52. Apes to Man-2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): Thanks to Alien monoliths, mankind evolved from apes to man. In this version, tool use was the key. In real life, chimps, wasps, and octopus all use tools.

53. The Funeral Oration- Julius Caesar (1953): One of the great speeches in history delivered by Mark Antony. It fired the crowd up against Caesar’s assassins and changed the course of Western History.

55. I’m Melting/Ding Dong the witch is dead-The Wizard of Oz (1939): When I worked at Comerikkka, a really obnoxious bitch got fired. People around the office sang this song.

56. Girls don’t float-Frankenstein (1931): One of the creepiest scenes ever. A little girl throws flower petals into a pond. Frank digs it, so he decides to see if a little girl can float like the petals.

57. The Speech-The Pride of the Yankees (1942): Lou Gehrig probably played a few years with ALS. Amazing considering the high standard he set.

59. Here’s Johnny!- The Shining (1980): Jack makes a great psychopath.

60. The question- Dirty Harry (1971): Once again, Clint Eastwood teaches us how to deal with criminals. While we are at it, perhaps we could deal with the ACLU the same way.
