#84 (AFI):
Lost in America
Year: 1985
Directed by: Albert Brooks
Written by: Albert Brooks, Monica Mcgowan Johnson
Starring: Albert Brooks, Julie Hagerty
Seanbaby: Have you ever made your friends laugh by shooting a cheerio out of your nose? What happened after a few minutes? The laughter stopped, didn't it? Because eventually you remember that somewhere in Croatia, a child would have shoved his own brother onto a landmine to get to what you'd thoughtlessly jammed into your nose. It's hard for anyone to laugh with so many starving families in the world. And now thanks to fucking Lost in America, it's even harder.

#84 (IFLS):
Harold and Maude
Year: 1971
Directed by: Hal Ashby
Written by: Colin Higgins
Starring: Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort, Vivian Pickles, Eric Christmas
Seanbaby: This was a touching love story between a suicidal recluse and the walking undead. I'd have some kind of analysis for you, but my brain's gag reflex tells me that's all the time it's going to let me think about Harold and Maude's relationship. Because let's be honest, the elderly shouldn't even get naked to bathe. I can kind of see how Harold fell for her, though. She looked like a corpse that got left out in the flesh-eating rain, but she made up for it by being completely and criminally crazy.
