Episode Overview

Bill Simmons, alongside Sean Fennessey and Chris Ryan, celebrates turning 50 by revealing his personal, painstakingly curated list of the 50 most rewatchable movies from the 21st century (2001–2025). The group goes through each pick, dissecting what makes a movie endlessly rewatchable, debating oversights, and riffing on personal favorites and family favorites. The episode is filled with signature Rewatchables banter, nostalgic storytelling, sharp industry analysis, and honest debates about taste and legacy.

Main Structure & Key Sections

1. Setup & Caveats

00:51–08:59

• Bill explains the genesis of his list and clarifies it’s a personal ranking (unapologetically subjective).
• Rules:
  • Only movies from 2001 onward; nothing from 2000 (so, no Cast Away, Almost Famous, Gladiator).
  • Family rewatchables (e.g., The Holiday, Love Actually) not counted if he’s not watching by choice.
  • No documentaries.
  • Doesn’t include movies his kids chose repeatedly (Mid90s, Big Time Adolescence).
  • Favored older movies over newer ones due to time with them.
  • Streaming-first releases only rarely included.
• Ongoing bit: Sean and Chris lob rapid-fire guesses and jokes about what the podcast episode will be about (“merch haul,” “Rewatchables blind,” “shooting a porn,” etc.).
• Quick caveats on how family taste and rewatching habits affect the list.

"Most important, they're just mine. This is my list."
— Bill Simmons (03:32)

2. Picks #50–41: Unexpected & Underdog Choices

10:20–22:40

• Bill dives right in, counting down from #50 to #41, explaining the unique “rewatchability” factor of each.
• Debate on singer-actor careers (e.g., Ashton Kutcher in A Lot Like Love), and why some unlikely movies hold up over time (Just Go With It, Flight, Equalizer).
• Strong focus on pure personal/family joy versus critical reputation.
• Sicario (#41) gets banter about Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, and movie’s dark edges.

Notable Quotes:

• “I put a lot of thought into this. I made a list. I moved stuff around. I went crazy.” — Bill (03:22)
• “No 2000 movies, okay? Belong to the last century.” — Bill (04:16)
• “I just think [documentaries are] a different argument.” — Bill (05:51)

---

3. Picks #40–31: Comfort Watches & Canon Classics

23:42–39:16

• More mainstream entries start showing up: Collateral (#40), Mean Girls (#39), multiple Denzels (Man on Fire).
• Discussions touch on aging, geography, and family compatibility.
• Clear delight in banged-to-death comedies and “cable movie” phenomena.
• Top Gun: Maverick lands relatively low on the list because Bill feels he hasn’t had enough years to give it the true “endless rewatch” crown.

Notable Quotes:

• “If it's kidnapping, I'm there.” — Bill (09:17)
• “Every car also comes with a seven day money back guarantee…” — Sean (tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at an ad read) (23:14)

---

4. Picks #30–21: Personal Comforts & Modern Staples

39:16–58:13

• Garden State and Blackhat show Bill embracing movies with polarizing or dated reputations.
• Proof of Life triggers an extended, loving riff on Russell Crowe, Caruso, and the “hostage negotiator” melodrama.
• Frequent guest cross-examination about the mechanics of rewatchability (“Why didn’t you pick that?” “Is this Kutcher’s last appearance?”).
• A Star is Born and Get Out (2017) included as newer rewatchables already baked into Simmons household.
• Hardball and Moneyball reinforce Bill's sports-movie bias.
• Dark Knight discussion leads to lengthy Joker-vs-Bane riff.

Notable Quotes:

• “My favorite scene in Taken is when he shoots Jean Claude’s wife in the arm…” — Bill (75:34)
• “It's one of the rare movies on this list my wife, my daughter, and I all like equally.” — Bill on Mean Girls (26:32)
• “Sometimes they shoot their wad in the first five innings.” — Bill on Wedding Crashers (19:58)

---

5. Picks #20–11: Consensus “Classics” & Generational Markers

59:08–71:47

• Den of Thieves and No Country for Old Men represent pure adrenaline and pure craft.
• Bridesmaids and This Is The End spark conversations about the lost art of R-rated ensemble comedies.
• Limitless makes a shocking leap up the list—Bill admits he can’t explain his affection: “Do you. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie over the last 10 years.” (65:03)
• Old School, Fast Five, and Step Brothers round out a run that’s hilariously heavy on man-children, cool heists, and endless one-liners.
• “Comedy classic” is openly debated—does rewatchability favor comedy more than drama?

---

6. Picks #10–1: The Final Stretch & Top Rewatchables

71:47–88:34

#10–6:

• Step Brothers
• Taken
• Superbad
• The Hangover
• Miami Vice

Key insight: Comedies dominate the very top for honest personal/family reasons, while Miami Vice (a divisive, “midlife guy” cult classic) gets a passionate defense.

#5:

The Departed

• Universally beloved by the group (and listeners), with jokes about doing a “three-parted” episode.

#4:

The Town

• Outpaces Departed for Bill on the “Boston rewatch-o-meter” due to personal connections and endless cable play.

#3:

Anchorman

• An all-timer for the entire group; astonishing it hasn’t had an episode yet.
• “It’s the comedy I’ve seen rewatched, relived, cracked open the most times.”—Bill (83:49)

#2:

The Social Network

• “Perfect for a rewatchable standpoint. Jumping in anytime.”—Bill (85:03)
• Group discusses its growing modern relevance, upcoming sequel, and flawless execution.

#1:

The Devil Wears Prada

• Surprise—but, for Bill’s house, it’s “absolute rewatchables perfection.”
• “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 favorite movie, but I always get sucked in.”—Bill (86:46)
• All agree it’s endlessly entertaining, cross-generational, and never lost its appeal.

“I think Devil Wears Prada will be on for this entire century. It's weirdly ageless. I don't see it, like, losing steam.” — Bill (88:05)

Memorable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• On Family Movie Dynamics:
  "There's sometimes when you're the offensive coordinator, but then the head coach says, I'm going to call the fourth quarter here. And that's—that's a whole genre of movies I didn't include."
  — Bill Simmons (05:14)

• Roasting Blackhat:
  “It’s an incoherent failure. I don’t know what else to say.”
  — Sean Fennessey (34:03)

• Limitless, Unfiltered:
  "Do you. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie over the last 10 years."
  — Bill Simmons (65:03)

• Anchorman’s power:
  "I laugh to a point where I feel like I'm hallucinating when I watch this movie."
  — Sean Fennessey (83:57)

• On The Devil Wears Prada:
  "Perfectly done. It's really well acted. Anne Hathaway and Blunt are fantastic in it. Streep. It's probably my favorite Meryl Streep performance... I think we achieve rewatchables perfection."
  — Bill Simmons (86:56–87:27)

---

Recurring Themes & Insights

• Rewatchability is deeply personal: Childhood nostalgia, where you live, and who you watch with shapes the list as much as cinematic quality.
• Family and spouse taste are critical: Bill repeatedly notes movies on the list as “all Simmonds family watches” or jokes about “offensive coordinating” for the living room.
• Comedies and “hangout” movies win: The flexibility to start watching midway, to join a movie in progress, or to dip in and out tips the scale heavily in favor of certain films.
• Adolescent-2000s movies loom large: The group laughs about how different a 1980s/1990s list would be but embraces the All-Time Cables of the 2000s-2010s.

Final Reflections & Wrap-Up

The episode wraps with the group reflecting on how these lists shift over time, how family and living arrangements tweak one’s private canon, and how certain surprise picks like Devil Wears Prada or Blackhat become touchstones. The absence of Zodiac is lamented (“Zodiac was supposed to be on this. I knew I was going to make a mistake.” — Bill (94:34)), and there’s a gleeful promise to revisit missed movies and possibly revisit their entire approach to “rewatchability.”

"There's no way to do it perfectly... but I tried." — Bill Simmons (95:29)

---

For New Listeners

This episode is a love letter to the movies that fill in the corners of our lives—sometimes the “greatest,” often the most comforting, occasionally the ones we never expected to enjoy so much. As always, The Rewatchables crew leans into deep dives, playful debates, and pure movie enthusiasm. Whether you agree with every pick or not, you’ll come away with a rich sense of how movies shape memories and foster family lore.

[Sean Fantasy]

Uh huh.

[Chris Ryan]

Sean Fantasy. Hi host 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. What did you think this was?

[Sean Fantasy]

There was. There's always the possibility of a surprise guest with you.

[Chris Ryan]

You.

[Sean Fantasy]

You sometimes dangle a surprise guest. I have.

[Chris Ryan]

You were worried about Chalamet like sh.

[Sean Fantasy]

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 them all to yourself, right? You guys have a lot to talk about.

[Chris Ryan]

Who knows, I'm a pretty gener.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

House or a Rewatchables mailbag.

[Chris Ryan]

Really good guess what you think, Sean?

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Rivalry Pod Studio porn. Yeah, Heated Rivalry podcast.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

That was a different Idea.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, this one Needed to.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Merch haul unboxing.

[Sean Fantasy]

Like a ebay haul or maybe some physical media or something like that.

[Chris Ryan]

None of those are the answers.

[Craig Horbeck]

Five year Oscars?

[Chris Ryan]

Nope. Okay, so Sean did the 25 for 25.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, shit.

[Chris Ryan]

It's almost done.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay. Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

How many are left?

[Craig Horbeck]

Two more.

[Chris Ryan]

Two more.

[Craig Horbeck]

Number two and number one.

[Chris Ryan]

What was number three?

[Craig Horbeck]

Number three was 25th hour.

[Chris Ryan]

Very controversial that it was that high.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes, but one of my favorite movies of all time.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Who was on the rewatchable?

[Chris Ryan]

I was on the.

[Craig Horbeck]

I don't remember.

[Chris Ryan]

I don't remember anything we've done.

[Craig Horbeck]

I think it was Wesley.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow. Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

I'm going to tackle them from 50 to 1. And most important, they're just mine. This is my list.

[Craig Horbeck]

I have a million questions. Yeah, first question. How many of them have appeared on the show already?

[Chris Ryan]

Probably somewhere between 80 and 85%. Okay.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay, that's cool.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

We fudged that, but. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Did you fudge it?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Did you use a 2000 movie?

[Craig Horbeck]

We used two. I think we had one 2000 movie, but I forgot what it is. I know.

