moves a bunch of good times. There's watching it, knowing that they cut the Crow, Meg Ryan love scene makes the movie make so much more sense than it probably did in the theater where it's like, what happened? Did I miss the scene? Was that in the bathroom?

On the scale of zero % to 100 %, what percentage is this movie on the list? Just because you love doing the Caruso lines.

Oh, no. I think Russell Crowe is like, I think he's genuinely great in this movie. It's also just like an awesome- Really, really great.

Hypothetical. If you you were kidnapped, would your wife fall in love with your hostage negotiator?

And also-Is that what it's about? Well, also, Phoebe negotiating for CR, and they're like, They want 700. And Meg Ryan is like, I don't know, I can get to six. You just start putting your life in context.

I'm out in the jungle looking insane. Chris Bryanty from the summer I turned pretty is trying to negotiate for my release.

This movie is awesome. It's got a great ending. It ends with an awesome band, Morris & Song. Everything about it's great.

I'm going to watch it on Christmas morning with my daughter.

This movie is a tour de force. Kidnapping. Number 32. A Star is Born. The Bradley Cooper edition. Wow. A little louder. Big fan all the way through the Simmons house, except for my son.

Quality flick. Big fan of this movie.

First hour is just great. Second hour, it gets a little sad. But I also think the Him pissing on himself at the Oscars or Grammys is now hilarious. Not hilarious in the theater, but now really funny.

Isn't it the VMAs?

No, it's the American Music Awards or something.

Just some elite Sam Elliott.

Yeah, he's bringing a similar vibe to Landman this season.

Really good. Five really good songs. Then the ending song, Lady Gaga, probably the best work of anything she's ever done.

She's incredible in the movie.

Really well done. He's a good director.

The scene when they're talking in bar in the first 30 minutes, does just chill. When the Alma Brothers song comes out, I love that shit. That's great. Cooper, I don't know what the hell is going on.

Did you think that the scene in the last Landman where Sam Elliott eats a corn dog for two minutes was a little bit strange?

I did.

How's Landman going?

There's nothing like it.

There's just nothing like it. I didn't love episode 4. It was a transition episode. Because it was too dark? Too sad. Just give me every 30 minutes, there needs to be some oil well blows up or something happens. Somebody's in danger. This is more about loss, generational trauma.

I see. That's too bad.

Number 31, I think it's going to surprise both of you. I've not done it on the rewatch whilst. Can I get Chris is having a great time. I can tell from his bottom line.

I feel like I'm learning a lot about him.

Yeah. Can I guess?

No, you won't guess it. Okay. Funny People.

Oh, yeah. We just talked about this because it's Jay Kelly and how it's underrated.

It's really underrated. I I think the first 70 minutes of this movie is probably my favorite Apotelle movie. It falls apart in the second half.

But it's entertaining.

But now, after rewatching a bunch of times, I'm okay with the second half. I've gotten to the right place.

It's the Eric Banner, Leslie Mann stuff.

But isn't there also a version of this movie that was four hours long or something?

Wasn't this-That sounds right. I don't know. I'm sure. I mean, there's always a longer cut with an Apotelle movie, right?

His kids are in it, and now Maud's famous. That part's fun from a watchable standpoint.

She directed her first movie.

The first hour of this movie is lights out. When he finds out that he doesn't have cancer and they have the party for him, that is one of the funiest six-minute scenes ever. It ends with M&M gets mad at Ray Romano. Then somebody says to him, I thought everybody loved Raymond. It's just like scene. It's just like perfect. I love this movie.

You were not a Jay Kelly guy.

Didn't like Did you see it?

I did. I was like, I have two vanilla of an opinion about this, which was like, it didn't upset me, but I didn't love it.

Okay. I think that's okay.

You liked it more than both of us.

Yeah, but didn't love it. I liked it.

I think I actually weirdly liked it way more the opening 40 minutes before he goes to Europe.

I thought you'd be more surprised by funny people. I really thought that was going to get a huge reaction.

Well, for one, of Sandman, I'm just...

That's the biggest thing. I think this is the best acting He's done in a movie. He's so good.

Him and Rogan are so good together.

I'm going to make a prediction. More Sandman than Denzel on this list.

We got two Sandmans and three Denzels.

I love when they go to the Brain Doctor guy and he talks like the diehard villain and they're just busting his balls. This movie is so good. I still don't know why they decided to do the last 35 minutes the way they did it. It's very strange. But I think the more I've watched it, I think the Leslie Mann character is a parody of just a vacant actress, where she's like, I love this guy, and then she just changes her mind and wants to get back with her husband. I think he's apt as trying to say something about actresses. Maybe don't stay away from them, even though he's married to one.

He's married to one, yeah.

He heads into a whole other interesting.

It does feel like an honest portrayal of a Los Angeles lifestyle person that we all know being out here, but I don't know if it's the most relatable aspect of a movie that is also otherwise about a very elevated class of people. They're super successful stand-up comic.

There's also some really funny stuff about his career, the movies that he made, like his hit movies where he's like, it's just his head on a baby and he's yelling at somebody. Baby boss, whatever they call them.

I haven't seen this movie in a while. I do remember movies.

Movies really good. Number 30, Get Out. It's interesting. I did not have a lot of horror/ whatever. I realized that I don't really rewatch horror movies in the same way, even though I love The Conjuring, Conjuring 2. It follows. But it's something about horror movies where you're not...

It's more of a first-time through thing. I mean, it's like...

Yeah, or maybe three 3 times?

How much of that is because the fam doesn't want to rewatch a horror movie they've seen before?

It's the thing. It's like a mood. Whereas the '70s, '80 ones are a little safer, like Ammonville or Halloween, obviously, but The Omen. Those are ones I feel like I watch way more than the newer ones. The newer ones are almost like the pot in California where it's too strong. They're not the same fun 25 times. Right.

Hereditary is not like, let's hang out and watch Hereditary and eat some candy.

It's not really- Although we did a good job making Hereditary pretty funny.

On the rewatch. I mean, that's my whole take is that it is hilarious. But the vibe is not hilarious.

That would have been for my wife and son together. Hereditary would have been top 10.

I don't necessarily think either these movies are better than Get Out. In fact, I don't think I do. But I find Nope and Us more rewarding to rewatch just because I noticed other shit.

I think they're bigger and deeper. They're not as thrilling as the first time watching Get Out where you were like, whoa, I'm at the best concert of all time.

