Having already gotten to the end of the decade while playing Kiss Marry Kill, it was time for a change. Welcome to Top Ten, where Bart and Jenna each choose three movies – one they think they’ll love, one they know they love, and one wildcard choice – in hopes of adding to their top ten ranking of the year in question. So… not terribly dissimilar to Kiss Marry Kill.

In this episode, Bart and Jenna play Top Ten with the year 1960, focusing on foreign films they know and/or expect to love. From the most arthouse of arthouse choices, to some deeply cynical satires, all of their selections are worth your time – even if they didn’t all make it into the final rankings.
