Welcome to the CineFix Top 100! Our biggest list yet! Clint Gage and his co-hosts Michael Calabro and Alex Stedman compiled lists of their own personal top 100’s, which were subsequently smashed together by a nonsense algorithm to create an unwieldy and surprising list of 100 VERY good movies. Every monday we’ll be talking about one of them and finding out exactly where it ended up on our list and for our very first episode… today… we celebrate… OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin’s first foray into global destruction cinema brought us some truly Brilliant Moments and Clint, Cal and Alex dig into the practical and miniature effects that allow the movie to hold up all these years later, where it ranks among Will Smith movies, whether or not it’s peak Jeff Goldblum, Things You Didn’t Know about the film’s casting and behind the scenes and finally, Cal reveals his utter disdain for one of the characters before we found out how high this epic disaster masterpiece ranks in the CineFix Top 100.

Hey everyone, we’re really sorry about the tinny audio on this first episode. This long form podcast thing is kinda new to us. It’ll be fixed for the next one. Thank you for your patience

@jonsmith1956 Год назад

While this is best with video, would you guys be making this a podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts? I'd certainly be interested in a podcast from you guys!

Fun Fact: According to producer/co-writer Dean Devlin, the U.S. military had agreed to support the film by allowing the crew to film at military bases, consulting the actors who have military roles, etc. However, after learning of the Area 51 references in the script, they withdrew their support.

@KSchorrWriter Год назад

I love idea and a weekly show a lot - but wow the run time is out of hand. A podcast that takes over an hour is just excessive. I know this is new but there was a lot of talking over each other where points were lost - particularly Micheal talking over Alex - at one point she says, "There are 2 scenes I ..." and he cut her off and we didn't get the second scene she wanted to highlight. Also I know this is #1 - but - I was much less interested in office chatter about Dan and how the list works and much more interested in the film and why it got on the list. If you cut out needless chatter about internal stuff and had just a touch more organization this could have been 45 minutes easy and we wouldn't have missed any points about the movie. The great thing about Cinefix movie lists is it just gets to the movies and stays on topic - not goes off on how the top 10 was selected. Great idea, but needs some more polish on the execution.

@PtrOBrn Год назад

For me ID4 will forever be the biggest film event ever. I was 19 working at a movie theater when this thing released. They ran a decoration contest and I built a 20 foot diameter saucer flying out of the back wall of our theater shooting a skybeam into a building. We ran it on 8 of the 10 screens our theater had on 6 prints (two interlocked rooms). We had a concession cart that had never been used before and as concessions crew chief I was walking up and down the ilse before the movie started selling popcorn, sodas, and candy. We had never had all box office and concession stands open until this flick.

@Aleckai Год назад

I rewatched this earlier this year. Of course I loved it as a kid, but was super impressed with it as an adult! Some of the dialogue is fantastic, it's full of over the top action and set pieces, it knows when to slow it down, and when to ramp it up. Super fun to revisit.

@dennisblogg Год назад

One thing I love about the computer virus being what saves the day is how it's a modern twist to War of the Worlds. I'd never seen it but decided to watch it in preparation for this podcast and the moment they mentioned a "cold" I thought they were going to use a bioweapon and was surprised at the "twist" of it being a computer one

@mariaghiglieri78 Год назад

I thought the virus worked because all our tech was developed from the alien tech found in Area 51-this is why our systems could speak to eachother.

@greggartdept 11 месяцев назад

That was a plot point I couldn’t get behind….were aliens Mac or PC??? Did I miss a line in the movie that explained how this was possible?

@Summer_Snows 11 месяцев назад

@greggartdept Its a cheesy 90s blockbuster, you arent supposed to think too hard about the computer science just accept that it works

@jasonschuler2256 11 месяцев назад

⁠@@greggartdeptIt’s obviously unrealistic that one guy could do it so quickly, but there’s nothing impossible about it. That’s like saying if a software engineer were used to developing Linux, it’d be _IMPOSSIBLE_ for them to develop any code for Microsoft. No, they would just need time to get familiar with Windows’ architecture. Like I said, it’s probably unrealistic for someone to do it as quickly as he did in the movie, but it’s not impossible.

Can't believe a Roland Emmerich film is on a 100 greatest films of all time list. That's kind of ridiculous.

@bowietwombly5951 Год назад

Just like this film! But it’s hard to argue that it’s not a glorious, fantastic, silly romp

@majestyzx9081 Год назад

@@bowietwombly5951glorious and fantastic, eh. Silly, yes. Definitely not top 100. We're at the point in film now where you can actually go back 100 years and pick a film from each year to represent a list like this, some years might get two, maybe three, depending on the quality of films that year. Trainspotting, Fargo, and From Dusk till Dawn all came out in 96 alongside Independence Day.

@axnyslie Год назад

I think they just wanted to discuss ID4 on the July 4th weekend for clicks. The more obvious and better choice for a top 100 film associated with the Fourth of July would be Jaws.

@Meesterlijker Год назад

I agree, as much as I love Independence Day, I kind of wish they would just go full nerd mode with this list and include only actual masterpieces, because you could easily make even a top 1000 out of those. Emmerich has no place here

I am absolutely flabbergasted that you didn't talk about the score. I may not watch the movie every year, but I listen to that main theme at least every month or two. It's just absolutely beautiful while also being action packed and exciting. It's doing a lot of the heavy lifting in making this film iconic, and that score is MVP just behind Roland Emmerich.

@SirJamestheIII 10 месяцев назад

The extended cut actually changed my mind about this film. Used to think decent summer blockbuster and now i agree it is masterful. They didn't really emphasize the back stories of smith and goldblum and their respective motives in the theatrical cut and I thought that ended up being one of the more impactful parts of the movie.

@batgurrl Год назад

Excellent analysis but calling it a masterpiece is pushing it. It’s riddled with errors, cliches and improbabilities. Destruction is one of my favorite things to see and the countdown scene was superb. Explosion of the White House was ICONIC. The Boomer section in the tunnel was ridiculously executed. Age differences in movies are sometimes glaring. Glenn Close who played Robin Williams mother in The World according to Garp was only 5 years older. Anne Bancroft was only 5 years older than Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, playing his parents good friends😎

It’s probably not, but I like the idea that this top 100 list is a parody, where increasingly bad/flawed movies are going to be named, and all of the cast will try to be polite about the movie because they think their coworkers genuinely loved the movie, but actually these are movies in nobodies top 100. Unlikely, but Independence Day is a movie I’ve heard talked about much more negatively than positively recently.