Get Out. Really solid fun hang.

Yeah, great movie.

Just great. Really saying some stuff. Incredibly well done.

Allison Williams.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Two Allison Williams movies. I like all the actors, the fucking Catherine Keaner with their T. Number 29, Hardball.

Keanu.

I can't explain it. I don't know what to tell you.

You guys are putting some sports movies. Was it Shay?

Was it Shay? You and Shay, you did it? I did it with Van.

With Van? Okay.

G Baby Dying is one of the seminal events of the 21st century. I love Keanu, gambling and drinking and Dianne Lane falls for him anyway. There's some funny, unintentional comedy stuff. The baseball stuff works, the sports stuff works, and it's aged really well.

Do you think between this replacement and Point Break, he has a secret candidacy for one of the great sports movie actors. No question.

I was watching Any Given Sunday the other day, which is on Pluto right now. I think that movie, this doesn't count for 21st century. I was thinking, though, for next year.

I love it when he's just like, it was on- Are you in on any given Sunday?

I'm one of my faves, yeah. I love it.

Well, I think we need to redo it because we did it like first 10 movies, no video.

It's the Babylon a lot of sports movies where he's just like, I'm just putting it all in the movie. I'm just doing everything I can.

You know what I noticed? As the years pass with quick cuts and low... It actually works better for attention spans now. All of a sudden, we're back in the '50s and there's gladiators, then Jamie Fox is back again.

But so much of the stuff that seemed irresponsible at the time just basically came true.

Like the James Wood stuff?

Yeah, that movie is like, We're doing that one again. But anyway, I was thinking the rewatchable sports movies, the '90s ones are better than the 2000s. 2000s, we moved into a different era. There's a bunch of ones I like. There's a couple more on the list. I almost put the way back on this list, but I haven't been with it enough yet.

We never wind up doing that, though.

We're going to. Okay.

That was 2020.

Speaking What's the name of sports, number 28, Moneyball.

Yeah, no brainer. We did a live screening of this as part of the thing that we did in Chicago, and we didn't tell people beforehand what the movie was going to be. When When the music comes up and the sequence where they show the A's playing at the beginning of the... Against the Yankees in the first scene of the movie, it was like 750 people basically burst out screaming. They were so excited that it was Moneyball. I feel like this movie has a really much bigger cultural footprint now than it did.

It's also like, I feel like it's like the Farris Buhler of movies where it's like everybody, the hardest hardcore, like Art House guy to the most, I just watch whatever is on Netflix is their Everybody likes Moneyball.

We did it. I think it was one of the first ones we did. Then did we redo it?

I don't know if we've ever redone it.

Some great Pit, probably the best Pit ever.

It's definitely up there. He's phenomenal.

And fun from a standpoint of I can't believe it worked. Yeah, especially when you knew about the script.

It's a crazy accomplishment.

Really good rewatch. I think Pit's the number one reason it That's such a good rewatch. He's just so good in that movie. 27, Dark Knight. Hmm.

Throw a bone.

Now, we did Dark Knight.

I wasn't on it.

You did not. I would be, honestly, it would be almost as important to me as Sicario is to do Dark Knight with you. To redo it? One on one. No, I just want to see him. Same with Star Wars. I would love to hear Bill talk about Gotham.

It's a great movie.

You know what else is great about it? The 4K Blu-ray era. Yeah. I would say it's in the top 10.

All the Nolan movies look really great at home.

That movie is awesome with a nice TV and a nice little… What do they call them? What What are the kids call it, Sean? When you transition it, the video feed, what's it called?

No idea what you're saying.

I don't know what you're talking about.

When they talk about… A transfer.

The transfer.

The 4K transfer.

It's blanking. I've said it many times, but when the truck flips near the end of the movie just right over itself, I started crying. I was like, This is exactly how I want to feel while I'm watching a movie. This is the most excited and electrified I've been by a movie.

Have you seen Dark Knight Rises? Yeah, I like it. Are you more into Bane or Joker?

Bane.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, that checks out. Joker?

Joker, obviously. This is what the spice of this pot. That's right. Two Bane guys and a Joker.

You're more of a Razaal goal guy to me.

No, Bane is really important to me.

He is.

Bane, I think Bane actually also secretly would win an election against Joker. I think Bane has a bigger mind share than Joker. Where are they?

On what platform are I think that might be the 28 ballots. This is like a Green Party situation. Where are they running?

Would you prefer voting in an election between Bane and Joker or Trump and AOC? What would you prefer?

I need more time to think about it.

Yeah, Trump 3 versus AOC.

This one has a good rewatchables piece of Nobody's Home, I'm just going to crank this. There's a couple of scenes in it. It's like, Yeah, fuck it.

That's what Ciarra thinks when Nobody's Home, too. I'm just going to crank it.

He's cranking. The Crank Daddy. Number 26, Ocean's Eleven. Yeah? Yeah. Just a wonderful hang.

It is. It is. It's a great time. It's a great movie. We didn't put it on our list. I'm I'm reevaluating that.

But there was a speculation that this was going to be a top three for you guys.

I know because Amanda and I both love it. I don't know. We overlooked it. Really? Yeah. It's great. If it was a 50 movie listed, for sure, it wouldn't have been on it.

Sometimes it's just good to put a bunch of movie stars in a movie, let them all hang out, do movie star things together.

This is also right when all of these guys are still in some peak at the same time.

All right, one more break, and then we'll do top 25. All right, we're back with top 25. Number 25, Creed.

Nice.

He did this twice, including in front of a live audience. In Philly.

The list is like halfway through, and you've got 12 classics, right? You've got your, Knocked Up, Dark Knight, Get Out, Oceans 11. Then you've got a lot like love.

Proof of Life. Proof of Life. And weird ones.

Creed, obviously a classic, right? Total modern classic.

Perfect sports movie where you can... Oh, this is on? Oh, he's...

Is he running with the ATVs yet?

We're almost near the ATVs. Great. Yes.

We just published a big oral history of the movie on the Ringer that Alan Siegel did, which was cool. Are the next 24, is it still 50/50? Or do you feel like when you were doing the list, were you like, I don't want to have too many obvious like, these are the classics?

It was funny. Right as we head to this number 24 spot, the The list became way easier.

Really? Yeah. Because that's why I was asking about metrics. There was like, this is my favorite movie from this period.

These are favorites combined with easy to rewatch. Okay. Which brings us to number 24, Fast and Furious 7.

Which one is this?

This is the one where Paul Walker dies in real life, and they have to CGI some of his scenes, but it ends with the... It's been a long day. Long day. I forget the... What are the lyrics in that song?

No, you got it. That's perfect. Keep going.

I'll see you again, right?

Without you, my friend. The greatest ending of any movie in the 21st century.

Yeah, definitely. What actually happens in this movie? This isn't like...

Oh, Fast 7 is amazing.

Is this the one where they drive through Skyscraper? No, it ends up in LA. Oh, okay. It's in LA. I haven't seen a lot of these movies.

You're thinking of Fast 5, which is in Okay.

Is there one- This is really the concept of Familia.

Really came together in the right ways.

Yeah, it's your management style.

I still think the last 10 minutes of this with Paul Walker and they drive in the It's just like they couldn't have executed it better. One of the two stars of the movie died, and they still figured out how to make it an awesome movie, and it's really good. I think my second favorite Fast and Furious movie.

Did you do this on the show?

Yeah.

How many fast movies have you done?

Three or four. Really? Is it all over the place? You're not going. Did you do the first fast? Yes. Did you do Tokyo Drift?

Did not.

You did five, seven.

One. We might have also done four. I think we might have done four. What's four called? You know what? The other day, I woke up in the middle of the night because I had a cough. Fast Four was on. It's called Fast and Furious. First one's called The Fast and the Furious. Four is Fast and Furious.

Got it. Ingenious.

Watched the second half of four. Incredible. Our guy John Arties is in it. Yeah? Yeah.

Sat next to John Arties at the weapons premiere earlier this year.

Fistbone?

He didn't know who I was. We didn't speak.

You guys don't like Fast Seven as much because you don't have as big of a heart as I do.

Chris and I don't get these movies.

That's fine. Yeah.

I find it very hard to watch Vin Diesel on What about in Saving Private, Ryan? He's fine in that, but that was pre his self-awareness of what he was doing. Boiler Room. Boiler Room is great. But once he hits these movies, I just feel like his comments are hurtful, and I'm going to move on.

The closest I've ever come to drinking Bleach Live on a Pod is during the Fast X episode that we did about five years ago. That's the lowest of the low.

What was your...

Remember we went-Fast 10? Yes.

Dinner for your birthday.

I can't defend the last two.

Then you had to leave playing golf because you had to go see. Was Hobbes and Shaw?

Hobbes and Shaw, yeah.

Okay. Can't defend that one either.

Yeah, it was tough.

Number 23, John Wick 2.

Fuck, yeah.

Hell, yeah. Great movie. Yeah.

I got to be honest. I was stunned it couldn't crack the top 20. I kept looking I got the list trying to figure out how to move it up, but I didn't have a spot.

Is this the last John Wick movie?

That's the thing.

Which one?

Is this the last John Wick movie? It is.

This is our last two over one. John Wick One is not in this list.

Didn't make it.

Interesting.

Didn't make it. John Wick 2 is Common in the subway?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's the bet.

Wiktou is like...

Wiktou is incredible.

It's also great because it just starts and it's going. You did not like the last one as much.

Last one's too long. As you know, come on.

It has some of the greatest set pieces I've ever seen.

Yeah, I'm sure it did. I thought three was too long and four is a borderline masterpiece. I loved four.

Yeah. I didn't like three as much. Four, I thought was incredible. Two is great.

Two is just a home run. It's everything I want from I'm not going to argue with you. It's everything I want for my two of them.

Quiano doing pretty well on this list so far.

Number 22, Gone Girl.

Yeah. Also now a little underrated. A little lost of time. Yeah. Huge hit.

I keep getting sucked in. Most people under 25 probably don't even have cable anymore. We still have cable. I still go through the guide and Gone Girl. It's like any point in this movie, it's a home run. The movie shifts where all of a sudden you find out it's her, and then we have that Then I think the last 20 minutes is really good when she comes back, our girl, Carrie Coon.

Awesome in this.

Her first movie role.

Lola Kirk.

I'll say another thing. I think Affleck's incredible in this movie.

It's one of his best performances.

Arguably his best performance.

Perfect, perfect, perfect person. He's just enough of a scumbag.

We did this on rewatching. Ripping on his own persona and everything.

It's a genius movie. Making him wear a Yankees hat.

Yeah, The Fincher making him wear the Yankees hat. It's very funny. He didn't like that part.

Number 21, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Okay.

Craig Holbeck's favorite movie.

I think this has aged wonderfully. Mila Kunis is a 15 out of 10 on the cute scale. The Russell brand being next door just banging away at Kristen Bell as he has to listen is hilarious.

Another going on a trip movie for you.

You get to go away. This was big during COVID. Watched this movie a few times.

Two Hawaii movies for you.

Yeah. Really, I I like where they stay. I like the whole everything about it. And then the Dracula thing is fucking funny. It's still really good.

It's ingenious. It's the perfect why Judd Apatow is a genius thing where for years, Siegel is trying to get the Dracula musical off the ground for real with puppets. And he's like, Dude, we're not doing this, but you should make this a part of this other movie that we're doing.

And it's one of those where you… It's like, I'm not sure why Siegel more good stuff didn't happen for him. Maybe the sitcom, he just made a lot of money and I think How I Met Your Mother and Shrinking are both big. Shrinking is huge for him. I'm just thinking, I don't know why this was the only big movie he made.

He could have been… At the time, I was like, Oh, he's like Albert Brooks. This is going to be like, he's going to make all these movies that are on his point of view and about modern relationships and life in America. He didn't really pursue that as much.

He was in Five Year Engagement, which I think is now the most underrated rom-com of the last 15 years. It's really, really good. The first screening of that movie.

It just gets lost. It just ended because it's the longest movie I've made. It's five hours long.

It is two and a half hours.

It's on the rewatchables list. I think it's good. I also like I Love You Man. He was good in that. Was he in that one?

He's in I Love You Man. He's great in that. The guy Rud.

But for some reason, this became the movie that became his movie legacy. I think he had a really nice run there, but it's like he's one movie short.

Yeah, I Love You Man is slapping the bass, right?

Incredible stuff. I Love You Man is great. I Wmen hasn't been on the show, right?

No. Has role models been on the show?

