The year is 1960 and if you got a lady in nowhere to go then I got an apartment for you the movie the apartment

Hey everybody welcome to on spooled how you do and I am Paul Sheer Amy Nicholson is away on assignment and

Sundance you can follow her on Twitter or she's posting reviews of all the movies that she's seen but she's actually going to be here for today's

episode which is about the apartment I'm just doing the wraparounds at the top here

If you don't know what unspooled is about let me tell you this is a podcast where we go through the AFI's top 100 greatest films of all time

And see if they are as good as people say do they hold up and how have they influenced the filmmakers of today and I have to say the apartment is

One of these films in my opinion

But you will also hear Amy's opinion about this film as well

We'll get into all of that in just a second

But I want to go back to last week's episode where we talked about the wild bunch and on the Facebook group

You on spools were pretty divided on this movie like a pretty much a 50

50 split I know that I've talked to a lot of people who said yes

Peck and Paul belongs in this list

But not the wild bunch a lot people think bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia is the one that should belong on this list

But let's see what people are saying on the message boards and in other spots

Mark Evan Nath writes screenwriting gurus Sidfield actually knew Peck and Paul and according to him

Peck and Paul said he would structure his films this way the first half of the film would lead up to a big event

And the second half would be the consequences of that event

You know, that's interesting that you say that because I would argue the wild bunch is

Decidedly not that it's sort of like a big event that opens the movie and then the whole rest of the movie is

The consequence of that. I mean so in a way yes, but in another way

It's right at the start there. Maybe this is the way that he came up with this style and and there are other things along the way
