AFI's Three Years, 3 Laughs: A Countdown of the 12 Greatest DTMT Movies of All-Time!

In honor of Don't Touch Me There's historic Three-Year Anniversary this Friday May 22, the American Film Institute has decided to count down the 12 greatest DTMT films of all-time! It's been quite an undertaking to say the least, with dozens of AFI historians, interns and labor from the penal system combing through hours of classic DTMT footage. AFI then assembled an all-star blue ribbon panel to choose the films. The panel consists of cinematic icons: Roger Ebert, Cornel West, the ghost of Pauline Kael, Cicely Tyson, Hulk Hogan, and legendary director Martin Scorsese's limo driver Joey Scarpaccio.
   The list itself is sure to foster debate, create controversy, and incite race riots. So sit back, enjoy, and take a trip down memory lane as we relive the greatest DTMT films of all-time!
   We begin with the #12 film, 2007's SCIENCE DAD. Hailed during it's release for the way it dealt with questions of science, mortality, and lame family sitcoms, "Science Dad" went on to earn 3 nominations at 2007's Independent Spirit Awards, including a best supporting actor nod for Sean Donnelly in the controversial role of "Monroe", the next door neighbor who enjoyed taking dumps in people's bathrooms. The production was filmed in one day at Amanda Pettit's family home in Long Island, and Pat & Blaine got severely lost while driving back into the city. They had to call up Amanda several times to clarify the directions.
  So with that, we now present the #12 greatest DTMT movie of all-time, SCIENCE DAD.