Yeah, there's some good comedies that we still have. Comedies that I've been sitting with. I didn't even really like Five Year Engagement until a couple of years ago. I was like, Oh, this is a good movie. I do remember.

I like this movie. Is it Pratt and is it Ila Fisher? Who's the other, the sister? They're both really funny in it.

We're now in the top 20. It's hard to believe John Wick 2 didn't crack the top 20, but then you look at the top 20 and you get number 20, Den of Thiefs.

Wow.

We've done it twice.

Did Pantera reduce Den of Thiefs for you at all? Did it take it down a notch?

It's fine. I've learned not to get been out of shape with sequels.

It was just Pablo Shriver and 50 Cent have an enormous amount to do with why Den of Thiefs is good.

That's the thing. I think it's basically the in the Tokyo Drift area. We got away from what made the franchise work. But Pablo Shribers can't come back unless he has an evil brother.

If Big nick was added to the Eagles's coaching staff this weekend, would you feel better?

Big nick and Big Dom. Overseeing Cribes? Yeah.

Might help.

See this?

This is a bang.

I think this is the best pure action movie rewatchables that anybody has made in the last 10 years. Just from a jump into it. It's Narrowly edging John Wicks 2. There's another movie that I don't feel like is in the same thing where I'm just talking lots of characters. I'm in a world. They're trying to take something.

I would take the Mission Impossible movies probably over this, but I hear what you're saying.

We'll talk about that when we're done. Number 19. No Country for Old Men.

I feel like you've really come around to this one.

I really did over the last 10 years. Maybe as I got older and I started to see from the time of the Jones side.

Did you not like it when you first saw it?

I did. I didn't like the ending. And now I really like the ending.

The ending is profound. Yeah.

It's just... I mean, we've already done it, but it's almost 20 years old at this point. Did it make your list?

We did Inside Lou and Davis, which was a negotiation between Amanda and I. That was the whole thing with our list, is every movie is a negotiation between Amanda and I.

Amanda, it's only one director.

We did only one movie per director.

That was our goal. Is this your favorite Coen Brothers movie? Yes. This movie, if you put it on right now, it looks like it does not feel like it's aged a second. It's like a beautiful, timeless.

We always say this, but it's another movie that's aged really well with the TVs. Going the wide screen with the HD. Even that beginning when he's out basically in the desert or wherever the fuck he is, that wide shot of it's just everything about it. He's like, What's that?

It's in that class of Casablanca and singing in the Rain where it's just an American classic, and it's always going to be an American classic.

It also has a couple of great rewatchable stretches, but when you know what's his face?

Shigur. Anton Shigur.

When you know he's coming to the hotel and he's in there and he realizes the trackers in his suitcase, that 10 minutes just lights out. It's so good.

The Bardem, Kelly McDonald scene at the end. Yeah, there's so many.

I always think of Call It when he's in. The He's talking to the guy in the store. Yeah. He's doing the coin flip.

Then Woody talking to him. Anyway, that's number 19 somehow.

Is there another Cormac McCarthy adaptation on this list?

There's not. That's repeat. Counselor.

counselor would be on my list. I lobbied for the counselor on our list.

Number 18, Bridesmaids.

Yeah.

Found that we started to move a lot more toward the comedies as we hit the top 25. Sure. But Bridesmaids, just a huge win in my family. Maybe my wife's favorite movie of the century. Really? Yeah, absolutely loves it. We'll just put it on.

This is one of the big tragedies of current movie making is that we don't just get a movie like this once a year. The hard R comedy.

All the side characters are great. The one friend who's like, Oh, my God, it's a jerk off fest in there. It's just covered and come. Everything. Talking about her kids. It's got a couple lights, that seems. Then Maya Rudolf, basically in this supporting role. She easily could have been the lead. Everything about this movie is on run.

Roseburn, too. I feel like Roseburn is amazing in it.

This is one of the most loaded cast, I think, of any movie in the last 15 years. Looking back, we're like, Oh, they're in it. They're in it. They're in it.

I didn't watch Gilmore Girls, so I didn't really know anything about Melissa McCarthy before this movie came out. I was like, Who the fuck is that?

Number 17, this is the end.

It's so funny, This is the movie Ben and I have watched the most together. You guys know this, having done hundreds of these, but like, comedy rewatchables episodes are harder to do. Yeah. Because you're just like, this is really funny. Yeah. Because it's hard to not just repeat the jokes and laugh a lot, which I think it's fun for us, but it's not as chewy to get into them as some of the dramas, but you have a lot of comedies.

It was interesting also just generationally that this was a huge Craig, Danny Hyfe, it's movie, that this was the one that they're like, this is the classic, which I do agree with. It is such an amazing little time capsule of all these people as they're getting really, really, really famous.

One of the best things about it is it's really the end of this specific era. For some people, this was about the peak or it was right before it was about to slide the other direction. But just all the inside Hollywood stuff is really funny, too. Everything about it. Danny McBride. Number 16, Limitless.

Really?

That's a great pick.

This is a good list making.

This is a great pick.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie over the last 10 years. We were talking about this this week. We did this summer. We watched it was five years ago.

But I was saying how I'm on the brink of 44. I'm about to fall off the cliff. It's really hard. We have one of those three pod days where my brain is leaking out of my ears. There are times when I'm like, I wish I the limitless drug.

You guys were texting about this yesterday, and I was like, I don't really feel that much different at 48 than I did at 44. But then I had to do an ad read for Wayfair and wondered whether I could read. I couldn't spell Wayfair for the URL. I was like, What's happening?

What is happening to me? Your brain gets scramble. This movie is perfect with the pace. Every moment of the movie you can jump into and it's good. It's It's really well done. It's hilarious that De Niro's in this taking it seriously.

Super serious.

It's the movie that made Cooper a star, I think. It wasn't hangover. Really, he needed one of these where it's like, Oh, wow, this is going to be good, too. And then he was off.

What political office does he win or run for at the end of the-Eddy? Yeah.

I think he's running for mayor of New York or governor of New York or something. Zolran. Yeah. He's like, he figures out how to microdose at the end. He's like, You don't understand. That car there is going to crash into that car in seconds. And De Niro turns around, there's a car crash.

Oh, and it didn't like... Because De Niro is like, I'm going to take away your supply. And he's like, no, I've been building my own lab. We're making it.

How is there not a sequel to this movie?

Well, there was a TV show.

Yeah, but there should be a two. He lives at the end, right? Yeah.

