Description

The 95th edition of the T100P features the ultimate underdog story before the series turned into amusing self-parody. Sly Stallone's signature role made him a huge star, something he wouldn't have achieved if he didn't write his own script with such authenticity. He was a DIY kind of guy.

Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!

Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow: Ryan's quest to review at least one movie starring all the actors on the AFI's Top 50 Stars list has been achieved with this one-man-talk about Vittorio De Sica's comic anthology.