[Chris Ryan]

I've heard this belongs to the last century.

[Craig Horbeck]

You're right. You're right. We should have done it in 2024, but whatever.

[Chris Ryan]

So one of my things is no 2000 movies, okay. Belong to the last century. So you don't get cast away. You don't get Almost Famous, you don't get Gladiator, you don't get. Remember the Titans? Whole bunch of them.

[Sean Fantasy]

We don't get.

[Chris Ryan]

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 gonna rule out the Holiday.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay. One of the worst movies of the century.

[Chris Ryan]

That movie's been on all the time in my house. And Love actually is another one.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Basically, all the Nancy Myers movies, my wife's watching those. I'm kind of jumping in and out, but I'm not. Those aren't my choices.

[Sean Fantasy]

So in case there was like a Nielsen audit of, like, what is actually played in the Simmons house, the most.

[Chris Ryan]

People would be like, where's the holiday? It should be like, 8.

[Sean Fantasy]

Wife had the holiday up on the big screen. You have Pacers Bucks on the little screen.

[Chris Ryan]

There's sometimes when you're the offensive coordinator, but then the head coach says, I'm going to call the fourth quarter here. And that's. That's a whole genre of movies I didn't include.

[Craig Horbeck]

So you're saying in this. These scenarios, your wife is Dan King.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Right.

[Chris Ryan]

I haven't seen this in nine months. It's time.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is the CR by the way. CR Famous for Go. He goes to a restaurant, he and his wife, they love it. And then three days later, they just go back. They're like, I want to keep going.

[Chris Ryan]

Exact same.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

I like to. I. It's usually an atmosphere thing. It's a feeling, not necessarily.

[Craig Horbeck]

Not the food.

[Sean Fantasy]

Meal.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, I left out documentaries.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

I don't know if that's fair.

[Craig Horbeck]

We actually. We did the same thing. We didn't do anything.

[Chris Ryan]

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 they were always his choice or him trying to watch it. So 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

I would love to know Ben's letter of Boxed four.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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 and the 2010s. So, like, 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 to. And I feel like 10 years from now, it will be on there. But compared to the other ones I have on this list.

[Craig Horbeck]

So you basically have nothing after 19?

[Sean Fantasy]

No, I.

[Chris Ryan]

No, I have a couple in there.

[Sean Fantasy]

From after 19 in my mind. I'm starting to generate ideas here. Yeah, I bet.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

So that's it. That's everything I've laid out. And I made a list of 50.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

And I was just gonna go 50 to 1, and we could just talk quickly about each one, or I could just keep going, but you could basically, like, whammy. Stop.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

That's it actually kind of is with a couple of these. But Zoe's on a whole other level. She's watching entire Grey's Anatomy, you know, start to finish. She's watching all of those.

[Sean Fantasy]

She's more of a TV person.

[Chris Ryan]

Summer I turn pretty. Yeah, she's way more TV than the movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

Zoe on the watch is what you're saying.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Well, then the movies she's watching are the stuff like where somebody meets in high school and the guy dies, but then his angels still calling him a corps, kind of. Yeah, all that stuff.

[Craig Horbeck]

Got it. Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

All right, here we go.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I just made that up. Yeah. I should trade my regretting you about.

[Sean Fantasy]

Are they angels, or are they just in what movie? Regretting you.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's not angels.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Isn't it like, two people's partners die in a car accident, and then the two people, like, kind of sort through their feelings about them kind of thing?

[Chris Ryan]

The other two.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, but they were kind of love.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

There's a lot of, like, parental who's the real daddy? Stuff going on in the paternity kind of stuff?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

That's cool.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Really enjoy her. Would love to see her on a nice little prestige something.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

She should at least been like, Shiv Roy's like best friend on all.

[Craig Horbeck]

Did you both watch that show?

[Sean Fantasy]

I watched the first one and then my first episode. Yeah. And my wife burned through it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay, you watched all of it?

[Chris Ryan]

Bang through it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

If. If it's kidnapping, I'm there. I don't even need.

[Sean Fantasy]

You've only settled into a trash prestige like zone. Like you love beast in me. All her fault.

[Chris Ryan]

Like that beast of me is better than all our fault.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

I, My, my, 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Sean Fantasy]

Right.

[Chris Ryan]

I'm like half watching.

[Craig Horbeck]

Right, Right.

[Chris Ryan]

Pluribus. I heard there's cannibalism. I might be back. Well, I only saw the first one kind of.

[Sean Fantasy]

I won't comment on that.

[Craig Horbeck]

How's Snook doing these days of Mr.

[Chris Ryan]

You know, I think we found out there weren't a lot of out pitches other than the splitter.

[Craig Horbeck]

I see. But it's a nasty splitter, though.

[Chris Ryan]

Really good splitter.

[Craig Horbeck]

Great bite on that notch.

[Chris Ryan]

I'm not sure there's.

[Sean Fantasy]

She would be great as the third starter on the Dodgers, but maybe not the ace of the Pirates kind of thing, right?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

She needs to. Maybe even the number five starter in the Dodgers.

[Craig Horbeck]

You know, it's never too late to develop a change up. That's something that I like to say.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

I think she's great.

[Chris Ryan]

My top 50 going down from 50 to 1. Number 50. Just go with it. Adam Sandler.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is a Simmons family classic.

[Chris Ryan]

Jennifer Aniston. There's a Nicole Kidman and 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's the one that's kind of a mystery.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

He either runs a sports store or he's a plastic surgeon.

[Chris Ryan]

I've seen this movie 30 times and he's dating Brooklyn Decker.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes, that's what this movie is best.

[Chris Ryan]

And they're about to get married. But Aniston goes on the vacation with him. And then he's starting to realize he might have feelings for her and not Brooklyn Decker. And hijinks and misunderstandings ensue. But we're in Hawaii the whole time. This movie's just delivered the goods for the Simmons family ever since it came out.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Number 49. About to already get controversial.

[Sean Fantasy]

Can I ask you just a quick question? Between 50 and 49, any metrics applied to this stuff? Like, was there any number of rewatches?

[Chris Ryan]

No, just mentally how many times I've dived in. Do I own it? Is it something my wife and I like? Equally like those kinds of things. Which brings us to 49 a lot like Love with Amanda Pete and Ashton Kutcher.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

This movie came out 21 years ago. It's the best work Ashton Kutcher's ever done.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

It is a great answer for the if you had Amanda Pete season tickets, why wasn't she Julie Roberts?

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

The music is exceptional.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

A lot like love.

[Chris Ryan]

A lot like.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

It's really good.

[Sean Fantasy]

I don't think I've ever seen this.

[Chris Ryan]

It's really good.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did see A Mandate a sushi restaurant the other week and fully did the Alonzo Morning gif where I was just.

[Craig Horbeck]

Like.

[Sean Fantasy]

We still got it.

[Craig Horbeck]

So first two have not appeared on the rewatchables.

[Chris Ryan]

They have not. A Lot Like Love is on some sort of list.

[Craig Horbeck]

You're circling it.

[Chris Ryan]

One thing with A Lot like Love that I like. I like this 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Of like, what he left on the table.

[Chris Ryan]

He's really good in this movie. I'm. I'm telling you, I would defend Ashton Kutcher in this movie to death. That my wife. It's like One of her favorite. Why didn't he have a bigger career actors, Even though I get. Because you could say he did have a big career.

[Sean Fantasy]

I mean, isn't the big sliding door. I wonder. I mean, I. I think Cameron Crowe movie is Elizabethtown, right?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Top five performances by Kutcher right now. Let's do it. Number five, the Guardian with Kevin Costner.

[Chris Ryan]

See, he's number four.

[Craig Horbeck]

What's that movie where he seduces Anne Heche? What's it called? It's not split. It's.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm honestly struggling to think.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

IMDb. I mean, like he was on the ranch for like five, six years. He was on.

[Chris Ryan]

He did one of those best friend fall in love movies where it was like him and Mila Kunis or him with somebody like Mila Kunis. Yeah, it was like one of those.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

What about his portrayal of Steve Jobs in the movie?

[Sean Fantasy]

Steve Jobs kind of got nuked off the face of the earth by the other Jobs movie.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, a lot. Like Love's 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. And then him and Amanda Pete, they keep running into each other and then near the end, they realize they're in love.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

It's a good rom com.

[Craig Horbeck]

Is this Kutcher's last appearance on the list?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, number 48, knocked up.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, yeah, 48 knock.

[Craig Horbeck]

A lot like love and Knocked Up Just like this.

[Chris Ryan]

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. And there's a couple of movies on this list where from a rewatchable standpoint.

[Sean Fantasy]

Like when it first starts and he's with all his friends and stuff like.

[Chris Ryan]

That great first hour. I love everything. Leslie Mann's insane in it. And there's some really good friend stuff. There's some classic, like, appetize stuff. It's young Seth Rogen, Heigl, probably peak of her powers. Whatever powers those were.

[Craig Horbeck]

The floor is yours.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, this movie really falls apart. But from a rewatchable standpoint. And I can't remember, did we do it when does it fall last? Like, 25 minutes.

[Sean Fantasy]

When he, like, puts it all.

[Chris Ryan]

They're having a kid and it's. We did it on rewatch.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

It's a good movie. See, we've had 25 years. I mean, it's like Knocked Up 48, but we've had a lot of movies. Number 47, Flight. We've done this on rewatch.

[Sean Fantasy]

We have.

[Chris Ryan]

It's hilarious that it's so rewatchable, but it really is. And we covered all the reasons when we did the podcast about it.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

The scene where they ask Lane Kiffin.

[Sean Fantasy]

Like, where he's been the last two.

[Craig Horbeck]

Weeks, when he breaks into the mini fridge in the hotel and feeling all right hits. That was me when all the Mets news was happening this week. I was just like, where's the fucking vodka? What's.

[Chris Ryan]

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 down on my iPad. A big signature event that, you know, Castaway has is 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's 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

One of my favorite trailers just because it's mostly the crash with Feeling all right and Kimmy Shelter, which is just like 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.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Sean Fantasy]

And I think the Flight Plane crash would go pretty high for me on this.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, there's more than that.

[Sean Fantasy]

I think the over.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

Including the next movie. Number 46, the Equalizer. Wow. Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is really fun.

[Chris Ryan]

Just a textbook rewatchable. Yeah, textbook.