You know how I know that other people feel this way about Limitless? Because it's on all the time on every channel. It's always on. It's all over the place. I'm upset that you're not more into it.

What are you talking about?

I did the rewatchables with you. I know, but I feel like you're falling off a little bit.

No, I just I don't remember what political office you… I'm surprised it went above… I'm surprised it's above some of these movies. I'm surprised it's above John Wick, too. I'm surprised it's above…

It's sick to put it over Dark Night in No Country.

Listen, CR, I didn't say The I know it's made sense. I'm just talking about what I've watched the most times. It's awesome.

You just wanted to sit here and be like, Great job, Bill. This is awesome.

I wanted you to push back.

I saw it one time, and I definitely enjoyed it.

I definitely enjoyed it. I really like Womenless. I've seen it a lot of times.

I like when he drinks the blood. Yeah. I told you we're going to get weird. Number 15, not that weird, sideways. Okay. Watched it a lot. You get to go somewhere. I get to go into San Anez and do some wine tasting. That was a fun episode. Gimani Tour de Force.

We got to learn all about all your wine history.

Oh, yeah. I like all the wine stuff. It's got a couple of great rewatchable moments, like the big scene with what's her face?

Virginia Madsen. Virginia Madson. Explaining the Pinot Noir.

She's got her big Oscar monolog The Ending's good. I like…

Thomas Hayes & Church is really good in this.

I like beating down characters who it's like, maybe they aren't going to be that successful at the end. The highlight of this guy's life might be just going back and teaching.

The revelation that his novel sucks is really funny.

Number 14. Probably the most controversial one on the list. Spotlight.

I mean, it's a tough rewatch, but it's got everything we look for.

That's the thing. It should be a tough rewatch, and yet I always rewatch it. For the same reasons, I always watch all the President's Men. Just the media putting together this puzzle of something and people trying to investigate, and all the acting is really good. Obviously, we did this pretty early. We had the Ruffalo Award. I don't really understand why I always get sucked into it because it's not a feel good movie. It ends with...

I'm sure some of it is the Boston and also the Boston media stuff. That's another thing.

I was there for it. Yeah, I was there when this happened.

But it's just a process movie. It's just them going through phone books, going through records and stuff.

We just showed it at Coolidge Corner, right? People dug it. It's 10 years now, this year. Yeah.

Also, you get to the seventh spot in the lineup and Crut Up and Jamie Sheridan are absolutely dealing.

Every scene is just a home run in this movie. I think one of the reasons I appreciate it so much when I watch it is how hard it is to make a movie like this successful. Because we've seen the bad versions of this, right? What was the one, the the Me Too movie. She said. She said. They'll do versions of this where it's like, Oh, this is actually really hard to do this. Or even what Goldman wrote about all the President's men of just, How do you do this? How do you get all this information? How do you bring all these characters in? It's really good. Number 13, Before Sunset.

Got to be.

No notes.

The second one, not the first one for people.

We did that on the show this year.

Yeah, we've done multiple Before Sunset content, so don't need to go to that.

Have you thought about Midnight more?

I have. Okay. What's funny is I've only seen it once.

I had a really funny conversation with a close colleague of ours about not getting divorced the other day and how it's very important to not get divorced. And that movie is a really interesting exploration of not getting divorced.

Was this person on the fence?

No, neither of us were on the fence.

You guys were both being like, We're married?

No, we were just like, I've met people who've gotten divorced, and it has scooped out their soul. It's And even more so if you have kids, it's just how messy it is. That whole movie is like, how far can we take being honest with each other without it ending? The Midnight is.

That's probably why I've only watched it once. It's too raw. It's rough. It's a hard movie. Ethan Hawk was like, I love it, man. Let's go. Number 12, Old School.

Yeah. Also now a little underrated.

Yes. So part of this- This is a very fun rewatch. This is early.

This list favors a little bit the movies from the 2000s, just from totality. This movie has been in our lives more often. This movie came out in '03. But it's just influential, still funny, can pop it on anytime. It can pop into any part of the movie, basically.

Crucial Luke Wilson performance.

This is the origin of the Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford take, which lives in infamy. You know who loved that take, Cameron Crowe? Did he? He was all in.

Really? He really did. Forgot to tell you that.

He was like, I agree.

Yeah, he just was like, 100% did one of those.

It wasn't like, I got Chris's back. It was like, We all know this.

Yeah, it was a We all know this.

Which, of course, we don't. Did CamerCro watch We Own The City?

No, I don't think so.

Number 11, Fast Five.

Two Fast and Furious movies.

Fast Five is just an unbelievable achievement. It's set in Brazil. It moves 17 times. There's probably five great set pieces, and then one of the best endings of any action movie this century. It's like when they really figured out the formula. It's the peak of... This is the 96 Bulls.

Who's the villain in this?

It's a guy that they steal money from who then tries to kill all of them. It's the peak of the franchise.

It's not Charlize yet, right?

No. No, no, no. This is before they started to get too ambitious. It's unrealistic, but still realistic. It's before the wheels started to come off. Okay. Fast 6, they're dropping cars from helicopters and they're just landing and driving. But Five is realistic. But we're in Brazil. The Rock comes in.

The Rock's in this one.

Yeah, The Rock shows up.

Is this the last time The Rock shows up on your list? Yes.

You thought Smashing Machine number one?

Jungle Cruise. Yeah.

Number 10, Step Brothers.

A lot of comedies.

Yeah, a lot of comedies.

It's a guy who loves to laugh.

It's like a funeral, though, for this era of comedies. Yeah.

It is a rewatchable, it turns out.

Yeah. I mean, they really are. We grew up watching the same 25 comedies over and over again. But I don't know. I don't feel like that's how it works anymore.

This is for the Simmons fan, a staple.

Yes.

Tour de Force. Still really funny. Everybody's good in it. Can't believe how many good actors and random people are in it. The Catalina thing is just all time funny. The Billy Joel.

The deleted scenes. I mean, honestly, Step Brothers, I would be able to do Step Brothers as many times as he… There's just like…

Richard Jenkins explaining that when he grew up, he wanted to be a dinosaur, and his dad took that away from him. He told him he couldn't be a a dinosaur. He tells his kids, Don't let them take that away from you. It's just incredible. It's great.

Number nine, Taken. 90 minutes. Perfect. Just a perfect movie. Great father-daughter movie. Watch it again now that you have a daughter.

