#71 (AFI):
Caddyshack
Year: 1980
Directed by: Harold Ramis
Written by: Brian Doyle-Murray, Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney
Starring: Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, The Superfriends' narrator Ted Knight, Chevy Chase
Seanbaby: Only seventy one? Maybe if Caddyshack was named Caddyshack/Ladyshack, and instead of Bill Murray offering you a Fresca, he was putting a miniskirt on a bag of golf clubs, it would have been funny enough to make the imported cappucino come out the AFI's mummy noses.
We're just surprised they thought this movie is funny because, you know, it actually is.

#71 (IFLS):
High Fidelity
Year: 2000
Directed by: Stephen Frears
Written by: Nick Hornby, D.V. DeVincentis
Starring: Jack Black!, John Cusack, Lisa Bonet, Grandpa-fucking Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joan Cusack
Seanbaby: Everyone has an idea for a movie. Whether it's a sequel to The Warriors or a sequel to The Warriors starring only monkeys, it probably runs through their head for most of their life and never gets made. Trust me, it's a lot of work to get someone to make your movie, even if your movie's a sequel to The Warriors starring Jet Li as a vampire bartender and Bruce Campbell as a parachute! That's why I can't understand how someone raised millions of dollars and worked for years to make High Fidelity and finally tell the story about their life of sitting around and talking about records.
Mark: Some guy on the IMDB messageboard called High Fidelity “a bad version of Empire Records,” which I can only assume is a compliment rather than an insult. It’s a great movie, and only intellectual AFI queens and librarians will tell you to read the book instead.
