Love the Tribe! Haven't seen the docu though, hope I can find it

My new choice (and it’s free on Sony Crackle): Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest.

I didn’t know this existed! Cool choice

I profusely apologize to all, especially Cameron H. He asked me to create the thread as he had a busy day. I made him take time out of his day just to come in here. I have no excuse.

Hmm well if I remember our discussion rightly, or at least this is what stuck in my head since then: we mostly all thought the plot was thin. Like, a top-100 all-time movie needs to have more to it than just 'amazing dancing'. If that were the case, we could throw Fast and the Furious on there, just because it has amazing stunts. I actually did like it ok, just not nearly enough to raise it over just about anything on this list so far (I have it at #82 of 92). The blackface, of course, doesn't help at all, and that probably is reason enough to tank it though. Also I think the consensus was there are better films by Fred & Ginger too that aren't hard to credit; they could easily go on this list with something else. (I can't really speak to that, this is still the only Fred & Ginger film I've seen.)

All the promotion, episode title, etc. should be "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," but in the actual episode they make ZERO mention of the film, and the movie they will actually be discussing is 'Queen of the Damned.'

I'm guessing it's just a military motto as described in sites like this. Not unusual for a small military force to have its own slogan a la semper fidelis. Amused to see that the latin version of Deeds Not Words ("facta non verba") is used by Canada's own JTF2 elite strike force. Though "Balls of the Corps" (see #4 on the list) is pretty impressive too. I think it actually makes sense for the movie thematically too, especially at the end, where I guess we are supposed to take away that Strong Men of Action like Ace and Duke are more honest and honourable than weaselly generals putting them in harm's way and then leaving them hanging.

Not to worry! Furthermore, I heartily approve of your use of a Ryan and Shane gif.

When we're talking flimsy, impractical vehicles ridden by handsome blonde heroes into a sci-fi battle, I will always go FLASH (aaahhhh-aahhhh)

Indeed. I feel like this could drive June over a precipice, because she hates robots. At least let them do Bumblebee!

We should not be giving in to terrorists.

Ugh.

When Amy said that there was an 80's movie that made the Colonel Bogey March popular for our generation this was my first thought:
