The Silver Screen Dudes

Worlds Collide! We've been promising it all week on our Instagram account, and as promised, here we go. This is our first ever collaboration with London's own Big Picture Film Club. To mark this debut of forces, we thought it would be appropriate to count down the TOP 10 Directorial Debuts. With 4 presenters, instead of the normal 2 dudes, it's twice the fun this week. Amazingly, there was very li...

In honour of the release of The Irishman, we are counting down the TOP 10 movies of one of the greatest (maybe THE greatest?) film makers of all time: the incomparable and iconic Martin Scorsese. Known first and foremost as the king of the gangster flick, and for good reason. Dig a bit deeper though, and incredible wealth of knowledge is displayed on screen depicting various forms of mental disord...

In honour, of the release of Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining which, let's face it, is one of the creepiest, goose-bump inducing films of all time, we thought it would be fun this week to go a bit left-field. We're counting down the TOP 10 nMoments in movies that gave us goosebumps. We're not talk as a result from just being scared either. We mean moments that thrilled us, shocked us, made...

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!!!! Another year, another horror special, and another failure from us... Last year, we promised you an entire month of horror throughout October, counting down the TOP 10 Horror Movies from each decade. We failed... But did deliver the highly predictable TOP 10 Horror Movies. This year, we promised you an an entire month of horror throughout October, counting down the TOP 10...

It's a fan selection episode this week, and in honour of our fan, Alexander Hasso's list, we are counting down the TOP 10 Battles in Movies. We were not given any specifications for this topic so we've kind of gone nuts! From intellectual battles to Martial Arts face offs, to epic battles, to even rap battles (bet that gives away something?). Want to pitch a topic and get a shout out on our ever-g...

In honour of the release of The Joker - which, by the way, you need to go and see - we thought the time was perfect to do a TOP 10 Special and Rank the Batman villains in Movies. For this list, for the sake of avoiding such an obvious number 1, we are not including Heath Ledger's Joker as it makes the eventuality far too predictable. We did toy with the idea of including villains from the games an...

In honour of the release of Disney's Dora movie (this was literally a blink and you'll miss it release here in the UK), the Silver Screen Dudes are throwing together their Top 10 favourite Treasure Hunt Movies. Aside from the obvious like Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, there are some genre defining entries into this list, including some superb animes, some genre-defining westerns, pirates, and even...

With Hobbs and Shaw nearing the end of it's run in theatres, we finally got around to seeing it (quick review can be found on our Instagram page), and while the movie was dead average visual noise, The Rock was predictably charming and screen filling as always. As such we decided to count down the TOP 10 Movies featuring a wrestler, though we adding a special stipulation: we're only allowed to use...

So we're a bit late to the party bringing you this one (reason being, one of us was on holiday...), but better late than never. To mark the technological cinema landmark that is the new photo-real Lion King (not live action), we are counting do3n the TOP 10 technologically groundbreaking movies in cinema history. From a piece of tech like in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, to a new camera use...

In honour of his latest stellar role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in which he is surrounded by an equally stellar cast and still steals the show, we are counting down the TOP 10 Bard Pitt Movies. To most, he is the quintessential Hollywood Hunk - understandable when you consider movies like Ocean's 11, Troy and Legends of the Fall. To the Silver Screen Dudes, he is a character...

This is a strange long-overdue one. We've been doing this now for over a season and a half, and going through our back catalog of episodes, we have noticed that there is a SERIOUS lack of female representation in our topics, and for this we apologise. We're going to keep it balanced of course, but this is a long-overdue episode, as until now, there have been two episodes that focused on women in H...

In honour of the release of his 9th Movie, we are counting down the TOP 10 Quentin Tarantino Movies. "How does that work or make sense?" we hear you ask! Well some of you may know, and others may not - which hey, is why the Silver Screen Dudes are here - that Tarantino has contributed, produced, introduced and written a vast array of other mesmeric projects which is why this podcast is here. Very...

