The second of two Audience Brit Picks dominates the discussion this week as the guys discuss the Stanley Baker trucker flick - Hell Drivers. Do you like vamping for long periods of time? Is this the oldest movie to have a main character with a "mysterious past?" How do they rate the film's love triangle? Also - be sure to check out Jason's pitch for the plot of Hell Drivers being used for Solo.

Next week: Our final wrap-up of the BFI Top 100!

Before we wrap this damn thing up, the guys look to the audience and choose The Dresser from the list of suggestions. Does this highly theatrical film starring Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay successfully stake its claim to be placed in the BFI Top 100? How does this movie manage to have such "big" acting that works so well on film? Did Brendan go too 'tiny film glasses' with his war metaphor theory? What about Jason's theory that Norman is in love with Sir? All that and more in this week's episode!

Next week: The next Audience Brit Pick will be Hell Drivers!

This week, the guys finally come to the end of the BFI Top 100 list with a discussion of The Third Man (the #1 film!) Is Holly Martens a good writer and how does it factor into the story itself? Could this movie have benefitted from a Se7en-like ad campaign? Does the unusual soundtrack work or is it distracting? And most importantly, how many Taye Diggs movies can Brendan name under pressure? All this and more in a landmark episode!

Next week: We rank the previous 20 movies covered on the show and give out some awards!

This week, the guys discuss another John Schlesinger film in the form of the 1963 comedy Billy Liar. How does this movie compare to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ally McBeal and Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Was 1963 the peak year for catchphrase comedians? They also talk about speaking in different dialects based on your audience, Julie Christie/fast food restaurant tie-ins and much, much more.

Next week: Since we know what's last, that leaves Nil By Mouth as the penultimate movie on the list!

This week, the guys discuss sexuality and relationships in John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday. What is this film's weird connection with the actual Bloody Sunday riots? Is this the first time a gay character's sexual preference barely figures into anything outside of their relationship? How much of the movie is based on Schlesinger's own life? And are those children *really* smoking weed!?

The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
