I Like to Watch

Donnie’s challenge was SciFi and he went all the way back to childhood to talk about a film he and his dad watched constantly. Time for an Oil Job!

Donnie’s challenge was to pick a remake that Don liked to watch. The

challenge wasn’t as easy as it appeared.

Donnie is challenged this week to find a cinematographer he likes to watch and, man, did he pick a doozy!

The challenge was a movie with a song written specifically for that movie. Hall picks a movie with NINE songs written for it and a callback to his most important high school days!

A foreign-born director? So many to choose from. Donnie goes for a classic: Face/Off with Travolta and Cage.

The Challenge? Steve Zallian. The response? Gangs of New York. Can DeCaprio’s middling accent bring down Day Lewis’s extraordinary Bill the Butcher?

The challenge took Donnie through embarrassment of cinematic riches of 1984! He landed on an iconic performance by an iconic actor (plus a lot of laughs).

The Challenge? Firefighter movies. Really the only choice? 1991’s Backdraft.

Donnie embraces the Dustin Hoffman challenge and lands on a film that speaks to us in the present which foments a long discussion about what that film tells us about the world today. Isn’t that what great movies should do?

The challenge? Cars. The response? Only the most badass case movie ever made.
