    Crooklyn 1994

    Possibly Spike Lee's most personal film, this is a semi autobiographical story about a family living in Brooklyn in the 70s. This means you have rambunctious kids, crazy neighbors, guys high on glue (hey, it was a thing back then) and lots of financial struggles.

    Mrs. Doubtfire 1993

    A man's irresponsible behavior causes him to lose his wife and 3 children. So what can he do but disguise himself as a woman and stalk his ex and children? Fortunately, this guy is Robin Williams so it's cool. But do the guys agree?     Links You can rate and review us in these places (and more, probably) Does This Still Work? - TV Podcast https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/does-this-still-work-1088105 ‎Does This Still Work? on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/does-this-still-work/id1492570867 Creator Accountability Network creatoraccountabilitynetwork.org.

    Love Actually 2003

    Whenever you get gloomy with the state of the world,  think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. Or Grand Central Station. Or really, think about anything but the plot of this rom com. Love, actually, might be all around but it may not be in this flick.  Links You can rate and review us in these places (and more, probably) Does This Still Work? - TV Podcast https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/does-this-still-work-1088105 ‎Does This Still Work? on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/does-this-still-work/id1492570867 Creator Accountability Network creatoraccountabilitynetwork.org.

    The Final Countdown 1980

    It's a scifi movie. It's a war movie. It's a one hour and 43 minute ad for an aircraft carrier.

    The Terminator 1984

    It's THE Terminator. Accept no terrible sequels. This is Schwarzenegger's first time playing the lead villain and because the bad guy is a machine, he's excellent in it. The film itself though, is that excellent? The boys discuss.

    Bird 1988

    Back in the late 80s, Clint Eastwood directed a movie about jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker.  It starred Forest Whitaker and currently stands at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, this must be a good movie, right? Well, the boys take a look.    Links Does This Still Work? - TV Podcast https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/does-this-still-work-1088105 ‎Does This Still Work? on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/does-this-still-work/id1492570867 creatoraccountabilitynetwork.org.

    CASABLANCA 1942

    Show Notes It's here at last. Our 300th episode! And what could be a better way to celebrate it than looking at a movie that is over 80 years old? Would the movie 300 been a better idea?

    No Country for Old Men 2007