[Craig Horbeck]

So I know.

[Sean Fantasy]

Do you think there's more than one Equalizer on this list?

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I know the great thing about the Equalizer franchise, it's not like the Taken franchise, where Taken one is clearly best, two second best. And then three is like, all right, fine.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yep.

[Chris Ryan]

Equalizer. There are people who are like, E3 is my.

[Sean Fantasy]

E3 is Italy, right?

[Craig Horbeck]

E3 is Italy. Yeah. And it looks great. And he's like, retired and become like a pasta maker or something. It's ridiculous.

[Sean Fantasy]

But Pedro Pascal is equalizer 2, right? Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Really good movie. Wish they just made more movies like the Equalizer.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I just feel like we could be banging these out with any male action star we have. I don't know what's. What we're doing wrong.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

What do we have in this movie? Is it Albanians or Equalizer one? Equalizer one. It's somebody. It's one of those.

[Sean Fantasy]

Not the Russian mob, maybe.

[Chris Ryan]

Maybe it's just Russians because he goes.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

First sports movie, number 45, Miracle.

[Craig Horbeck]

Mm. What year is that?

[Chris Ryan]

2004 range.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, we did do this already.

[Chris Ryan]

We did do that one.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Really good movie.

[Chris Ryan]

Has some good jump in things. Has some good throw down in the background moments. Some good speeches.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Russell.

[Chris Ryan]

Some good Russell.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Fun to relive us beating the Russians. Number 44 movie we have not done on rewatchables. Borat.

[Craig Horbeck]

Mm. Holds up. Rewatch it during COVID Some really fun.

[Chris Ryan]

Stretches from a rewatchable standpoint.

[Sean Fantasy]

That's some of the hardest I've ever laughed in my life.

[Chris Ryan]

Really, really, really good. It's almost 20 years old next year. 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. Like, there's just some really deeply funny shit.

[Craig Horbeck]

You like the wrestling scene in the hotel room?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Great job by Asimat. Another comedy, number 43, Wedding Crashers.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, that's. I. I would imagine Wedding Crashers would have been a little higher.

[Chris Ryan]

So really, really strong first hour.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

It's another one where it's like, first hour. Wow, I'm in. And then you don't kind of care if you finish it. But some Great ones.

[Sean Fantasy]

You don't like it when comedies get sad?

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

The negotiation with Yoakum and then into the. The montage with De Mornay.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, it's aged in a really interesting way.

[Sean Fantasy]

Mouth, when you're talking to me.

[Chris Ryan]

It'S aged because. Age. Well, because of Bradley Cooper. It's just funny to see him not knowing he's gonna be famous yet. But then also, what's his face? The unblankin.

[Sean Fantasy]

Christopher Walken.

[Chris Ryan]

No, the. The. What's the name of the guy who plays the derange brother?

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, Will Ferrell.

[Chris Ryan]

No, he's the one, the younger guy, the younger brother, whatever that guy's name is.

[Craig Horbeck]

I can't remember.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, the one who does the painting.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

He was a. Todd.

[Sean Fantasy]

Todd.

[Chris Ryan]

Worst case there for Ben for a long time. The touch football scene was great.

[Craig Horbeck]

I just think at that moment in time, Vaughn and no one Wilson had something things special chemistry wise, like, you know, and they tried to recreate it in movies after that and they couldn't ever get back to that specifically, but they were really fun together.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, we really know them. Talk about it and be like, they won't let us make an R rated movie, basically. And it's just like you guys, you.

[Craig Horbeck]

Just want to watch Vince Vaughn grab Jane Seymour's breast again. That's something that's important to you.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Number 41, Sicario.

[Sean Fantasy]

41. Well, you can't. Are you going to talk about it? What are you going to do? You talk about it.

[Chris Ryan]

Not going to talk about it.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

I'll talk about it if you want. It's a film directed by Denis 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 our.

[Chris Ryan]

Favorite people in it.

[Craig Horbeck]

You know, Benicio Del Toro.

[Chris Ryan]

Really good Emily Blunt performance.

[Sean Fantasy]

Emily Blunt.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Bernthal.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, Bernthal, sure.

[Chris Ryan]

Solid movie. We might have to do it at some point in the rewatchables you didn't react to.

[Sean Fantasy]

I sent Shawn the same clip. The clip of Bernthal talking to Shia LaBeouf.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, I loved it.

[Sean Fantasy]

Working at Home Depot.

[Craig Horbeck]

The poetry of me.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

That's something you think you could do?

[Craig Horbeck]

He's like, I'm there all the time. I'm there all the time. I love it.

[Chris Ryan]

All right, we'll take a break and then we'll do the top 40. Focus Features presents the new movie Song Sung Blue, starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as two down on their luck performers who fall in love and form a Neil diamond tribute band.

And now Kate Hudson is a Golden Globe nominee for best actress based on a true story about never giving up on your dreams. Song Sun Blue Rated Pt 13 Directed by Craig Brewer.

[Chris Ryan]

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 and never thought it would be a movie I watched multiple, multiple times over the next 20 years.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Careful, he disagrees with you.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

We didn't do this on 25 or 25, but maybe I made a mistake on that. This is like.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did you do a Michael Mann?

[Craig Horbeck]

No, this is high up there on my list.

[Chris Ryan]

Fucking hater.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. So Thief and Heater always won two for me, but this Manhunter and Insider are in like a death match for three. And I, I, I love this movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

It's definitely not.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

I think from a rewatchable standpoint, we already did this one, but there's just a couple great scenes.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Like that scene.

[Sean Fantasy]

Hey, homie, is that my briefcase?

[Chris Ryan]

The jazz club scene.

[Craig Horbeck]

Incredible.

[Chris Ryan]

When that guy realizes that Cruz is. What's going on? Like, I don't know. There's.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

What year did this come out?

[Chris Ryan]

0506.

[Craig Horbeck]

I'm gonna say right around when we met.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

I did a task panel talk recently, and I was like, I didn't even have a question. I was just like, mark Ruffalo, you were in Collateral? And he was like, yeah, man, cool. I was like, you had that goatee, right? And he was just like, yo, you're.

[Chris Ryan]

Trying to find that guy. Number 39, mean girls.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Yeah. Good call. Very good.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

You've done this on the rewatchable. We did it.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Didn't like the musicals. French, 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Hilarious. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Tina Fey is good. Script's good. Whole thing's good. Big win.

[Craig Horbeck]

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. Like, the. The idea of it is never going to expire. And it's like going into, like, high school is really hard and really hard on girls. I think it's all the time with my daughter. It's like, that movie is just going to be around for another 100 years.

[Chris Ryan]

It's one of the rare movies on this list that my wife, my daughter, and me all, like, equally.

[Sean Fantasy]

Does Ben like it?

[Chris Ryan]

He's probably watched it once. Fine. Number 38 man on fire.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Craig Horbeck]

Two Denzels. Three. Three Denzel.

[Chris Ryan]

So we're up to three already.

[Craig Horbeck]

First, Tony Scott.

[Chris Ryan]

This is a weird one because some people don't like this movie, and I just want to fight them.

[Sean Fantasy]

Who doesn't like this movie?

[Chris Ryan]

Just some people are like, too long. Tony Scott. Little over the top. Even when we did it, I didn't feel like there was enough excitement that we did it on rewatch.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I was like, this is. Might be my favorite Denzel performance. People are like, that's. Don't say that. That's crazy. I'm like, I'm going to say it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Is his name John Creasy?

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah. He paints his masterpiece.

[Chris Ryan]

Really great child actress performance by. By Dakota, too.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Awesome loops.

[Sean Fantasy]

Background for Equalizer 3, right?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Right.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Last Tony Scott movie on this list.

[Sean Fantasy]

I bet not.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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 out. But I. But I think for the last. For that. When did it come out?

[Craig Horbeck]

21, 22.

[Sean Fantasy]

22.

[Chris Ryan]

I think for this decade, it's. It might be the one I've seen the most.

[Sean Fantasy]

Would you say this is the best hype to release to? Like, kind of. This is the best, like, movie experience so far of the decade?

[Chris Ryan]

Like, from beginning, middle, end of when we heard about it.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

How Getting ready for it to come out. Then it came out.

[Sean Fantasy]

Dudes saluting the screen when those credits are rolling.

[Craig Horbeck]

I think, like, like, culturally, more broadly. Sure. I mean, it is the movie that is considered to have brought back movies, and everybody had so much fun with it. And it's also a movie that everybody was like, yeah, I saw three times. Like, that was normal to go see it three times. Because people love the feeling of It. It's also just like really well made. Like really well. Like it's a. It is a cut above even that. You know, 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Speaking of most YouTube scenes, I probably watch the like from Jon Ham going, send him to Maverick blowing up. Like that 10 minute stretch is perfect. It's so good.

[Chris Ryan]

My favorite rewatchable scene though is obviously the love scene with him. And Jennifer Connell is just laughing, man, after sailing. Absolute height of the funniest stuff.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

The funniest minute of Cruz's career.

[Sean Fantasy]

It was just like a Nathan for you episode.

[Chris Ryan]

In the middle of that, CR and I, we did this for rewatch was during like, everyone stay away from each other Covid. Times came over and we did it in my little pool house. But we were as far apart as possible doing it. Yeah, that's how important it was to do it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Did you guys give each other Covid?

[Sean Fantasy]

I didn't get until I went to England.

[Chris Ryan]

That's 37. Number 36, lost in translation.

[Craig Horbeck]

Hey. Also been on the show.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Where are you at on Bill Murray these days? Underrated. Overrated too. Caught in the slipstream of controversy.

[Chris Ryan]

I think he's properly rated. Okay.

[Craig Horbeck]

Did you watch the John Candy documentary? I did. Thought that was interesting. I guess I don't associate Bill Murray with John Candy for some reason.

[Chris Ryan]

But then it feels like all those people are kind of overlapping with all each other in all these different ways.

[Craig Horbeck]

There are tons of crossover.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did they ever make a movie together?

[Craig Horbeck]

They did. What was the movie?

[Chris Ryan]

Somewhere in the 80s they made something together.

[Craig Horbeck]

Gosh.

[Chris Ryan]

What movie did they make together for Lost in Translation? Really?

[Craig Horbeck]

Stripes. Stripes. Thank you.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, yeah, that's right. He was ox. I was just blanking. I like going to another country for rewatchable. I've never been in Japan. Just fun to go.

