   Hold up just a minute. This is Chase, Colin, Andrew, and we are thankful for movies, right, Andrew? Oh.  Nothing more than movies than I'm thankful for. , gosh, that's number one on the list. What about having a body that moves?  Nope. That's far down.

What about seeing? Nope. Movies. It's really just movies. What about having like a functioning vestibular system? I know. Nope. All right. , anyway, , on today's short episode. Short. This one's going to be the shortest we've ever done. I don't know about that one.  But we're going to look at IMDb ratings.

And pick out the top 10  Best movies of all time and this is a definitive list. So definitive the top 10 This is a very definitive subjective list. This is the people speaking,  right? Yeah All the people in ohio and kansas and I don't know texas and wherever the fuck they live Okay everywhere and so we're pitting kyle and andrew against each other.

They tied last time that we did one of these so You Someone's got to come out on top this time. Someone's gonna come. Someone's gonna come again and again. . This list is again IMDB's top 10 based on ratings. Okay. ,   You can argue with a lot of it, but you can argue with any list of top 10 movies of all time We're picking this one because we use imdb ratings a lot.

I'm ratings themselves are subjective Anyway,  So just keep that in mind as we guess through these so Are you guys are ready to go? Yeah, i'm ready to go. All right. I'm ready to go chase. All right Kyle, are you ready to go? I'm ready to go. All right, . So since uh last time you tied you both do a shouting match for the first one , you just get one guess but you shout it at the same time and  i'll see if it's on the list It will be  All right.

Are you ready? Mm-Hmm, . All right, let's go. All right. In 3, 2, 1. Got the father  . I knew that was gonna happen.  I  knew that was was gonna happen. Hell yeah, baby. That was great. , what if I told you it wasn't on the list? I'd be, I'd be fucking livid. I would be like, I don't wanna play this game anymore. So it is, it's number two.

on the list.  9. 2 stars from IMDb. , I guess you both get credit for that.  , great job guys. , all right, Kaha, , you're next up with your guess. , Citizen Kane.  Citizen Kane did not make IMDb's top 10. That's fucking bullshit. Okay, again, this is through IMDB ratings. This is the people that live in Ohio and Kansas and Texas and Utah and Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky and North Carolina. 

What about You just named like 42 states. It's all of them.  Middle America is all America. Yeah.  What about Shawshank Redemption?  Number one. Shortstop. Oh, yeah.  I knew it was like nine point. Is it nine point three? Nine point three. Nailed that. I thought it was like nine point one. I thought it'd be a little further down, but okay.

Andrew goes home and practices these games. He's too good at this. It's called autism.  Kidding.  Oh my God, , so Andrew, number one, Shawshank redemption. And then we've already got number two, the Godfather. So Shawshank at 9. 3 rating Godfather at 9. 2.  Um, I don't think this is on the list, but I have, I must guess it's a wonderful life. 

It's a wonderful life. Did not make the list, not the top 10. Anyway, I'm sure it's on this list somewhere. All right, it's at number 21. How about godfather part two?  Andrew playing the sequel role again. So number four godfather part two at 9. 0 9. 0. Okay  So there's number one number two and number four kyle 

star wars the original  Star wars did not make the list said  , how about , forrest gump Forrest Gump checks in at number eleven. Ah, fuck me. You just missed the top ten. So I see what kind of movies we're going for. Yeah, I think. It's not, they're not bad movies, but it's obvious. Obvious ones. Bullshit,  I wouldn't necessarily not a single hallmark movies on this list consider  Any of the movies we've mentioned so far hallmark, I would say wonderful life is more All right work than anything if this is not on there.

I'm going to be very upset. We riot I will be you will be upset too. All right with you The lord of the rings  lord of the rings fellowship of the ring at number nine. Okay, so at 8. 9 so Made the top 10. What about The dark knight  The Dark Knight makes it number three at 9. 0. Hell yeah, baby. Okay, so not the movies I was thinking then.

