Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEKNo. 16 - The Godfather Part II (A&E) (SAT) Time to pull out another of the big guns. I haven't filled in the whole Top 20 in my head just yet, I'm still only 29% done with the list, so it feels like I've got time. I initially thought that this would be one of four...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEKNo. 72 - The Blues Brothers (MAX) (TUE) Is this the first musical to make the list? I guess, not technically a musical but music is the backbone to this comedy. Music is the engine, Belushi is the fuel and Aykroyd just tries to keep the whole thing on the road. As many great...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEKNo. 33 - The Wild Bunch (MAX) (TUE) There was absolutely no doubt that this film would be in the top 50, it was just a matter of where it fit. I'm a huge fan of Sam Peckinpah's films. But it all came together here - acting (William Holden, Warren Oates, Ernest Borgnine),...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEKNo. 86 - The Breakfast Club (USA) (WED) If you're 40 years old this year, then there has never been a more perfect movie released at a more perfect time in your life than The Breakfast Club. It's not a perfect movie. In fact, I'm feeling guilty for including it in the...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 10 - Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (TNT) (FRI) I don't have my exact final list of Top 100 movies yet - but I don't know if there will be a movie from the 2000's that will finish higher than this Peter Jackson masterpiece. The best of the trilogy...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 75 - Blazing Saddles (AMC) (SAT) I can tell that as I approach 25% of my list that it's getting hard to seed some great films. There's no doubt that Blazing Saddles is one of my top 100 movies, but how do you rank it against other dramas? Yet, here it sits above Dial M...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 84 – Babe (ENC) (TUE) This is the first time in 22 weeks that I may be doubting my pick. Not really as a Top 100 film but its placement. Do I overvalue a movie that I haven't rewatched in probably five to six years? I just can't knock down a film that had me...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 97 - You Only Live Twice (SPIKE) (SAT) The first Bond film I've included in the list. Will it be the only to make the Top 100? The fifth in the series and next to last for Sean Connery. Here he's a man at the top of his game. Set almost exclusively in Japan, the...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 48 - Brief Encounter (TCM) (SAT) This is what what every Top 100 movie should be - style and substance. There's a superb script adapted by Noel Coward from his one-act play. There's riveting acting performances from Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. And there's the...

Written by Musgo Del JefeMUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:No. 99 - Rushmore (ENC) (TUE)Is Wes Anderson a genius? Jury's still out on that one but he intrigues me every time he gets behind a camera. We're almost the same age, we have many of the same influences, and we're both living in Texas. I guess the difference is that...