[Sean Fantasy]

You think you'll go?

[Chris Ryan]

No. Scarlett Johansson's great. She's. I went. I saw this movie. I didn't need to go.

[Craig Horbeck]

That's why you're the best.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Craig Horbeck]

So is there three more Sophias on the list or two more. Bling Ring?

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, somewhere.

[Sean Fantasy]

There's zero what's the one where, like, everybody makes love to all the women want to be with? Was it Colin Farrell?

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, the Beguiled. Yeah. The Beguiled. No, didn't make the list.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Sean Fantasy]

Garden State. Above some films there.

[Chris Ryan]

What do you mean? Well, what's that supposed to be?

[Sean Fantasy]

Knowing what I know about you, I would think that, say you thought it.

[Chris Ryan]

Would have been higher on the list.

[Sean Fantasy]

I thought it would be, like, closer to, like, the. The 40s. Like, high. Like, high 40s. If it would be in here. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Really like the music.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

It's pretty straightforward. Yes, he's fine.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I think the concept of somebody whose life kind of sucks going home, and they're kind of a hero, even though they shouldn't be.

[Sean Fantasy]

Undefeated. Undefeated.

[Chris Ryan]

The. I think Skarsgard's amazing in this movie with the. As the funeral guy.

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

And I think the music's just great.

[Craig Horbeck]

I.

[Chris Ryan]

It's honestly one. It's a, like, a little, like, a lot, like, love where it's just a fun hang.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Portman's really good. Number 34, black hat.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow. Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

I can't apologize. The heart wants what the heart wants. It was. 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

They're gonna have a shootout in this, like, nuclear reactor. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Thailand.

[Sean Fantasy]

No. Isn't it all Like Singapore or something like that. Singapore.

[Chris Ryan]

Wherever we are.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

The nuclear meltdown is in China. Is in China.

[Chris Ryan]

Mike, Man.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's an incoherent failure. I don't know what else to say.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's an awesome movie.

[Chris Ryan]

See, this is.

[Craig Horbeck]

I've been teasing Chris about this movie. I just don't think you. For this movie you haven't watched 10 years properly.

[Sean Fantasy]

You didn't watch. Yeah, like the. On ludes, the FX version.

[Craig Horbeck]

The.

[Sean Fantasy]

The director with lots of commercials so.

[Craig Horbeck]

I can take a break and read up on what is actually transpiring in the film.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Stuff of legends.

[Chris Ryan]

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 realize it was. And I will. I will die thinking that.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

It would be really hard to accept.

[Chris Ryan]

Crow would have been the most shocking of the thing.

[Craig Horbeck]

Crow would have been stunning. Although Crow kind of having a little moment here. Nuremberg is doing pretty well at the box office. You know, I'm not. The Nuremberg trials. Those were some. That was 80 years ago.

[Sean Fantasy]

That did not mistake. That was a box office flop.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Tony Gilroy and Taylor Hackford.

[Craig Horbeck]

Taylor Hack.

[Sean Fantasy]

The surest pair of hands.

[Craig Horbeck]

Honestly. Yes. Off the incredible success of the Devil's Advocate.

[Sean Fantasy]

And this is what. We're still not entirely sure, but we're pretty certain that Helen Mirren has heard the rewatchables because of the Proof of Life.

[Craig Horbeck]

You're pretty sure?

[Sean Fantasy]

Well, we. We know Taylor Hackford has. And she might have been in the car while he was listening. He was listening.

[Chris Ryan]

Caruso within all time. DM Waiters. I don't know if it's number one, but it's first ballot.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, we could have named it the Caruso.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Watch Proof of Life for the first time?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Is there. Is it available on 4K?

[Sean Fantasy]

Good question. Oh, probably not.

[Chris Ryan]

Probably not.

[Craig Horbeck]

Maybe I do have a Taylor Hackford stack at home. You know, Dolores Claiborne.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, wow.

[Craig Horbeck]

Officer and a Gentleman.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

It's really great. It moves. A bunch of good times there. 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 that I missed the scene in the bathroom?

[Craig Horbeck]

How much? Like, on a scale of 0% to 100%, how much? What percentage is this movie on the list? Just because you love doing the Caruso lines.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

And. And also.

[Craig Horbeck]

Is that what it's about?

[Chris Ryan]

Well, also, Phoebe. PHOEBE negotiating for CR, and they're like, they want 700. And Meg Ryan's like, yeah, I don't know. I can get to six. Like, you just start putting your life in context of jungle looking insane.

[Sean Fantasy]

And like, Chris Briney from the Summer I Turned Pretty is trying to negotiate for my release.

[Chris Ryan]

This movie is awesome. And it's got a great ending. It ends with an awesome band. Morrison song. Everything about it.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

This movie's a tour de force. Kidnapping number 32, a star is Born.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

The Bradley Cooper edition.

[Sean Fantasy]

Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

A little louder.

[Chris Ryan]

Big, big fan all the way through the Simmons house. Except for my son.

[Craig Horbeck]

Quality flick. Big fan of this movie.

[Chris Ryan]

First hour is just great.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Second hour, you know, it gets a little sad, but I also think the. The him pissing on himself at the Oscars or Grammys is now hilarious. Not hilarious in the theater, but now, like, really funny.

[Craig Horbeck]

Is it the VMAs?

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, just some elite. Sam Elliott.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Really good couple. Like, five really good songs. And then the ending song. Lady Gaga. Probably the best work of anything she's ever done.

[Craig Horbeck]

She's incredible in the movie.

[Chris Ryan]

Really well done. He's a good director.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I did.

[Craig Horbeck]

How's it going? How's Layman going?

[Sean Fantasy]

There's nothing like it. There's just nothing like it.

[Chris Ryan]

I didn't love episode four.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

It was a transition episode because it was too dark, too sad. Just give me every 30 minutes. There needs to be some sort of oil well blows up or something happens. Somebody's in danger.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is more about loss. Generational trauma.

[Craig Horbeck]

I see. Yeah. That's too bad.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 31. I think it's going to surprise both of you. I've not done it on the rewatchables. Chris is having a great time. I can tell from his body language.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Can I guess?

[Chris Ryan]

No, you won't guess it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Funny people.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

We just talked about this because it's J. Kelly and how it's underrated.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

But it's kind of entertaining.

[Chris Ryan]

But now after rewatching a bunch of times, I'm okay with the second half. Is this.

[Craig Horbeck]

I've gotten Leslie man stuff.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

That sounds right. I don't know. I'm sure. I mean, there's always a longer cut with an Apatow movie. Right.

[Chris Ryan]

His kids are in it. And now Mod's famous. Like, that part's kind of fun from a watchful standpoint. But directed her first movie. The first hour of this movie is lights out. And when he finds out that he doesn't have cancer and they have the party for him. And that is one of the funniest six minute scenes ever. And it ends with Eminem gets mad at Ray Romano.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

And then somebody. Somebody says to him, I thought everybody loved Raymond. And it's just like, seen. It's just like, perfect.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I love this movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

You were not a J. Kelly guy.

[Chris Ryan]

Didn't like it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Did you see it?

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay. That's. I Think that's okay.

[Chris Ryan]

You liked it more than both of us.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. But didn't love it. I liked it.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I thought you'd be more surprised by 30 people. I really thought that was going to get a huge.

[Sean Fantasy]

Seems like.

[Craig Horbeck]

Well, for one, you know, of Sandman, I'm just. That's. That's.

[Chris Ryan]

That's the biggest thing. I think this is the best acting he's done in a movie. So this and this.

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, him and Rogan are so good together.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

So we got two Sandmans and three Denzels thus far.

[Chris Ryan]

I love when they go. When they go to the brain doctor guy and he talks like the Die Hard villain and they're just like busting his balls. This movie's so good.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I still don't know why they decided to do the last 35 minutes the.

[Craig Horbeck]

Way they did it.

[Chris Ryan]

It's very strange. But I think the more I've watched it, I think the Leslie Mann character is a parody of just like a. 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. Apatow's trying to say something about actresses, like maybe don't stay away from them. Even though he's married to one person.

[Craig Horbeck]

He's married to one. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Heads into a whole other interesting.

[Craig Horbeck]

It does feel like a kind of an honest portrayal of a Los Angeles lifestyle person that like, 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 kind of like, elevated class of people that, like super successful standup comic.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Baby's really good. Number 30. Get out.

[Sean Fantasy]

Huh?

[Chris Ryan]

Didn't. It's interesting. I did not have a lot of horror slash, whatever. And I realized that I don't really rewatch horror movies in the same way. Even though, like, I love the Conjuring. Conjuring two like it follows. But something about horror movies where you're not.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Or like. Like maybe like three times.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

It's the thing. It's like a mood. Whereas like the 70s 80 ones are a little safer like Amityville or Halloween, obviously. But the Omen, like, 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 like too strong. Like. Yeah, they're. They're not like the same kind of fun.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Although we did a good job making Hereditary pretty funny on the.

[Craig Horbeck]

I mean that's my whole take is. It is hilarious. But you know, the vibe is not hilarious.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Get Out. Really solid fun hang.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah. Great movie.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Allison Williams.

[Chris Ryan]

Thoroughly enjoyable. I like all the actors. The Catherine Canaan with her tea.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 29, hardball.

[Sean Fantasy]

Keanu.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Sprinkle.

[Sean Fantasy]

Some sports movies.

[Chris Ryan]

We did it. We already did this.

[Craig Horbeck]

You did it?

[Chris Ryan]

I did it with Van.

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, with Van. Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

G. Baby dying is one of the seminal events of the 21st century. I love Keanu, like gambling and drinking and kind of Diane Lane falls for him. Anyway. There's some funny, unintentional comedy stuff. The baseball stuff works. The sports stuff works. Do you think between age really well.

[Sean Fantasy]

This replacements in Point Break. He has like a secret candidacy for one of the great sports movie actors.

[Chris Ryan]

No question.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

I love it when he's just like, it was.

[Chris Ryan]

Are you in On Any Given Sunday?

[Craig Horbeck]

One of my faves. Yeah, I love it.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

You know what I noticed, like, as the years pass with quick cuts and low, it's actually works better for attention spans now. Oh, all of a sudden we're back in the 50s and there's gladiators. Jamie Foxx is back.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, like the James Wood stuff?

