The Ranking of the Stars
by Jack and Emeline
2 hosts, 95 movies, and a compulsive need to numerically rank things. Welcome to The Ranking of the Stars, where two bright-eyed and bushy-tailed hosts are slowly ground down into a fine, quivering powder under the weight of watching every single movie that's won the Oscar for best picture, and ranking them based off however they happen to be feeling at the moment. Also did I tell you the hosts are married? The hosts are married. They love each other and its gross.

60. "The Deer Hunter" (1978)
Hey, you know what we haven't learned enough about? War. Yeah, we should really take a good long look at it. I hear it's bad? We've only dedicated like 20 hours to it on this list though, so I guess we need more data....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

59. "Annie Hall" (1977)
POOP! Is what my son told me to write here. And then... "are you gonna keep the poop?" Yes, I'm going to keep the poop. If only Woody Allen had done the same......Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

56
56. "The Godfather part II" part 2 (1974)
We rejoin the charming gang of murders and drug dealers known as the Corleone family for one last big adventure, and learn a little bit about ourselves and each other along the way.

-
54
54. "The Sting" (1973)
As she rode the Merry-go-around it suddenly struck her as the perfect metaphor for her life: the same cheaply painted characters moving in the same circle until they at last break down and are replaced. She pressed her cheek against the cold support impaling her gaudy horse, closed her eyes, and wished for someway -anyway- out of this life. ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

51
51. "The French Connection" (1971)
You wake up as the dust motes drift lazily through a thin shaft of morning light that cuts like a blade through the darkened room, faint images of red boots and picking feet and street hockey evaporating from your mind and receding back into the mist of your dreams. All you know for sure is that you'll never eat anything out of a puddle again. ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

50
50. "Patton" (1970)

-
48
48. "Midnight Cowboy" (1969)
What better way to celebrate thanksgiving than with gay cowboys and traumatic experiences with grandma?

46
46. "In the Heat of the Night" (1967)
We're finally back in America this week, with all its confusing skinny bald men, vintage Pepsi signs, and, of course, racism. We got a body on our hands and only a few days to solve the case, so buckle up and repress your loneliness, because this case could get ugly. ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-
45
45. "A Man for All Seasons" (1966)
No return to America this week, but we do return to our unfortunate audio issues. What the hell is your problem microphone?

-
43
43. "My Fair Lady" (1964)
Warning to all who dare enter here: the audio on this one is all over the place, and fixing it would take more time and energy than I'm willing to invest, so you get what you get, and you don't pitch a fit. Kinda thematically consistent with the terrible audio in the movie though, so it works out in some cosmic sense....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

42. "Tom Jones" (1963)

-
41
41. "Lawrence of Arabia" Part 2 (1962)
The juice is loose and no one is safe on the thrilling conclusion of... "Lawrence and his many sand tantrums". I'm going to be real with you here though, not nearly as many camels as the first part. I know. Heartbreaking. But we'll make it through this desert. I promise. ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

40. "Lawrence of Arabia" Part 1 (1962)

-
39
39. "West Side Story" (1961)
And little did we know that something big was just around the corner. A whirlwind of dancing, finger snapping, reflections on the nature of hatred and life as an immigrant in America, teenage hoodlums, sexual liberation, and sappy love songs. At last. Movies have become what they were meant to be. POW!...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-
38
38. "The Apartment" (1960)
New decade! Old style! New technology! Old misogyny! The conflict of moving forward while also moving backward continues in this week's ranking as we learn all about flies in orbit and cooking spaghetti with a tennis racket. Also... technically a Christmas movie? I mean... you do see Santa, even if he is drunk......Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG

37. 1950's Retrospective
The decade may be over, but the drama continues as hard choices and brutal betrayals happen left and right in our look back at the most turbulent ten years in the film industry so far.

35
35. "Ben-Hur" Part 1 (1959)
Join us on this week's ranking as we sit at the feet of a magical carpenter and learn the revolutionary idea that maybe murder isn't the best way to resolve conflicts. This... This changes everything! ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-
34
34. "Gigi" (1958)
What happened? We were so young, so happy, so full of life after a pair of great movies... and now all that's left is ashes and darkness. I cried out to God for help, but it was Gigi that answered: "Not even God can help you now"....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-
33
33. "The Bridge Over the River Kwai" (1957)
Join us on this week's ranking as we pour our blood, sweat, and tears into a bridge that will stand the test of time. But are we constructing a triumph or a tragedy?

-
32
32. "Around the World in 80 Days" (1956)
Join us for a whirlwind tour of beautiful locations and iconic characters as we stumble upon an amazing hidden gem in this week's ranking. It may not be our longest episode, but I promise it's the one with the most mispronunciations. Stay till the end for a massive bombshell that will shake this podcast to its core. Our lives, and our lists, will never be the same....Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-
31
31. "Marty" (1955)
The grim specters of tragedy and death lurk in the background of an otherwise simple love story on this week's ranking, as we learn about what a curse it is to be a widow with no children to cook for. What do you feel like listening to tonight? I dunno... what do YOU feel like listening to? ...Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/forgottenLicense code: PFPWTE3SUZLQ0PKG
-

-
27
27. "An American in Paris" (1951)
On this week's ranking we journey to the city of love and encounter an endearing midlife crisis, the world's oldest child prodigy, and an exasperatingly long dance sequence.

-
26
26. "All About Eve" (1950)
Join us for our triumphant return to the airwaves after a month long coughing fit. New schedule, new decade, same old duo just trying to find some good movies.

22
22. "Gentlemen's Agreement" (1947)
Hey audience, do you like fun? Well too bad, because this now officially a no-fun-zone, so sit down, feel guilty, and listen to Phil (the most righteous man to ever grace the earth with his presence) monologue at length about how just being good isn't good enough.

21. "The Best Years Of Our Lives" (1946)
Travel back to a simpler time when alcoholism was just a fact of life, and pancakes were only 12¢ in this week's ranking. It's a movie about veterans coming home from the war, so that means the wars over right? So we don't need any more movies about it... right? Yup, last we'll hear of old WWII for sure.

19. "Going My Way" (1944)
On this week's ranking you'll feel your pulse race as an old man thinks about jumping over a bush, you'll white-knuckle grip you chair as the boy choir sings silent night, and you just might pass out from the thrill of the most brutal checkers match ever caught on film.

17. "Mrs. Miniver" (1942)

16. "How Green Was My Valley" (1941)
The 40's are on a hot streak on this week's ranking as we take a trip back to simpler times to enjoy some good old fashion child labor, public shaming, and the dreaded spector of socialism.

Join us on this week's ranking as we look back on the thirties, hand out some awards of our own, and reminisce about the friends made, the lives lost, and the moments we'll remember, for better and for worse.
