Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
This one won’t make many classic lists. It won’t make many lists at all, unless you count lists of movies that need to be thrown out. But it is typically good for an afternoon (or morning, as the case may be) of fun. Starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (talk about diverging career paths) as two high schoolers on the verge of flunking history.
Lucky for them, Rufus (played by the inimitable George Carlin) is on his way from the future with a time-traveling phone booth that will allow them to pick up some of history’s most notable characters, bring them back to present-day San Dimas, and pass their history report.