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

We never wound up doing that, though.

[Chris Ryan]

We're going to.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay, that was 2020.

[Chris Ryan]

Speaking of sports, number 28, Moneyball.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, no brainer. I mean, 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 gonna be. And when the music comes up and the sequence where they show the A's playing at the beginning against the Yankees in the first scene in the movie, it was like 750 people, like, basically burst out, like, screaming. They were so excited that it was Moneyball. Like, I feel like this movie has a really much bigger cultural footprint now than it did.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's also like, I feel like it's like the Ferris Bueller of movies where it's like everybody, like the hardest hardcore, like, art house guy to like the most. Like, I just watch whatever is like, on Netflix is wild.

[Craig Horbeck]

Everybody likes Moneyball. Total.

[Chris Ryan]

We did it. I think it was like one of the first ones we did.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yep.

[Chris Ryan]

Right then we did. We redo it.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Some great pit. Probably the best pit ever.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, it's definitely up there.

[Chris Ryan]

He's phenomenal and fun from a standpoint of. I can't believe it worked.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, Especially.

[Chris Ryan]

Especially when you knew about the script server stuff.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's a crazy accomplishment to really good rewatch.

[Chris Ryan]

I think Pitts. The pits. The pits. The number one reason it's such a good rewatch. So he's just so good in that movie. 27. Dark Knight.

[Craig Horbeck]

Throwing up. Throwing a bone.

[Sean Fantasy]

Now you. We did Dark Knight.

[Chris Ryan]

I wasn't.

[Sean Fantasy]

I would be. Honestly, it would be almost as important to me as Sicario is to do Dark Knight to redo it with you.

[Craig Horbeck]

One on one on one.

[Sean Fantasy]

No, I just want to see him. Like, same with Star Wars. I would love to hear Bill talk about Gotham.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's a great, great movie.

[Chris Ryan]

You know what else is great about it? The 4K Blu Ray era.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I would say it's in the top 10.

[Craig Horbeck]

All the Nolan movies look really great at home.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

No idea what you're saying.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

When they talk about like, oh, transfer.

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, the transfer. Yeah, 4K transfer.

[Chris Ryan]

It's blanking.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Have you seen Dark Knight Rises?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, I like it.

[Sean Fantasy]

Are you more into Bane or Joker?

[Chris Ryan]

Bane.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, me too.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, that checks out.

[Sean Fantasy]

Joker.

[Craig Horbeck]

Joker.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is what the spice of this pot. Two Bane guys and a Joker.

[Craig Horbeck]

You're more of a Ra Al Ghul guy to me.

[Sean Fantasy]

No, I. Bane is really important to me.

[Craig Horbeck]

He is? Yeah. Okay.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Where are they and on what platform are they running?

[Chris Ryan]

28 ballots.

[Craig Horbeck]

Like a Green party situation or what are they. Where are they running?

[Sean Fantasy]

Would you prefer like voting in election between Bane and Joker or like Trump at aoc? What would you prefer?

[Chris Ryan]

I need more time to think about Trump 3 versus AOC. This one has a good rewatchables piece of Nobody's Home. I'm just going to crank this. Like there's a couple scenes that it was like. Yeah, fuck it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, that's what Sierra thinks. When nobody's home to crank it.

[Chris Ryan]

He's cranking the crank daddy. Number 26, Ocean's 11.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Just a wonderful hanging.

[Craig Horbeck]

It is. It is. It's a great time. It's a great movie. We didn't put it on our list and I were, you know, we.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm a speculation that this was gonna be like a top three for you guys.

[Craig Horbeck]

I know. Amanda and I both love it and I don't know, we did. We overlooked it.

[Chris Ryan]

Really?

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's great. If it was a 50 movie listed for sure wouldn't have been on it.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

This is also like, right when, like all of these guys are still in some sort of peak at the same time. And, you know.

[Chris Ryan]

All right, one more break and then we'll do the top 25. This episode is brought to you by Salty Cheesy Cheez It Crackers. Should this whole podcast just be me eating Cheez It? That would be a top notch podcast. You could hear them crunching in my mouth. You could think about how salty and savory and delicious they are. You could just get Cheez it on the brain. Oh, man, those Cheez it cravings, they get you. Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah. Oh, Cheez It.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Cheez It Crackers. Go check them out. This message is brought to you by Apple Card.

[Chris Ryan]

[e-mail] all right, we're back with top 25. Number 25, Creed.

[Craig Horbeck]

Nice.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

So the list is like halfway through and you've got 12, like, classics, right? You've got your, you know, Knocked up, get out Dark Knight, get out Ocean's eleven. And then you've got, you know, a lot like love and Proof of Life.

[Chris Ryan]

Weird ones.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Is he running with the ATVs yet?

[Chris Ryan]

We're almost near the ATVs.

[Sean Fantasy]

Great.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes. We just published a big oral history of the movie on the ringer that Alan Siegel did, which is cool. Like, are the next 24. Is it like still 5050 or do you feel like when you were doing the list where you're like, I, I don't want to have too many obvious, like, these are the classics.

[Chris Ryan]

It was funny, right? As we Head to this number 24 spot. The list became way easier.

[Sean Fantasy]

Really?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, because I.

[Sean Fantasy]

That's why I was asking about metrics. There was like, the. There's like the. This is, like, my favorite movie from this period.

[Chris Ryan]

These are favorites combined with how many?

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay, Creed.

[Chris Ryan]

Which brings us to number 24. Fast and Furious 7.

[Sean Fantasy]

Which one is this?

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Long day.

[Chris Ryan]

I forget the. What are the lyrics in that song?

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I'll see you again, my friend.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

The greatest ending of any movie in the 21st century.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, Fast seven's amazing.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is this the one that. Where they drive.

[Chris Ryan]

It ends up in la.

[Sean Fantasy]

Skyscraper. Oh, okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, it's in la.

[Sean Fantasy]

I haven't seen a lot of these movies.

[Craig Horbeck]

You're thinking of Fast five, which is in Rio.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay. What's. Is there one?

[Chris Ryan]

This is really the concept of familia really kind of came together in the right ways.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, it's your management style.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Did you do this on the show? Yeah. How many fast movies have you done?

[Chris Ryan]

Three or four.

[Sean Fantasy]

But really, is it kind of, like all over the place? You're not going. You have. Did you do the fat first fast?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did you do Tokyo Drift?

[Chris Ryan]

Did not.

[Craig Horbeck]

You did five? Seven. One.

[Chris Ryan]

We might have also done four. I think we might have done four.

[Sean Fantasy]

Four.

[Craig Horbeck]

What's four called?

[Chris Ryan]

You know what? The other day, woke up in the middle of night. Cause 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Got it. Ingenious.

[Chris Ryan]

Watch the second half of four. Incredible. Our guy John Ortiz is in it.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Fist bump.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

You guys don't like Fast7 as much because you don't have as big of a heart as I do, Chris.

[Craig Horbeck]

And I don't get these Movies.

[Chris Ryan]

That's fine.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

I find it very hard to watch Vin Diesel on screen.

[Craig Horbeck]

What about in Saving Private Ryan?

[Sean Fantasy]

He's fine in that, but that was like pre. His self. Awareness of what he was doing.

[Craig Horbeck]

Boiler Room.

[Sean Fantasy]

Boiler Room is great.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

But once he hits these movies, I.

[Chris Ryan]

Just feel like these comments are hurtful and I'm going to move on.

[Craig Horbeck]

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 was. That was. That's the lowest.

[Sean Fantasy]

What was the. What was your.

[Chris Ryan]

Remember we went fast 10.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes.

[Sean Fantasy]

Dinner for your birthday.

[Chris Ryan]

I can't defend the last two.

[Sean Fantasy]

And then you had to leave playing golf because you had to go see, like. Was it Hobbs and Shaw?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Can't defend that one either.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's tough.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 23, John Wick 2.

[Sean Fantasy]

Fuck yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Hell yeah. Yeah. Great movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, it's.

[Chris Ryan]

I got to be honest, I was stunned it couldn't crack the top 20. I kept looking at the list, trying to figure out how to move it up, and I did not.

[Craig Horbeck]

John Wick.

[Sean Fantasy]

That's the thing.

[Chris Ryan]

Which one is this?

[Craig Horbeck]

The last John movie. John Wick.

[Sean Fantasy]

One is not in this list.

[Chris Ryan]

Make it interesting. Didn't make it. John Wick.

[Craig Horbeck]

Common and the subway. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

That's. The.

[Sean Fantasy]

Wick 2 is kind of like.

[Chris Ryan]

Wick 2 is incredible.

[Sean Fantasy]

I. And it's also great because it just starts and it's like going. You did not like the last one. Right. As much.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Craig Horbeck]

I thought three was too long. And four is a borderline masterpiece. I loved four.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah. I didn't like three as much. Four I thought was incredible.

[Craig Horbeck]

Two is great.

[Sean Fantasy]

Two is great.

[Chris Ryan]

Two is just a home run. That's everything I want from a rewatchable movie.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow. Keanu doing pretty well on this list so far.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 22, gone girl.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Also now, a little underrated, a little lost to time.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Huge hit.

[Chris Ryan]

I keep getting sucked in. I mean, 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. And the movie shifts where all of a sudden you find out it's her. And then we have that second. And then I think the last 20 minutes is really good. When she comes back, our girl, Carrie Coon.

[Sean Fantasy]

Awesome. In this.

[Craig Horbeck]

Her first movie role.

[Sean Fantasy]

And Lola Kirk.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

It's one of his best performances, arguably his best performance.

[Craig Horbeck]

Perfect.

[Chris Ryan]

Perfect person. He's just enough of a scumbag that such a self. We did this on rewatch, you know.

[Craig Horbeck]

Riffing on, like, his own Persona and everything. It's genius.

[Sean Fantasy]

Making him wear a Yankees hat.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Number 21, forgetting Sarah Marshall.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Craig Horbeck]

Craig Horbeck's favorite movie.

[Chris Ryan]

I think this is 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Another going on a trip movie for you.

[Chris Ryan]

You get to go away. This was big during COVID Watch this movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

A few Hawaii movies for you.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

It's ingenious. It's a. It's the perfect Judd app. Why Judd Apatow is a genius thing where for years, Siegel's trying to get the Dracula musical off the ground for real. With puppets.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

And it's one of those where you. It's kind of like. I'm not sure why Siegel. More good stuff didn't happen for it. Maybe the sitcom. He just made a lot of money.

