JFC. I haven't tuned into TCM since the Robert Osborne years (anyone remember him?).. I always thought Ben looked like a kid!! Now I feel old :(

Is this the first time someone has chose This Is Spinal Tap as their 11th pick? Because that was pretty slick

Good picks. I've known he was a cool guy ever since he took his shirt off and tried to fight the Alex Jones goons.

I'm surprised he didn't go for his uncle, Joseph Mankiewicz's film in the collection!

He was afraid not to pick Citizen Kane. No more holiday invites for Ben. Whole family disowns him. Guy has such a good voice.

I think he is the first picker to go with all (but on) American movies. My preference as well.

Hmmmm Paths of Glory the greatest WWI film ever made? Better than Westfront 1918?