In honour of the release of Anna (ok we admit "honour" might be stretch coz it's not great), we thought we would take the opportunity to count down some of the TOP 10 Movie Heroines that actually are great! When done properly, a well written, well performed female character is one the most empowering symbols in all of film. The roles we have picked never pander, never just exist"because we need a...

It's Pride weekend here in London!!! And what better way to celebrate everything pride, rainbows and acceptance than counting down the TOP 10 LGBTQ+ movies. There are some absolutely stunning films in this sub-genre from mainstream blockbusters, classics, some TV movies and hidden indie gems, we cover it all in this episode. Also joining us is our first ever guest speaker, Jazz from the People's P...

Ok, ok, we know we are a little late on this one as Aladdin has been ut for a while now, but... In honour of Aladdin, we are counting down the TOP 10 Will Smith movies. This guy epitomised the Summer Blockbuster, and for an age, every single summer, we were all looking forward to the new Will Smith movie (many of his Summer Blockbusters feature here). That said, Will has also got some serious come...

Time for another fan selection episode! Our regular listener Lizzie has requested a TOP 10 of Jake Gyllenhal Movies, and with the impending release of Spider-Man Far From Home, which will star Jake as the beloved villain, Mysterio, what better time to count down Jake Gyllenhal's TOP 10 Movies!? To say that his filmography is unique would be an understatement! Very few actors on the planet (if any?...

In honour of Detective Pikcahu - which tried (and failed) to break the mould and age old stereotype of video game movies = bad movies - we thought we would explore that stereotype in full this weekend and count down the TOP 10 Worst Video Movies. What can we say? It's literally in the title... this genre has produced some awe-inspiring piles of terrible calamitous crap, and it's time to enjoy (?)...

In honour of Avengers: Endgame (seriously... how many times have we written that recently?), and it's tremendous success in becoming the 2nd most successful film of all time - at the time of writing this, it may be #1 at the time of reading - we thought it appropriate to honour epic movies with epic runtimes. This week we are counting down the TOP Movies that have a runtime of 3 hours or movie. Fr...

We've done it movie fans! We've made it to 50 EPISODES!!! Half a century of edutainment, 50 episodes of movie talk, hours of fun between Anthony "AJ" Jordan and Nico Lurot, The Silver Screen Dudes. We hope you've enjoyed the ride so far? To mark this "momentous occasion" we're doing something special. Way back on our first episode, we did the TOP 10 Movies Iconic to 90's kids, and we thought we wo...

Ok, ok, we may be a bit late on this one, but we finally managed to get around to seeing Hellboy (and it's definitely worth a watch!), so we thought, in honour of HellBoy why not count down the TOP 10 Movies based on Graphic Novels. From Frank Miller's epics like Sin City and 300, to movies you bet you didn't even know were based on Graphic Novels like Road to Perdition and Edge of Tomorrow, and n...

In honour of absolutely nothing other than the fact that we wish to do this (forgive us guys, we can't make it relevant every week, but we will always make it fun), the Silver Screen Dudes are counting our TOP 10 Guilty Movie Pleasures. Nowhere to run here: you will find out the 10 movies that we realise are objectiveky bad (and sometimes terrible), but we love anyway. Movies are subjective, but w...

In honour of the imminent release of Avengers: EndGame, and what could be his last role as Iron Man, we are honouring the career of the wonderful and charismatic Robert Downey Jr, and counting down his TOP 10 M0vies and Performances. From cult-noire films like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, to brilliant comedies like Tropic Thunder, dramatic powerhouse performances like in The Judge and his Oscar nominated...

In honour f the release of Dumbo, we're going a bit left field. Seems every we look online this week, it's countdowns of Tim Burton and Michael Keaton (both worthy of course), but on this occasion we want to honour the real star of the movie: the Animal! :) So this week, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 movies about Animals, with a small caveat: No animations as we thought it w...

This week, we are doing something special, something that most movies have a theme of or a scene of, or even focus on in their entirety, because we are counting down the TOP 10 Movie deaths. From moments of suspense mastery like Hitchcock' infamous shower scene in Psycho, to animated deaths like Optimus Prime, franchise deaths like Han Solo biting the dust, we're not gonna keep listing here coz th...