[Craig Horbeck]

And I think your mother and shrinking were both. Are both. Bitch.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is huge for.

[Chris Ryan]

I'm just thinking. I don't know why this was the only big movie he made.

[Craig Horbeck]

He could have been. I was at the time, I was like, oh. He's like Albert Brooks. Like, this is going to be like. He's going to make all these movies that are from his point of view and about modern relationships and life in America. And he didn't really pursue that as much.

[Chris Ryan]

He was in Five Year Engagement.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

Which I think is now the most underrated rom com of the last few years.

[Sean Fantasy]

Really, really good.

[Craig Horbeck]

The first movie just ended because it's the longest movie ever made. It's like. It's like five hours long.

[Sean Fantasy]

It is. It is two and a half hours, right? Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

It's on the rewatchables list. I think it's good. I also, like. I love youe Man. And he was good in that. Was he in that one? Wasn't that one?

[Sean Fantasy]

He's in I love you, Man. He's Rudd's the guy. Rudd.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, yeah. I Love youe man is slapping to bass, right?

[Craig Horbeck]

Incredible stuff. I love you, man hasn't been on the show, right?

[Sean Fantasy]

No. Has role models been on the show?

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Is it Pratt and is it Isla Fisher? Who's the other the love interest, the sister? They're both really funny in it. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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, Dennis. Thieves.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

We've done it twice.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did Pantera. Did Pantera, like, reduce Den of Thieves for you at all? Did it. Did it take it down a notch?

[Chris Ryan]

It's fine. I don't. I've learned not to get banana shape with sequels.

[Sean Fantasy]

It was just Pablo Shriver and 50 Cent have an enormous amount to do with why Denim Thieves.

[Chris Ryan]

That's the thing. I think it's basically the. In the Tokyo Drift area of we got away from what made the franchise work, but Pablo Schreibers can't come back unless he has an evil brother.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Big Nick and Big Dom.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Overseeing vibes. Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Might help. See this.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is a bad.

[Chris Ryan]

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 Wick 2. There's another movie that I don't feel like is in the same thing where I'm just talking, like, lots of characters. I'm in a world. They're trying to take something. Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Really? I really did. Over the last 10 years, maybe as I got older and I started.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did you not like it when you first saw it?

[Chris Ryan]

I did. I didn't like the ending, and now I really like the ending.

[Sean Fantasy]

The ending's profound.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Between Amanda and I Bet it's only one director.

[Craig Horbeck]

We did only one movie per director that was.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is this your favorite Coen Brothers movie?

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes. Yes.

[Sean Fantasy]

This movie, if you put it on right now, it looks like it does not feel. It's like it's aged a second. It's like a beautiful, timeless.

[Chris Ryan]

We always say this, but it's another movie that's aged really well with the TVs.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Going the widescreen with the.

[Sean Fantasy]

The criterion.

[Chris Ryan]

Like, even that beginning when he's, you know, he's out basically in the desert or wherever the he is. That wide shot of, you know, it's just everything about it. Yeah. He's like, what's that?

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

It also has a couple great rewatchable stretches. But, like, when you know, what's his face?

[Craig Horbeck]

Anton Shaguru.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

The Bardem, Kelly McDonald scene at the end. Yeah. There's so many, like, I always think.

[Craig Horbeck]

Of call it, you know, the. When he's in. Oh, the guy talking to the guy in the. In the store.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

And he's got the doing the coin flip.

[Chris Ryan]

Then Woody going to go. Woody talking to him. Anyway, that's number 19. Somehow.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is there another Cormac McCarthy adaptation on this list?

[Chris Ryan]

There's not.

[Sean Fantasy]

Counselor would be.

[Craig Horbeck]

I lobbied for the Counselor on our list.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 18, bridesmaids.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Found that we started to move a lot more toward the comedies as we hit the top 25.

[Sean Fantasy]

Sure.

[Chris Ryan]

Bridesmaids. Just a huge win in my family. Maybe my wife's favorite movie of the century.

[Craig Horbeck]

Really?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, absolutely. Loves it. Well, just put it on.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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 in cum. Everything talking about her kids and it's got a couple like lights out scenes. And then like Maya Rudolph basically in this supporting role. It's like she easily could have been the lead. But everything about this movie's on Rose Byrne too.

[Craig Horbeck]

I feel like Rose Byrne's amazing in it.

[Chris Ryan]

This is one of the most loaded casts, I think, of any movie in the last 15 years. Looking back, be like, oh, they're in it. And they're in it.

[Craig Horbeck]

They're in it. Yeah. I also, I didn't watch Gilmore Girl, so I didn't really know anything about Melissa McCarthy before this movie came out. I was like, who the fuck is that?

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 17. This is the end.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Yep. So it's so funny though.

[Chris Ryan]

This is the movie Ben and I have watched the most together.

[Craig Horbeck]

You know, you guys know this, having done hundreds of these. But like, comedy rewatchables episodes are harder to do.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Cause you're just like, this is really funny.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Cause it's hard to not just repeat the jokes and laugh a lot, which is, I think it's fun for us, but like, it's not as chewy to get into them as some of the dramas. But you have a lot of comedies.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

One of the best things about it is it's really the end of this specific era. Like, 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Really?

[Sean Fantasy]

That's great list making.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is a great pick.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Do you. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie over the last 10 years.

[Craig Horbeck]

We were talking about this.

[Chris Ryan]

We did this on rewatchables like five years ago.

[Craig Horbeck]

But I was saying how, you know, like, I'm on the brink of 44, I'm about to fall off the cliff. Like, it's really hard when you have one of those, like three pod days. Where you're just like, my brain is leaking out of my ears. And there are times where I'm like, I wish I had the limitless drug.

[Sean Fantasy]

I was 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 ad read for Wayfarer and wondered whether I could read so I couldn't spell Wayfair for the URL. I was like, what's happening? What is happening to me?

[Chris Ryan]

Gets scrambled. Yeah. This movie is kind of perfect with the pace, every moment of the movie you can jump into. And it's good, and it's really well done. It's hilarious that De Niro's in this, taking it seriously.

[Craig Horbeck]

Super serious.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

What political office does he win or run for at the end of the.

[Chris Ryan]

Eddie? Yeah, I think he's running for, like, mayor of New York or governor of New York or something. Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

He's like.

[Chris Ryan]

You know, 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 two seconds. And De Niro turns around, there's a car crash. Oh.

[Sean Fantasy]

And it's like. Because, like, De Niro's 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

How is there not a sequel to this movie?

[Chris Ryan]

Well, they did the TV show.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

You know, 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.

[Sean Fantasy]

What are you talking about?

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

No, I just couldn't remember what political office you. And I'm surprised it went above. Like, I'm surprised it's above some of these movies. I'm surprised it's above John Wick, too. I'm surprised it's a book.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's sick to put it over Dark Night in no country.

[Chris Ryan]

Listen, C.R. i didn't say the list made Sense. I'm just talking about what I've watch. Watch the most times.

[Craig Horbeck]

Awesome.

[Sean Fantasy]

You just wanted to sit here, be like, great job, Bill.

[Chris Ryan]

No, I. I wanted you to push back.

[Craig Horbeck]

I saw it one time and I definitely enjoyed it.

[Sean Fantasy]

I definitely like Limitless. I've seen it a lot of times.

[Chris Ryan]

I like when he drinks the blood.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I told you we're going to get weird. Number 15. Not that weird. Sideways.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Watched it a lot. You get to go somewhere. I get to go into San and do some wine tasting. That was toward the force.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. We got to learn all about all your wine history.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Virginia.

[Craig Horbeck]

Masonia Madsen.

[Chris Ryan]

Virginia Madsen.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Explaining the peanut.

[Chris Ryan]

Big Oscar monologue. And the ending's good.

[Sean Fantasy]

I like Thomas Hayden Church is really good in this.

[Chris Ryan]

I like beating down characters who it's like maybe they aren't going to be that successful at the end.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

The highlight of this guy's life might be just going back and teaching.

[Sean Fantasy]

Right.

[Craig Horbeck]

Well, the revelation that his novel sucks is really funny.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 14, probably the most controversial one on the list. Spotlight.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

That's the thing. It should be a tough rewatch. And yet I always rewatch it. And 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's really good. Obviously, we did this pretty early. We had the Ruffalo Award. And I don't really understand why I always get sucked into it because it's not a feel good movie. It ends with.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm sure some of it is like the Boston. And that's another thing.

[Chris Ryan]

I was stuff. Yeah. I was there when I was there.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

And we just. Just showed it at Coolidge Corner. Right. And people dug it, you know, like It's. And it's 10 years now, this year.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah. And there's like also like, you get to like the seventh spot in the lineup and Crudup and Jamie Sheridan are absolutely like dealing.

[Chris Ryan]

Every scene is just a home run in this movie. And 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. Like, what was the one.

[Craig Horbeck]

The.

[Chris Ryan]

The MeToo movie that she said. She said, like, that they'll do versions of this where it's like, oh, this is actually really hard to do this. Or even like 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Gotta be no notes.

[Chris Ryan]

The second one, not the first one for people.

[Craig Horbeck]

We did that on the show. This.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. We've done multiple before sunset content, so. Donate.

[Sean Fantasy]

Have you thought about midnight more?

[Chris Ryan]

I have.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Was this person on the fence?

[Craig Horbeck]

No, no, neither of us were on the fence. Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

They both feel like we're married.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. No, we're just like, I've met people who've gotten divorced and it has, like, scooped out their soul, you know, like, it's, you know, even more so if you have kids and just like how messy it is and that.

[Sean Fantasy]

That. The whole.

[Craig Horbeck]

That whole movie is like, how far can we take being honest with each other without it ending?

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

The midnight is.

[Chris Ryan]

That's probably why I've only watched it once. It's too raw.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's rough.

[Chris Ryan]

It's a hard movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Ethan Hawke was like, I love it, man.

[Craig Horbeck]

Let's go.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 12.

[Craig Horbeck]

Old school. Yeah. Also now a little underrated. Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

So part of this.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is a very fun rewatchable. This is early.