That's exactly what I want to be thinking about. Definitely.

I watched it with my daughter when she was 10. This is Albanians.

This is Albanians. This is why you can't go to France by yourself. This is Alisha Cuffer going to a U2 concert is the premise?

No, No, it's not Elicia Cuthbert.

It's not Elicia.

How dare you? No, it's Maggie Grace. It's a girl Maggie Grace.

Playing young. She's probably in her mid 20s playing a 16-year-old. Yeah.

Sorry to both of them.

Great lessons from this movie, including Don't Lie to your Father. You might get kidnapped by a bane. That's a very important lesson.

I feel like this is both personal for you, but also you love Liam Neeson executing guys.

When was the last time you saw it, Ciar?

It's been a while.

Ciar, this movie is impeccable. It's an absolute achievement.

It inspired a whole wave of action movies just like it.

I mean, Lea Monies has made 20 movies like this.

You know what I really appreciate about this movie is it's tight. It's like an eight-ounce filet mignon. It's like, do you want the 12-ounce? I just want the eight-ounce. I'm going to take 20 bites of this and dip it in some steak sauce. I watched it on an airplane recently because it was on Jet Blue, and there were no games on. I was just around. It was on AMC or one of those things. I was like, great. Lock it I'll do some emails. Just have taken on.

What's your steak sauce of choice? Is it like a Berne?

Whatever is there.

Like a chimichurri?

Whatever the chef recommends this cut.

What about you?

Mayo.

My favorite scene in Taken is when he shoots Jean-Claude's wife in the arm when he's trying to get information. She thinks he's there for dinner, Liam Neeson. But he's there to get information from Jean-Claude, whatever his name is. Now they have guns. And Lee Neeson shoots his wife in the arm. And the guy does this. He's like, Relax. It's a flesh wound. We haven't even seen what happened in the boat yet. This movie is great. You get to go to different parts of Europe. We get to dive into the seedy world of kidnapping and auctioning. And then he kills everybody in the end and gets his daughter back. I got to tell you- She's fine, except for the two days of heroine.

Is a flesh wound something that only happens in movies, or can you really get a flesh wound in real life be fine.

This was just happened in another movie where someone got shot in the arm and it went right through and it was okay.

It was like, sometimes it would just hit your bone, right?

But if it hits your bone, it shatters your bone.

Yeah, it shatters your bone.

That's not what you want.

Number 8, Superbad.

Yeah.

Big, long, sprawling, funny movie. It has not aged badly in any way.

No, it's the counterpoint to Mean Girls, right?

Ben Simmons loves it. We've watched it many times. All the cameos are hilarious.

Hater and Rogan. Probably some of the funniest 10 minutes of screen time ever.

I don't need to make a case for this. I'm done.

Nudging right ahead of it in the seventh spot, The Hangover.

Wow, this is a laugh riot from I went.

I really battled between seven and eight with those two, and I thought the hangover…

It's going to be amazing if six is like 12 years of slave.

I think the hangover, what nudged it for me is not at the Carlos, which I think is one of the funiest things ever said in a movie when they're pretending to jerk off the baby and Zack off. That goes not at the table Carlos. There's nothing funnier. It's the peak.

I love the hangover.

The ending's great. Closing credits. The Dan band coming in and singing at the end.

Yeah, the Dan band's fucking incredible.

Every time you think it's losing steam, it gets really funny again.

Cooper is really... This was my preferred Cooper. It's great. Absolutely shit This is your favorite Bartha, too, right?

Yeah, this is my favorite Bartha.

It's a grand slam. Roller Girl.

Just killing it yet again. Heather, of course.

All right, now we're down to the top six. Probably wouldn't have been easy or hard for you guys to figure out the top six. Number six, Miami Vice.

Well done. I really respect this and love you for this.

When I told CR, I'd need his time on Friday, he responded, time is luck.

.

This movie is aged incredibly. It looks great. I love hanging out with it. I love that we did a podcast with Colin Farrell, where he seemed surprised that we liked it so much.

He didn't have any recollection of making it.

He didn't really remember making it all.

We were like, Any stories? He was just like, No.

I don't remember. Was I in that movie? The boat scene all the way to Cuba, all that part, is one of the best 10 minutes from a rewatchable standpoint that we have in life.

Somehow I was watching the John Hawks' Highway scene the other day, and I was like, this is what an amazing opening to a movie. It's just John Hawks.

It just goes. It goes. The movie starts. We're already going. The movie ends. We're still going. It's like walking to the hospital.

I'm not even sure the bad guys at the end of the movie, are they the bad guys for the other two-thirds of the movie?

Like the white We don't want to say too much because this was Sean's number one. The 25 to 25.

The celebration and recelebration of this movie is a mass delusion among middle-aged men. That's just one of my takes. This movie does not work. When did you last actually done the work?

You haven't even watched it since I thought in the theater.

I saw it in theaters and I was like, absolutely not.

But you have terrible take. Do you have a good copy of it?

You guys just said you have to watch Black Hat 10 times to get it. I'm not going to fucking do that.

You saw one battle five times.

I love one battle.

But I loved one battle on battle.

Blackout Slash is defensible.

Many people love Miami Vice, and I know that you both do.

Are you excited about Butler and Jordan?

Is that who he landed on?

Isn't that who they landed on?

I don't know if they have officially announced it for the new Miami Vice movie, you Austin Butler and Michael B.

Jordan. I always get nervous anytime they remake IP that I really like. But that's what this is.

This already is that.

I know, but what I like about this. But by the guy, they completely reinvented it in a really cool mid 2000s way. Then there's also this like, oh, what would have happened if they could have shot the original ending that man wanted to do? Fun little side piece of this. There's great information about it and great movie screen movie, great cable rewatchable, great 4K, great Blu-ray.

Great sound track.

Great everything.

As you know, I hate that. Mod Y. Link & March shit.

Mod Y. Playing it over.

Man, tapping into this weird advanced metal rock era that I think was this era That wasn't even an era.

The audio slave era.

Yeah, it lasted five minutes.

I like that in collateral. Yeah.

Number 5, The Deparded.

Yeah. Fucking rips. To me, the definition of a rewatchable.

The definition. I think it's the first one we did twice.

Deparded and repartied, right?

Yeah. We could do the three-parted when we go to Netflix.

Just so fun. That's so good. Such a fun time.