Okay. So you've got Shawshank Redemption at number one. Godfather. Dark Knight. Dark Knight, Godfather part two. Do you think dudes mainly put these lists together? Like, it had to be mainly men who were voting on this shit. Yeah, sure.   Andrew, you've got Two to kyle you've got one and you gotta split godfather.

So I didn't so it's really three two  It's yeah, really three two. It's three two three two. So sure. All right moving forward kyle

I'm gonna say what I said in the last list or one of the lists that we've done and i'm gonna say schindler's list  Schindler's list checks in at number seven. Oh, wow with a 9. 0. So kyle you just tied it. It's three three All right empire strikes back  Empire Strikes Back did not make the list. Are you serious?

I am serious. Where is it talking about?   Number 15, so it's close. Yeah, it's not far behind. I mean, these are these are great movies, too , okay, and i'll go through the top. I have my next one, but go ahead kyle

These are all over the place, right, Chase? Yeah, these are. Do we have any horror in here?  No. I don't think so. Horror is Low class. Yeah. Low brow. It's for the peasants. It's for people like me. Kyle, , stay your movie because they have mine. I bet you do.

There's only four more left to guess. Yeah.

, no, that can't be it.  Hold on, I'm still thinking. A lot of,

a lot of silence here. How do we fill this space, Jace? Oh, that rhymed. , if we had any money or budget, I'd fill it with music, but we don't have that. So, everyone's just gonna sit in silence. Or sponsors. Apocalypse Now.  Is that your guess? Apocalypse Now? It's a good guess, but it's not in the top ten. Okay, , Pulp Fiction. 

Pulp fiction comes in at number eight. Yep. No, it'd be up there eight point nine. Yep  So you've got three more left to guess you've got number five number six  and number ten  Number ten's gonna be weird  Yeah, but it deserves to be in the top ten. I'll say that actually yeah that one I don't really question that much.

Okay, I don't really question many of these I mean you can shuffle them around but  Wait, what was, , Pulp Fiction's rating, did you say? 8. 9. 8. 9, and that was number 8? Number 8. Okay. I'm

really hitting a wall, I'm like, I don't know. The guesses that we put forth are like, they are all over the place.

, I'll give you a hint. At number 6, it is a sequel. , and number 10,  I can't really give you a hint, I'll give it away. , And number 5 is a movie that was made in the 50s. Based on a play.

Kyle's on to something.

Godfather part 3!  God damn. Oh no.

Based on a play from the 50s.  I don't know when the play was written, but the movie came out in 1957.  Is that what Andrew's Googling over there? No, I'm on  UK? Yeah. Yeah.

Is the one that's a sequel a sequel on this list?  Yeah.

What have we already guessed?  Shawshank. So you got Shawshank at one, Godfather at two, Dark Knight at, , three, Godfather part two at four. Godfather. , the rings list at seven. Pulp Fiction at eight. Lord. The Rings fellowship of the ring at nine.  That's what you got.  What were the last two you just said? 

Lord, the pul fiction at eight and Lord the Rings fellowship of the ring at nine. Lord of the Rings. Return of the king.  You're correct. Return of the king at six with a 9.0. I think that ties you guys right.  Hit it four and four. Can you give us any hints on that play?  The 1950s one

If not without giving it away, I don't feel like because I don't know enough but What about vaguely just vaguely something?  It's a good play Thank you. There's a lot of good plays out there. , it's a one setting play

Anything else just something that's  the you know, goodness in real time real time  Give me something. It's a creative hint here that can tip me off 

It looks at  The justice system. Twelve angry men. See, that gave it That gave it away. Yeah, I know, that's like, he kept fishing,  But hey, I got it, so No, fuck you, that's bullshit. Okay, half point then.  I'll give you a quarter point. We both get a half point for that. You don't get anything because you said nothing.

No, that's bullshit. , the last one, I don't I have no idea what the last one is, but That's bullshit. So if Kyle gets this last one, he'll get two points. But if he doesn't get anything he gets that minus half point Minus quarter point titanic is not in the list good. Thanks That's so fucking pissed. I don't even see titanic in the top 30 christ.