[Chris Ryan]

This list favors a little bit the movies from the 2000s, just from totality Movies been in our lives more often. This movie came out in 03.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

But the. You know, it's just influential. Still funny. Pop it on anytime. Pop in any part of the movie.

[Sean Fantasy]

Crucial Luke Wilson performance.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did he.

[Craig Horbeck]

He was all. All in. Really.

[Chris Ryan]

He really did. Forgot to tell you that.

[Craig Horbeck]

He was like. I agree.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, it was a. We all know this.

[Craig Horbeck]

Which.

[Sean Fantasy]

Which, of course, did Cameron Crowe watch? We own the City.

[Craig Horbeck]

No I don't think so.

[Chris Ryan]

Number 11, Fast Five.

[Craig Horbeck]

Two Fast and Furious movies.

[Chris Ryan]

Fast Five is just an unbelievable achievement.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay?

[Chris Ryan]

It's set in Brazil.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

It moves 17 times. There's, like, probably five great set pieces. And then one of the best endings of any action movie of the century. And it's like when they really figured out the formula, they peak. It's the peak of. This is the 96 villain in this. It's a guy that they steal money from who then tries to kill all of them.

[Sean Fantasy]

Okay. It's the peak of the franchise, right?

[Chris Ryan]

No, no, no, no. This is before. Before they started to kind of get too ambitious. And it's the. It's unrealistic, but still realistic. It's before the wheels started to come off.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay?

[Chris Ryan]

Fast Six. They're dropping cars from helicopters and they're just landing and driving and that's when. But five is, like, realistic. But we're in Brazil. The Rock comes in.

[Sean Fantasy]

The rocks in this one.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, the rocks. The rock shows up.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is the last time the rock shows up on your list? Yes.

[Sean Fantasy]

You thought smashing machine. Number one.

[Craig Horbeck]

Jungle Cruise.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Number 10. Step Brothers.

[Craig Horbeck]

Lot of comedies.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, a lot of comedies.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is a guy. This is a guy who loves to laugh.

[Craig Horbeck]

Well, it's like a funeral, though, for the era. This era of comedies. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

It is rewatchable, it turns out.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

This is for the Simmons fam. A staple.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yes.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

The deleted scenes. I mean, honestly, Step brothers. I would probably. I would be able to do Step Brothers as many times as he. Like.

[Craig Horbeck]

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 and he told him he couldn't be a dinosaur. Tells his kids that. Don't let them take that away from you. It's just. It's incredible. It's great. It's great.

[Chris Ryan]

Number nine taken 90 minutes. Perfect.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Just a perfect movie. Great father, daughter movie. Watch it again now.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

I watched it with my daughter when she was like 10. That, like, this is why you can't go to.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is Albanian.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. This is why you can't go to France.

[Sean Fantasy]

We're going to a U2 concert is the premise.

[Craig Horbeck]

So it's a. No, it's not. Alicia Cuthbert.

[Chris Ryan]

How dare you.

[Craig Horbeck]

No, it's Maggie Grace.

[Sean Fantasy]

Maggie Grace.

[Craig Horbeck]

My dad.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, sorry. Sorry. To both of them.

[Chris Ryan]

Great lessons from this movie, including don't lie to your father. You might get kidnapped by.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

When was the last time you saw it? Sierra?

[Sean Fantasy]

It's been a while.

[Chris Ryan]

Sierra, this movie is impeccable. It's just. It's an achievement.

[Craig Horbeck]

A whole wave of.

[Sean Fantasy]

I mean, liam made like 20 movies like this.

[Chris Ryan]

You know what I really appreciate about this movie is tight. It's like an 8 ounce filet mignon. It's like, do you want the 12 ounce? I just want the 8 ounce. Take 20 bites of this and dip it in some steak sauce. I watched on an airplane recently because it was on. It was on JetBlue and there were no games on and I was just around. It was on AMC or one of those things. I was like, great, lock it down. I'll do some emails. Just have taken on.

[Craig Horbeck]

What's your steak sauce of choice? Like. Like a.

[Chris Ryan]

Whatever, Whatever, whatever. Chimichurri, Whatever.

[Sean Fantasy]

The chef recommends this cut.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Okay. What about you?

[Sean Fantasy]

Male.

[Chris Ryan]

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, there. He's there for dinner. Liam Neeson. But he's there to get information from Jean Claude. Whatever his name is. And now they have guns and Liam 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 to the boat yet. This movie's great. You get to go to different parts of Europe. We get to dive into the seedy world of kidnapping and auctioning.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

And then he kills everybody in the end and gets his daughter back. I gotta tell you, she's fine. Except for the two days of heroin.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is a flesh wound something that only happens in movies? Or can you really get a flesh wound in real life and be fine? Fine.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

And yeah, sometimes it would just hit your bone. Right.

[Craig Horbeck]

But if it hits your bone, it shatters your bone. That's not what you want.

[Chris Ryan]

Number eight, super bad.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Hater and Rogan. Yeah, probably like some of the.

[Chris Ryan]

I don't need to make 10 kids for this.

[Sean Fantasy]

Of screen time.

[Chris Ryan]

Emma Stone nudging right ahead of it in the seventh spot, the Hangover.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow. Wow.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is a laugh riot from you.

[Chris Ryan]

I went. I really battled between seven and eight with those two, and I thought, the Hangover, it's gonna be amazing if six.

[Sean Fantasy]

Is, like 12 Years a Slave.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

I love the Hangover.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Fucking incredible.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Cooper is really. This was my preferred Cooper. Like, absolute shit.

[Craig Horbeck]

This is your favorite Bartha, too, right?

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah, this is my favorite Bartha.

[Chris Ryan]

It's a grand slam roller girl. Killing it yet again.

[Craig Horbeck]

Heather, of course.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

You know, when I told CR I'd need his time on Friday, he responded. Time is luck.

[Craig Horbeck]

Huh?

[Chris Ryan]

This. This movie is aged incredibly. It looks great.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

And he didn't have any recollection of making it.

[Chris Ryan]

Didn't really remember making it all.

[Sean Fantasy]

We were like, any stories? He was just like, no, I don't remember.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

Dude.

[Chris Ryan]

It's just.

[Sean Fantasy]

I was just. 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.

[Chris Ryan]

It just goes. It goes. The movie starts, we're already going to. The movie ends, we're still going. He's like, walking in the hospital.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm not even sure. Like the bad guys at the end of the movie, are they the bad guys for the other 2/3 of the movie? Like the. The white power.

[Chris Ryan]

We don't want to say too much because this was Sean's number one.

[Craig Horbeck]

The celebration and re. Celebration of this movie is a mass delusion among middle aged men. That's just one of my takes. I just. This movie does not work.

[Chris Ryan]

You haven't even watched it since done this.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

But you have.

[Chris Ryan]

Do you have like terrible take?

[Sean Fantasy]

Do you have a good.

[Craig Horbeck]

You guys just said you have to watch Black Hat 10 times to get it.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm not gonna fucking do that one battle like five times.

[Craig Horbeck]

But I loved one battle on Defensible. I know many people love Miami Vice and I know that you both.

[Sean Fantasy]

Are you excited about Butler and Jordan?

[Chris Ryan]

Is that who we landed on?

[Sean Fantasy]

Isn't that who they kind of like landed on?

[Craig Horbeck]

I don't know if they have officially announced it for the. For the new Miami Vice movie. I mean, I don't know. Austin Butler.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

This already is that.

[Chris Ryan]

I know. But what I like, you know, they completely reinvented it in a really cool mid 2000s way. And then there's also this like oh, what would have happened if they could have shot the original ending? That man wanted to do like fun little side piece of this. There's great information about it. And great movie screen movie, great cable rewatchable, great 4K Blu Ray soundtrack. Great everything.

[Craig Horbeck]

As you know. I hate that plan over and man.

[Chris Ryan]

Like tapping into this weird like. Like advanced metal rock era that I think was this era that wasn't even an era.

[Sean Fantasy]

The audio slave era.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. It lasted like five minutes.

[Craig Horbeck]

I like that in Collateral.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Number five. The Departed.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Rips to me the definition of a rewatchable. The definition.

[Chris Ryan]

I think it's the first one we.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did twice Departed and reparted. Right.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. I mean we could do the three parted when we go to Netflix.

[Craig Horbeck]

So fun. So such a fun time.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Is this the last great Nicholson or is about Schmitz after this or something? Right.

[Craig Horbeck]

That's before it.

[Chris Ryan]

World lead. Prolly bartenders.

[Craig Horbeck]

I think he probably is the last great Nicholson.

[Chris Ryan]

I think it is.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

Because he's like early 70s at this point.

[Craig Horbeck]

He's been retired for 15 years.

[Chris Ryan]

Number four the town over the Departed.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's a strong take.

[Chris Ryan]

So is this. But that's not a take.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's pure rewatches. Right?

[Chris Ryan]

It's what I've rewatched more in the 21st century.

[Sean Fantasy]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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.

[Sean Fantasy]

I would. I would. I would have these flipped personally.

[Chris Ryan]

But you've seen Departed slightly more of.

[Sean Fantasy]

Definitely seen more than the Town.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Does your appreciation for the Colleen Hoover adaptation increase your affection for Lively's performance in this movie? Did you see It Ends with Us? Did you watch the movie?

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. What'd you think?

[Sean Fantasy]

It's number two.

[Chris Ryan]

Didn't love it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Didn't love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

I don't know if I'm trying to think if there's a scene in the Departed that lives as large for us as Whose car are we taking?

[Chris Ryan]

And there was just Renner in general.

[Sean Fantasy]

And there goes college soccer or Shot or Shine.

[Craig Horbeck]

What's your. Can you do a little. Your posture, Weight?

[Sean Fantasy]

Give her a little taste. You gotta gild them chemically.

[Chris Ryan]

I live two blocks from the ice rink. I have a lot of, like, geographical ties to this movie, too. I just love that.

[Craig Horbeck]

How many banks did you rob as a young man?

[Chris Ryan]

Never. It never went over the hill. Number three. Anchorman.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Still haven't done it.

[Chris Ryan]

Still haven't done it.

[Craig Horbeck]

What are you waiting for?

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

It's immaculate. It was on our list, too. It's. It is a.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

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 was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You know, the intonations of everything that Ferrell does is really.

[Chris Ryan]

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, like, a recent. Last year's thing for me. Yeah, there's some good stuff in that one.

