Valentine’s Day Special 2013
Last year we picked our top ten romantic films, but for this year’s special we’ve chosen our ten favourite break-up movies. Bring a big tub of ice cream and a sense of injustice. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#45: Cinema Paradiso
2013! New year! New podcast! That’s right, Lewis and Ian are back from their extended Christmas holidays (apparently there was A LOT of eggnog to drink). What better way to kickstart a year than discussing a film which has a love for cinema running right the way through it. Yes, 101 Films takes a look at 1988’s Cinema Paradiso .

Christmas Special 2012
Lewis and Ian have decked the halls of 101 Towers with boughs (boughs?) of holly, put the turkey in the oven to roast and are avoiding standing under the mistletoe. Yep, it’s CHRISTMASSSSSSS! That means of course its time for the 101 Films Christmas Special. Last year we looked at films that are about Christmas, this year we look at films that are set at Christmas but aren’t really about Christmas. Merry Christmas Listeners/Readers!

#44: The French Connection
With this week’s film is the French Connection, a film about “Popeye” Doyle and “Cloudy” Russo; two rough, tough, hard drinking fellas who may cut corners and bend the rules but they get the job done dammit! Remind you of anyone? No? Ok, fair enough. Enjoy the podcast anyway! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#43: Run Lola Run
After a two-week break we’re back, back, BACK with some wholesome podcast goodness in the form of the blistering German romp that is Run Lola Run . Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Dec 07, 2012
#42: Do The Right Thing
This week we discuss the Spike Lee classic Do The Right Thing and get horribly side-tracked by The Muppets and Last of the Summer Wine . So business as usual then. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#41: The Triplets of Belleville
Lewis and Ian treat themselves to some Gallic whimsy this week with The Triplets of Belleville . Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Join us in Ian’s ‘Special Dungeon’ as we celebrate Halloween with a classic Hollywood creature feature: a double bill of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein . Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Oct 31, 2012
#40: Let The Right One In
As it’s almost Halloween, now seems the perfect time to review the creepy Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In . Join Lewis and Ian as they discuss the film’s beautiful ‘cinema tography’, Anthea Turner’s unexpected cameo and the surprisingly horrific ending to Ghost . Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#39: A Matter of Life and Death
This week we get all misty eyed about the excellent Powell and Pressburger film A Matter of Life and Death (or Stairway to Heaven as it was called in the US). Join us as we heap praise on the mysterious force that is David Niven, get all confused about the curious Naked Goat Boy and pine for our very own attic-based camera obscura. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#38: Hidden (Caché)
This week Lewis and Ian are enthralled by possibly the world’s slowest paced thriller, 2005’s Hidden. The 101 boys wax lyrical about the way the director Michael Haneke builds a creeping sense of unease through the use of long, lingering takes, the great performances by Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche and how cruel the aging process is when you compare what Annie Girardot looked like in the film to her photo on IMDB. Yep, the usual nonsense. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC...

#37: Silent Running
This week Lewis and Ian delve into the wonderful world of serious 1970s science fiction with Silent Running. Plus there’s another Surprise Sponsor of the week that should please the fellas at http://www.crashandburnmoviepodcast.co.uk (note the lack of a WordPress address, classy).

#36: The Crying Game
We come to the conclusion that The Crying Game is at once charming and awkward, and even slightly irritating in places. A bit like our podcasts. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#35: Last Night
After being put through the emotional wringer of Downfall in the last podcast, Lewis and Ian wanted to watch a more light hearted film this week. So they went with Eoin Boyle’s recommendation Last Night – a 1998 film about disaffected twenty-somethings facing the end of the world. Yay! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Sep 13, 2012
#34: Downfall (Der Untergang)
Lewis and Ian try their best to be light-hearted, but respectful, as they look at the intense and gripping Downfall, a film depicting the last days of Hitler in war-torn Berlin. Listen to find out if they succeed! (Spoiler – they end up respectful, but not light-hearted). Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

How To Make A Summer Blockbuster
Much like a studio which has lost all faith in its mediocre ‘blockbuster’, 101 Films has waited right to the end of the summer to release its latest special: How To Make A Summer Blockbuster. Enjoy! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Aug 30, 2012
#33: His Girl Friday
Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat. That, Listeners, is the machine gun speed of the dialogue in this week’s film, His Girl Friday . Can Lewis and Ian match the fast, witty, flirty dialogue of the film in their discussion of it? Listen and find out! (They don’t). Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#32: A Hard Day’s Night
Lewis and Ian are back! This week they have donned their moptop wigs, put on their dark suits and shirts with round collars and have taken to doing terrible scouse accents. Yep, this week 101 Films get into Beatlemania 50 years late and discuss A Hard Day’s Night. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#31: Princess Mononoke
This week we discuss demon sausage beasts, the short-lived Aquaman film and cross-gender animals as we look at the Studio Ghibli classic Princess Mononoke . Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#30: Taxi Driver
Just as the school holidays are about to start the 101 Boys are forced back to the podcast grindstone. Boo! Still, what better way to get back into the swing of things is there than taking a trip to scary, grimy 1970s New York? Yep, Lewis and Ian are all ‘I’m walking here’ and ‘get me a cawfee’ as they get into the back of Travis Bickle’s taxi in Taxi Driver . Why are the seats all sticky? Probably best we don’t know… Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#29: Kind Hearts and Coronets
This week we review the classic Ealing comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets , which stars the fantastic Alec Guinness in eight different roles. We also lament the lack of 101 Films fanzines and Ian pooh-poohs the 3D in Prometheus . 3D? Saviour of cinema? Pah! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Jun 14, 2012
#28: Touch of Evil
Join us as we dive into the dark and seedy world of Orson Welles’ classic film noir Touch of Evil… but then get a bit distracted and start talking about Allo Allo and Transformers: The Movie . It’s business as usual on 101 Films! Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
Jun 07, 2012
#27: Mulholland Drive
This week we tackle Mulholland Drive , which gives us an opportunity to show off our ignorance about David Lynch and speculate on what you should do if you encounter a sinister dwarf. We also talk about Billy Ray Cyrus. Just thought I’d throw that in there. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Comedy Films You Should Have Seen
Join us for our fourth 101 Films Special, in which we take a look at our top ten comedy films of all time and ask: “has anyone ever pulled using a Monty Python quote?” Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

#26: Brick
It had to happen eventually, Lewis and Ian finally watch a film that stars 101 Films favourite Joseph Gordon-Levitt, or as he’s affectionately known, Tommy From Third Rock From The Sun. Do the 101 Boys enjoy it? Erm… Best listen to find out. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
May 17, 2012
#25: Crank
After three Lewis recommendations Ian gets his turn. What does he recommend? Um, Crank. Yes this week the boys finally have an excuse to talk about one of the great actors of 21st Century cinema. Jason Statham. Oh my God… Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.
