We discuss the AFI's #88 film of all time, Swing Time. Turns out, not huge fans, but... We also discuss how some films on the AFI list seem like they are more representational rather deserving to stand on their own.

Surprisingly Rebel Without A Cause did not make the revised list which is honestly a bit surprising. It's an important film, particularly for it's time and subject matter, but the crew does break it down and look at it as a film and question if it does deserve to be in the "best of" list. You'll have to listen/watch to see if they agree that it does or doesn't deserve the title of one of the best films of all time. #jamesdean #rebelwithoutacause #nataliewood #teenangst #classicfilm