It's perfect. Leo and Damon at the perfect time of their career. Nicholson just deranged.

Is this the last great Nicholson? Or it's about Smiths after this or something, right? Mm-mm.

That's before it.

Worldly brilliant by tennis.

I think it probably is the last great Nicholson.

I think it is. Because he's early '70s at this point.

He's been retired for 15 years.

Number four, The Town.

Over the Deparded.

It's a strong take.

But it's not a take.

It's pure rewatches, right?

It's what I've rewatched more in the 21st century. I think I've watched The Town more. I think I've been sucked in more. I just think I know the movie better. And I think it's four.

What do you have, CR? I would have these flipped, personally.

You've seen Deparded slightly more?

Oh, definitely seen more than the town.

See, the town goes to another level to me because of the Boston stuff and how they do the locations. I just like being in the North End and Great Affleck, Blake Lively. I think I've watched it slightly more. Yeah.

Does your appreciation for the Conley and Hoover adaptation increase your affection for a lively performance in this movie? Did you see It Ends With Us? Did you watch the movie?

Oh, yeah.

What did you think?

It's number two.

I didn't love it.

Didn't love it, yeah. Yeah.

Me neither. I don't know if... I'm I want to think if there's a scene in The Deparded that lives as large for us as, whose car are we take in?

Or just Renner in general.

And there goes college soccer.

Or Shine.

What's your Can you do a little of your posture weight?

Give her a little taste. You got to gild them chemically.

I live two blocks from the ice rink. I have a lot of geographical types to this movie, too.

I just love the thing. How many banks did you rob as a young man?

Never. It never went over the hill. Number three, Anchor Man.

Yeah.

Still haven't done it.

Still haven't done it.

What are you waiting for?

It's a couple that we just haven't done yet. Saving them.

It's Immaculate. It was on our list, too. It's the highest comedy on this list.

It's the comedy I've seen, rewatched, relived, cracked open the most times.

I laughed to a point where I feel like I'm hallucinating when I watch this movie.

It's a movie to me that is like a song where I've just memorized all the... Not just the lyrics, but the way that the lyrics are sung. When he's like, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The intonations of everything that Farrell does is really, really special.

I think if I did this movie, this list five years from now, Anchorman 2 would be on it, but I'm not quite there. That was a recent, last six years thing for me. You've been pushing that lately. Yeah. There's some good stuff in that one.

Do you know, is there an Anchorman 2 version where you can get the complete-There's an alternate movie, I think of. There's an alternate movie, right?

More sex scenes? What do you mean?

No, but is there when they did the physical release of Anchorman 2, is the other movie on there or this all?

I think the alternate movie is Anchorman 1 and then Anchorman 2.

You mean Wake Up Ron Bergen? Yeah. The second movie. That's on the first one. That was all shot concurrent with the first movie, and then they stitched it together from the cut scenes, basically. Which is also, Wake Up Ron Burgundy is really funny, too. Yeah.

Number two, Social Network. Yeah.

Very special.

Perfect for a rewatchable standpoint. Jump in anytime.

I was just rewatching this the other day. It happened to be on cable.

Really fun. It has gained a different level of relevance the more and more we know about Zuckerberg, which we talked about when we did the pod five years ago. And even since then, it's even more interesting.

So thoughts on the sequel?

I'm okay with it. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to give it a chance mentally. I don't feel like it's a money grab.

Sorkin, Writing and Directing. Jeremy Strong and Jeremy Strong is Zuckerberg.

And Jeremy Alouait is the Wall Street Journal reporter, right?

And Mikey Madison?

Is the whistleblower.

Yeah. Good cast. It's a risk. It's a risk. This is a movie with an immaculate reputation.

That was two, right?

What do you think number one is?

I think it's...

I like that he's looking at me to see what my poker hand is. I don't think you're going to get it.

But you will- You haven't done a PTA, you haven't done a Tarantino. What do you think it is?

You had a factor in family.

Mm-hmm. Oh, Is it 50 First Dates?

No, but that almost made the list.

Yeah, I know it's a big one for your fan.

I don't personally like that movie that much. I always feel like I was an unwilling participant in 50 First Dates.

Interesting. Is it Season 2 of euphoria?

No. It is the Devil Wears Prada.

Oh, I wouldn't have guessed that.

I would not have guessed that.

I think I've seen it the most times, and there's reasons for that, including my wife and my daughter. It's probably their I've never seen a whatever movie, but I always get sucked in. If it's on, I'll be like, Oh, I like this part. Really fun to make fun of as you watch it. Perfectly done. It's really well-acted. Anne Hathaway and Blunt are fantastic in it. Street, it's probably my favorite Meryl Streep performance. Sure. The music's good. It's a fun hang. You get to go places. There's a costume change. You get to go to Paris, and everybody in the house can I think we achieve rewatchable's perfection with Devil Wears Prada.

This is honestly a great zag from you. I did not expect Devil Wears Prada at the top.

But it wasn't even really a zag. It's the answer. I've watched this movie the most times.

When you were conceiving of this list, were you immediately like, I know Devil Wears Prada is number one?

I knew it was going to be in the top five, but then as I started stacking the five together and really thinking like, All right, I'm out of times. I could put I saw it at my holiday party, and my wife just would have gravitated over to the TV. It's one of those.

It's really interesting that your number one and number two are both getting sequels in 2026. Isn't that fascinating? What does that tell you, though? That is resonating in rewatchability.

I think Devil Wears Prada will be on for this entire century. It's weirdly ageless. I don't see it like losing steam. I don't think that Social Network will lose steam either. No. I don't think The Town. What's interesting about the top five, all those movies will keep going. Anchor Man might have the toughest case.

I don't think so. I think it'll maybe have three or four years of people aren't talking about as much, but I don't think. Yeah.

It's never going to be like- It's set in the '70s. I don't know. Would a 19-year-old right now like Anchor Man? I don't know. My son doesn't really care about Anchor Man, which I think is interesting.

What does your... Comedy-wise, what does Ben think is funny? Does he like Tim Robinson?

His peak is this is the end and super bad. That's It's the younger kids. The Appetow stuff.

Interesting.

So yeah.

Devil Wears Proud is a great pick, especially under the rubric of rewatchability because it is a movie that people just always had on.

What was your number one most rewatchable movie?

There will be bloods of the movie I've rewatched the most times this century because it was the movie the first time I saw it. I was like, That's my favorite movie. I had not seen anything. We talked about it when we did our episode about that movie. So that would be pretty high up there. But I'm trying to think of what's something that is not this heavy weight.

I love that movie, but I think I've only seen it three times.

Yeah, I've watched it at least 20 times. I've seen it a lot. But I'm trying to think of what's more in that collateral or stepbrother's zone where it's just like, I just like having this on, that thing that you're describing, as opposed to I'm studying this thing that means a lot to me, and there's a difference, right? Yeah. What is it for you?

I mean… It's Miami Vice. The more I think about it, It might be Sicario and Miami Vice are the two movies that I've probably put on the most.

Yeah.

And Glories Bastards is high up there. Yeah. All the Teresita movies. But I'm trying to think of movies like Den of Thiefs that I actually… That I've actually fired up a lot.

I also think situation affects it. My wife doesn't like Inglories Bastards.

It's true.

Right. So it doesn't make the cut because it's like, I hate this movie. It's one of those. Drive?

Yeah, but I haven't rewatched it in the last couple of years. It's funny. I could easily do the movies I have rewatched, but they're not from this era. I know that I watch Die Hard once a year. I know I watch Jaws once a year.

But that's the thing. The '80s, '90s, this would have been so much harder.

Yeah, it's different.

The 21st century, especially, I think the only one from this decade I had was Maverick. Yeah. But I think 10 years from now, once upon a time in Hollywood, it'll probably be on it.

I know this is going to sound... This would not even be in the top 10, but one that would be a surprise on my list would be the Scream Reboot with Emma Roberts. Wow.

That's a good one.

Because... Four. Yeah, I just rewatched it a bunch of times in Scream rewatches, but also it's my wife and I really like it. And so we just will sometimes we're bored, we'll just throw that Scream on. It's a really random one. A hard exact. Yeah.

The thing is, if I lived alone and I didn't have anyone in the house, I think the list looks different.

Sure.

It's probably Miami Vice, one, and two. It's just one and two.

Squid the Whales, the movie that was just on in my house all the time when I was living in Brooklyn. That was just a movie that immediately was like, this is my energy. This is exactly the tempo. And that's another movie that's like 84 minutes. So you can just... It's very tight. That's so impressive. I'm going to get in and get out. It is, but I don't know.

It is Brooklyn, though. Yeah.

You know what's interesting, though? Out of all those movies, if 2000 was included, I would have had Almost Famous One and It's the way, too.

Sure.

Over every movie I just did.

Almost Famous is not on our list because it's not an Amanda movie, and she wouldn't put it on. But if it was just me, it would be in my top 10. It's funny.

Some people don't like it. I remember that was a big Jay Kang thing.

Yeah, he didn't like it.

He was like, Fuck that movie. He was really angry about it. Yeah, some people hate it. Then other people are like, If I'm not on the rewatchables, I'm resigning from the Ringer. Multiple people. Not just Julia.

Yeah, I don't know. I agree with you. If you were including 2000s, that would be really high or the year 2000.

I just watched Castaway last week. Did you? From beginning to end because it was on Netflix and I had to do some work stuff and I was like, all right.

How does the plane crash explosion look better than anything that happened in any movie with CGI in 2025? I still don't understand how that scene is so good.

And way more harrowing than you want to… When that guy's on the ground like, the one pilot. It's awful. You really feel terrible watching it.

Did it predate Lost? It did.

It predated by six years. It's funny because the Martians liked that, too, which I did not have on the list because I didn't keep revisiting it. I watched it a few times.

Oh, Martian would definitely be on my list. Yeah.

But it's the same thing of the what would I do?

No Ridley Scott for you.

Nothing?

You didn't have any Ridley Scott movies?

I would have... Of the Scott Brothers, I would definitely have Martian for Ridley. I would probably have Prometheus for Ridley, and I would have definitely Unstoppable.

So Unstoppable was a tough cut. Listen, I already have some regrets with the list.

What's the saddest movie you have on that list?

Spotlight. Spotlight. Guys, thanks for listening to my top 50. Was this being recorded? Yeah, it was. Actually, I didn't just invite you over.

It's from. Are we on YouTube?

What was your top three movies I've rewatched the most from the 21st century? There will be Blood.

Yeah. Inglories Bastreds would be up there. Wolf of Wall Street would be up there. Deparded would be up there. All the movies from my guys, my bros. Zodiac. Zodiac would be really high on my list.

Zodiac is very high up there for me.

Michael Clayton would be really high for me.

That's a great call.

I think something got fucked up. Zodiac was supposed to be on this. I knew I was going to make a mistake.

Proof of life over Zodiac. No.

Was that Adam Saylor, Brooklyn Decker movie over Zodiac.

Just go with it.

I would probably have nice guys in my list.

I swear to God, Zodiac was in the '30s, and then I was moving stuff around, and I think it just got cut.

Rip. Just like the Zodiac killer, we still don't know. Yeah.

God damn it. Zodiac was in there. I wonder what I bumped for Zodiac.

I believe we should read Zodiac.

Zodiac was in there.

I'm sorry.

Zodiac's definitely in there for me.

I have a six-hour pod in me about Zodiac anytime you want to do it.

We did it, but I wasn't on it, which gives us an excuse to redo it.

We did it with Greenwald, but it was a 47-minute pod in 2017.

All right, we'll definitely redo that. Zodiac, so that was my big forget. I'm sure I forgot one or two others that people will mention.

There's no way to do it perfectly.

I tried. I went through all the rewatchables list. I went through everything I own on Blu-Rare DVD, and I think I got everything, but I missed Zodiac, so obviously. It happens.

Is there anything else? Have you thought of anything else that is in your top five rewatched?

No. Nice Guys was the one that just jumped in my mind.

I think five years around, Nice Guys will be on the list for me. I watched that on a plane this year. I've just started in a really like...

Did you see Crow was like, people always are asking for a Nice Guys sequel and me and Ryan Gosling, we just have a title, but the title makes us laugh. And he was like, The title is Nice Guys 2, Mexican detectives. I'm just like, holy shit.

Well, the other guys is the other one that has been growing on me.

Really good.

The Eva Mendez scene is so fucking funny.

Yes. When Wauwer can't believe it. He's like, who are you?

Yes. All right. Thanks for doing this. Thanks to Geha for producing. Sorry, Craig couldn't be here. He's away. Hope you enjoyed.
