CineFix Top 100 CINEFIX & Clint Gage

“I am a star. I’m a star. I’m a big, bright shining star. That’s right.” (re-zips his pants)

Boogie Nights was only Paul Thomas Anderson’s second film, but the story of an up-and-coming star in the waning days of the porn industry on film is exceedingly confident especially for a director in his 20s. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the stacked cast that might be the best ensemble ever assembled, the origin of the most hilarious subgenre (the “horny boy movie") and why this movie about sex is not about sex at all.

Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm can do it again if you need a close up.

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Jaws was legitimate phenomenon in the 70s, launching both the career of Steven Spielberg and the concept of the summer blockbuster to the forefront of the Hollywood system. For this story about an island being terrorized by a rogue Great White, Clint, Cal and Alex talk about Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw as maybe the best ever top 3 in a cast, how to dress like a proper island Mayor and why Bruce the shark not working correctly might just be the most fortuitous mistake in cinema history.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm bids farewell and adieu to ye fair spanish ladies.

“Warriors… come out and play-ayyyyy…”

The Warriors dropped in 1979 during an age of New York City that was about to change. Walter Hill’s film about a gang being hunted across the city as they try to make it home is a portrait of the politics of gang society. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about 70s fight scene choreography, expert camera blocking and just how many guys it takes to be wearing vests with no shirt, before you start to look cool.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm has been asked to relay a request from the Gramercy Riffs and has a hit dedicated to all the boppers out there.

“So far, so good. So far, so good…”

On one hand, La Haine is a grab bag of every filmmaking trick that was cool in the 90s. On the other hand, it’s a scathing look at systemic violence that’s as relevant as ever even 30 year later. The story of three guys outside of Paris grappling with the aftermath of a riot in which police officers put one of their friends in a coma, La Haine is a tough but essential watch. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how great the black and white looks, the early days of drone photography and how the film never lets you forget that these guys are just kids trying to get through their day.

Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm has jumped off a building and, as he passes each floor on the way down, says “so far, so good…”

“Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?”

Hot Fuzz, the second chapter in Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s ‘Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy,’ takes the piss out of buddy cop movies in the most loving way possible. The story of a cop who’s too good for his own good transferring to a small town in the country and uncovering a gruesomely violent plot, lampoons its action influences while being a pristine example of the genre in its own right. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about editing paperwork like a fight scene, the comedy chops of Olivia Colman and audio commentary tracks with film references too numerous to keep up with.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is on the loose and was spotted by the model village.

“You cannot change your fate. However, you can rise to meet it, if you so choose.”

Hayao Miyazaki dropped one of his several masterpieces in 1997 with Princess Mononoke. Depicting the battle between Iron Town and ancient Gods of the forest, the film is a gorgeously animated adventure that paints it’s themes vividly front and center. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about where it fits in Miyazaki’s body of work, how James Cameron being a fan makes them feel about the movie, samurai swords in the mail and whether or not Prince Ashitaka has enough rizz to carry the movie.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm plots to kill a god, by getting somebody else to do its dirty work.