[Sean Fantasy]

Do you know, is there, like, an Anchorman 2 version where you can get, like, the Complete.

[Chris Ryan]

Or there's an alternate movie. There's an alternate movie, right?

[Craig Horbeck]

More sex scenes? What do you mean?

[Sean Fantasy]

No, but is there, like, when they did the physical Release of Anchorman 2, is the other movie on there or like this sort of alternative.

[Chris Ryan]

I think it's. I think the alternate movie is Anchorman 1. And then.

[Craig Horbeck]

You mean Wake Up, Ron Burgundy. Yeah, the second movie that's on the first one that was, like, 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.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. Number two, Social Network.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Very special.

[Chris Ryan]

Perfect for a rewatchable standpoint. Jumping in anytime.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Really fun. Has gained, like, 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

So thoughts on the sequel?

[Chris Ryan]

I'm okay with it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Okay.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. I'm gonna give it a chance. Mentally, I don't feel like it's a money grab.

[Craig Horbeck]

Sorkin, writing and directing. Jeremy Allen. Jeremy Strong. Jeremy Allen White.

[Sean Fantasy]

And Jeremy Allen White's the Wall Street Journal reporter.

[Craig Horbeck]

Right. And Mikey Madison is the whistleblower. Yeah. Good cast. It's a risk. It's a risk. This is a very. This is a movie with a. An immaculate reputation.

[Sean Fantasy]

That was two, Right.

[Chris Ryan]

What do you think number one is?

[Sean Fantasy]

I think it's.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

You'll. You haven't done a pta. You haven't done a Tarantino. What do you think it is?

[Chris Ryan]

You had a factor in family.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, yeah.

[Craig Horbeck]

Is it 50 first dates?

[Chris Ryan]

No, but that almost made the list.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, I know. That's a big one for your fam.

[Chris Ryan]

I don't personally like that movie that much, so I always feel like I was an unwilling Participant in 51st date.

[Craig Horbeck]

Interesting.

[Sean Fantasy]

Season two of euphoria.

[Chris Ryan]

No, it is the Devil Wears Product.

[Craig Horbeck]

Oh, I wouldn't have guessed that.

[Sean Fantasy]

I would not have guessed that.

[Chris Ryan]

I think I've. I've seen it the most times, and there's reasons for that, including my wife and My daughter. It's probably their favorite movie, but I always get sucked in.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'll.

[Chris Ryan]

If it's on, I'll be like, oh, I kind of 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. Streep. It's probably my favorite Meryl Streep performance.

[Craig Horbeck]

Sure.

[Chris Ryan]

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 watch it. I think we achieve rewatchables perfection with Devil Wears Prada.

[Sean Fantasy]

This is honestly, like a great zag from you. I did not expect Devil worse Pride.

[Chris Ryan]

At the top, but it wasn't even really a zag. It's kind of the answer.

[Sean Fantasy]

So when you were.

[Chris Ryan]

I've watched this movie the most times.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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, a matter of times this, like, I could put. I could put this on at my holiday party and my wife just would have gravitated over the tv. Yeah, it's one of those.

[Craig Horbeck]

It's really interesting that your number one and number two are both getting sequels in 2026.

[Chris Ryan]

What does that tell you, though?

[Craig Horbeck]

That is resonating in rewatchability.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I just. It's never gonna be like, 70s. I don't know. Like, would a 19 year old right now like Anchorman? I don't know. Like, my son doesn't really care about Anchorman, which I think is interesting.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Does his peak is this is the end and super bad. So the younger kids. Yeah, the appetizer stuff.

[Craig Horbeck]

Interesting. So, yeah, Devil Wears Prada is a great pick. Especially under the rubric of rewatchability, because it is a movie that people just.

[Sean Fantasy]

So what would your. What would your number.

[Chris Ryan]

What movie have you watched?

[Sean Fantasy]

The movie.

[Craig Horbeck]

There Will Be Bloods, the movie I've rewatched the most times this century because it was the movie. It was the movie. The first time I saw it, I was like, that's my favorite movie. Like, that was just. I'd not seen anything. And 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, like, not this heavy, weighted movie.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, I've watched it at least 20 times. I've seen it a lot. But I'm trying to think of what's kind of more in that collateral or stepbrother zone where it's just like, I just like having this on that thing that you're describing as opposed to, like, I'm studying this thing. That means a lot to me. And there's a difference. Right. So I don't. What is it for you?

[Chris Ryan]

I mean, it's Miami Vice.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Inglourious Basterds is high up there.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, like movies like Den of Thieves that I actually like. Like, that I've actually, like, fired up a lot.

[Chris Ryan]

I also think situation affects it. Like, my wife doesn't like Inglourious Basterds.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's true. Right.

[Chris Ryan]

So I don't. It doesn't matter because it's like, oh, I hate this movie. Like, it's one of those.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Drive.

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

The 80s 90s, this would have been so much harder.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. It's different.

[Chris Ryan]

The 21st century, especially. Like, I think the only one from this decade I had was. Was Maverick.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

But I think 10 years from now, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will probably be on it.

[Sean Fantasy]

I mean, 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.

[Craig Horbeck]

Wow.

[Chris Ryan]

That's kind of.

[Sean Fantasy]

But, yeah, I just re watched it like, a bunch of times in Scream rewatches. But also it's like my wife and I really like it, and so we just will, like, sometimes, like, we're bored, we'll just throw that Scream on. It's a really random one. Hard.

[Craig Horbeck]

Zach.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

Sure.

[Chris Ryan]

It's Probably Miami Vice 1 and 2. It's just 1 and 2.

[Craig Horbeck]

Squid and the Whale is a movie that was just on in my house all the time when I was living in Brooklyn. Oh. That was just a movie that I 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 depressing. It is, but I don't know.

[Sean Fantasy]

It is Brooklyn, though.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

You know, it's interesting, though, out of all those movies, if 2000 was included, I would have had Almost Famous 1 and Castaway 2.

[Sean Fantasy]

Sure.

[Chris Ryan]

Over every movie I just did.

[Craig Horbeck]

Almost Famous is not on our list because it's not an Amanda movie. And I. She wouldn't put it on. But if it was just me, it would be in my top.

[Chris Ryan]

It's funny. Some people don't like it. I remember that was a big J. Kang thing.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. He didn't like it. He didn't like it.

[Chris Ryan]

That movie.

[Craig Horbeck]

Really?

[Chris Ryan]

He's, like, really angry about it. Yeah. Some people hate it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

And then other people are like, if I'm not on the rewatch, was. I'm resigning from the ringer. Multiple people. Not just Julia.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. That's it. But I agree with you. Like, that wouldn't. If you were including 2000s, that would be really high. Or the year 2000.

[Chris Ryan]

I just watched Cast Away last week.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did you?

[Chris Ryan]

From beginning to end. Because it was on Netflix and I was. Had to do some work stuff and I was like, all right, how does the.

[Craig Horbeck]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

Is so good and, like, way more harrowing than you kind of want to. Like when that guy's on the ground.

[Sean Fantasy]

Like.

[Chris Ryan]

Like the one. The one pilot.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

It's awful. Like, you really feel terrible watching it.

[Craig Horbeck]

Predate Lost it did.

[Chris Ryan]

Oh, predated by six years.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

It's funny because the Martians liked that too. Which I did not have that on the list because I didn't. I didn't kind of keep revisiting it. I watched it a few times.

[Sean Fantasy]

Oh, Martian would definitely be on my list.

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah. But it's the same thing of the. What would I do?

[Craig Horbeck]

No Ridley Scott for you?

[Chris Ryan]

Nothing.

[Craig Horbeck]

You didn't have any Ridley Scott.

[Sean Fantasy]

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.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

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

[Chris Ryan]

Spotlight.

[Sean Fantasy]

Spotlight.

[Chris Ryan]

Guys, thanks for. Thanks for listening to my top 50.

[Craig Horbeck]

Was this being recorded?

[Chris Ryan]

Yeah, it was actually. I didn't just invite you over.

[Sean Fantasy]

It's live, it's broadcast.

[Craig Horbeck]

Are we on YouTube?

[Chris Ryan]

So what was your top three movies? I've rewatched the most. And from the 21st century, there will Be Blood.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah. And Gloria. Social Networks would be up there. Wolf of Wall street would be up there. Departed would be up there. You know, all the movies from my guys, my bros. Zodiac. Zodiac would be really high, very high.

[Sean Fantasy]

Up there for me.

[Craig Horbeck]

Michael Clayton would be really high for me.

[Sean Fantasy]

That's a great call.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Proof of life over Zodiac.

[Sean Fantasy]

No, was the Adam Sailor, Brooklyn Decker movie over Zodiac.

[Craig Horbeck]

Just go with it.

[Sean Fantasy]

I would probably have nice guys in my list.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Rip. Just like the Zodiac Killer. We still don't know. Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

I believe we should read Zodiac.

[Chris Ryan]

Zodiac was in there.

[Sean Fantasy]

I'm sorry.

[Chris Ryan]

Zodiac's definitely in.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

We did it. But I wasn't on it. Which gives us an excuse we should redo it.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Chris Ryan]

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

[Craig Horbeck]

Yeah.

[Chris Ryan]

I mean, mention.

[Craig Horbeck]

There's no way to do it perfectly.

[Chris Ryan]

I tried it. I went through all the rewatchables list. I went through, like everything I own on Blu Ray or dvd and I think I got everything, but I missed Zodiac, so obviously it happens.

[Craig Horbeck]

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

[Sean Fantasy]

No, I. Nice Guys was the one that just jumps in my mind.

[Chris Ryan]

So I think five years from now, Nice Guys will be on the list for me. I watched that in a really like.

[Sean Fantasy]

Did you see Crow was like, you know, people always are asking for a Nice Guy 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 two colon Mexican Detectives. Just like, holy.

[Chris Ryan]

Well, the other guys is the other one that has been growing up really good.

[Craig Horbeck]

Really good.

[Chris Ryan]

The Eva Mendez scene is so fucking funny.

[Craig Horbeck]

Yes. When Walber can't believe that, he's like, who are you?

[Chris Ryan]

Yes. All right. Thanks for doing this.

[Craig Horbeck]

Thanks.

[Chris Ryan]

Thanks to Gahav for producing. Sorry Craig couldn't be here. He's away. Hope you enjoyed.

[Craig Horbeck]

Sam.
