5. Bill and Ted's most excellent adventure

5. Bill and Ted's most excellent adventure

In the 90s this was the best comedy out there according to many. Filled with a great revolutionary plot line and is quite possibly one of the best comedies of all time. Great for all ages and still holds up. All the acts are equally  interesting, this movie hooks you in with great story lines and excellent comedic elements. This movie is lead by a fantastic cast including Keannu Reeves, Alex Winter and George Carlin. I know what you are thinking, Keannu Reeves in a comedy, it must be terrible. Contrary to popular belief, the actor who is famous for portraying Neo in the Matrix but he nails it in this flick with great timing and chemistry with the rest of the cast. Time travel is a very popular theme in the cinema of today and this film uses this fictional technology extremely well. The plot of this film involves two wannabe musicians who dream of making it big one day. There is just a slight problem with this plan, these two teens suck tremendously at being rock stars.

Released in 1989, this movies whackenyss is timeless.  A lot of credit has to be given to the stars of the film for portraying their characters so well that the audience were backing them the entire way. Bill's and Ted's most excellent adventure has extremely wide and loyal fan base. These supporters are the reasons for the sequel and quite possibly a third film might be in the works. The second movie is named Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. It is just as loved by fans but critics did not feel the same. I  believe that both movies are most excellent. The two greatest bits in this movie is when the heroes use the power of time travel to the greatest effect when they are at the police station and the music montage at the mall. In the police station they think of the most ridiculous plan to hide keys and messages in the future to find them in the present. This scene was extremely fun to watch. My second favorite part was quite possibly the best music montage in history. Bill and Ted have other things to do so they are forced to leave several historical figures alone in a modern mall. Everything about this part will make you love this movie.
