The Rules Of The Game

The Rules Of The Game

Bonjour, nos amis! Auteur Jean Renoir's beloved French classic is the subject of the Next 163 Project. This is the rare film that actually gets better as it goes along. Jolly Renoir himself is a big highlight in this large cast of "Upstairs, Downstairs" characters. His picture was hated by his countrymen upon release 80 years ago, partly because it mocks the upper class who are oblivious to what's going on around them (ie. the impending real-life war). For this film to elicit hatred says a lot about how thin-skinned the human race is. Anyway, fly your plane across an ocean and then plant yourself directly in the Friend Zone as you fire up our tongue waggle. Why? Well, everyone has their reasons.

The French would approve of you buying a lot of Sparkplug Coffee (Cafe?), so do that. The 20% discount they'll give you by using our promo code ("top100project") definitely still applies.

The Rock

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