It's such a bad movie. I don't think it's bad It's a bad movie. What are we going to learn about the titanic? We haven't already learned. It's all fictional All that bullshit's fictional. We'll never fucking know kyle would have drowned on the big door.  Andrew your guess Uh, uh, Oh, Inglorious Bastards?

Not in the top 10. , when did this movie come out Chase? 66.  Is this based on a play as well? No.

It's a three hour movie.  It's very long.  Okay I have a guess. It's not your guess. I know, but I have one ready to go. Should I just give it away to Kyle to  I mean it would tie us but Uh, three hour movie came out in 1966. A

lot of hats in this one. A lot of hats. Yeah. Ooh. Okay. Give me something else. It's not a lot of hats in this one. Yeah. People wearing hats. Is it about something that happened in 1966 or is it a period piece? It's a period piece. It's a period piece. I have my guess.

Checks in at 8. 8 if that helps. No, that tells me everything. I know what it is.  It's a period piece that came out in 19 And they wear hats.  That's three hours long.  Mm hmm.  What kind of, what period are we talking about Chase?  Are we talking about like Victorian England? Are we talking about ancient Rome? No.

We're not talking about ancient Rome?  No.  I'm not talking about Victorian England either. Is it, is it, I'll give you this.  Think of spaghetti.  I don't, I,  spaghetti. Yeah. Okay. I think my guess is wrong, but think about Italian spaghetti.  You getting it? You get what I'm putting down here? Italian spaghetti.

1966.  , this movie's a spaghetti western.  Oh, okay. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Yeah, got it. Damn.  Right there, number 10, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly with 8. I didn't think about a Clint Eastwood, uh, uh, fucking Sergio Leone. I was gonna say Goodfellas or Chinatown. Goodfellas was wiped off because, you know, he said period piece, you know, spaghetti western.

Yeah. But I thought Chinatown, and then there was one more I was gonna say. Those were both made in the 80s though.  Chinatown was like early 70s, late 60s. I was also going to say phone flew over the cuckoo's chest. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Chinatown was, uh, or, uh, Oh, you're talking about the Jack Nicholson, never mind.

Yeah, because Chinatown was Roman Polanski and that was before he got, , kicked out of the country. Hey, his charges were dropped today. They agreed on a settlement. Today they did? Yeah. Like, today? Yes, but he's still a fugitive. The law. So we can't really come back. And he's nice. Just left the country during the investigation.

He's also 91. And where was he staying? France. He's been in France for years. Naturally. Of course he was in France where all the fucking pilots are. So that's our top 10. Sorry France. I'm just kidding. We're not. So going through the top 20 here, you got 11, Forrest Gump, 12. Lower the rings, the two towers.

Fight Club at 13, inception at 14.  Whoa. Empire Stites back at 15. The Matrix at 16 Goodfellow. 17. Okay, one Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest at 18. Damn. Interstellar at 19 and seven. At 27.  Oh seven seven with uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Morgan Friedman and Brad and Kevin. Speci Kevin, oh,  the Predator himself.  Well, that's actually a list that you should go watch for sure.

That's those are, those are all good movies. Yeah, , that's actually a really solid list. So that, that shows the difference between when people talk about greatest films of all time versus highest grossing, because none of those movies gross were even in the top 20, I believe top 20, top 30. It makes sense.

, but that's it. That's our list. We're so thankful for movies, right, Andrew? , that's all that I'm thankful for. Nothing more, nothing less. Movies, movies only. Yeah, and it looks like you guys tied again, so at some point Gonna have to ferociously, ferociously, each other.  Thanks for listening everybody to this short episode go watch some of these movies kyle Which one of these movies should everyone watch on this movie the godfather godfather and godfather part two part two   that's great thanksgiving and then we can have discussion as to which one is better.

Yeah That's a good suggestion to have according to this list godfather , so go watch these movies while you're stuffing your face full of turkey. , we'll see you guys next time
