The Film Thugs Movie Show

The IMDB had their chance and quite frankly... well, they kind of blew it. So, we decided to use our vast expertise and put together our own lists of action films. Real action films. Awesome action films. The kind of movies that kick so much ass that you should have to have valid health insurance just to watch them. Let's do this.

That's right baby, this time we take a look at our favorite actresses.

If you stop and think about it every single one of us has one of these. No matter how esoteric your tastes are, something led you to what you like. I don't care if you like Italian Neorealist, French New Wave, American Independent, Avant Garde, German Expressionism, New American Cinema, Horror, Drama, Epic, Third Cinema, Realism, Screwball Comedy, Minimalist, Formalist, Structuralist, Film Noir, Documentary, Drama, or Silent Comedy...

At some point you found one movie that led you to another movie that led you to a director who introduced you to a star who made you aware of a writer that made you fall in love with a certain type of movie.

We decided, after 44 episodes, that we should let you in on our journey.

The assignment was simple: find the five movies that directly or indirectly shaped our current tastes and walk you through our journey. This is how we became who we are, so if that at all interests you then take a walk with us through our pasts.

Oh, and if you have something like this, a path that has led you to your current fandom, send us a voicemail or a typed list so that we can all share in your journey. We showed you ours, now you show us yours.

So, the editors of the IMDB have been doing a series of lists to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the site. We decided to take a look at one and discover that perhaps the editors of the site don't really have the best taste. Some are good, some are bad, and some just don't make any sense at all.

Shane Black is a fascinating guy. How does an aspiring actor reinvent the action genre, write a beloved kids movie, become the highest paid writer in Hollywood, vanish for 8 years, then suddenly return and direct one of the best detective movies ever made? Jim and Clarkson take a look at the awesome and surprising career of the man who is defiantly not getting too old for this.
