Jordan & Hilary Go To the Movies

Jordan and Hilary are plowing through the AFI 100 Years... 100 Movies Lists from both 1998 and 2007. Here you will probably get our thoughts, some reviews, and maybe a bad attempt at humor. We might also let you know about some other movies we see, so stay tuned.

Apparently We Have A Blog

Starting off really quickly, most of the things Hilary has said are true. We are doing the AFI 100 (both versions, minus ones that both of us have seen). So far we did American Graffiti and It Happened One Night. American Graffiti is a classic and also brought George Lucas and Harrison Ford together for the parts that we all know him and love him in. In the meantime the movie is solid, you can definitely see where movies like Dazed and Confused follow the exact same story path. At this rate, we are probably going to get the movie we are all truly waiting for, one about the end of high school in the 90's in about 12 more years.

In It Happened One Night we get a classic story with one of the all time greats, Clark Gable. It was in black and white (as movies from the 30's were) but that didn't mean there weren't still some classic moments. Notably: the gay sailor and the black guy working in the kitchen. Apparently cussing is Gable calling the female lead a Brat, but racist and homosexual stereotypes fly as far as the eye can see.

Quality on the first two. Now onto All the President's Men. Hilary is pretty sure it has something to do with Deep Throat, she approves.
