Like many of the writers here, I’ll have to single out another Jim Henson classic: “Labyrinth.” The first few times I saw it as a kid, I liked everything about the movie except the ending. “How could the creatures from the movie suddenly magically appear in her bedroom?” I asked myself. “And aren’t most of those

But my point was that “Trainspotting” was inescapable in 1996 and certainly a highlight in pop culture in general, and not one person picked it. It’s like asking people what their favorite movies were in 1977 and no one picking “Star Wars.”

“Star Wars” nerd/OCD/Roman numeral correction alert: The photo caption is wrong. “The Empire Strikes Back” was actually “Episode V” (5), not “IV” (4), which was “A New Hope,” i.e., the first one. Crawls back into “Star Wars” nerd/OCD/Roman numeral correction cave.

I was thinking the same thing. Also, it seems Rabin ripped off David Spade's joke in his old "Hollywood Minute" bit on "SNL" when he said, "I saw 'Casino' this weekend, and I have to say, I really liked it…wheeennn it was called 'Goodfellas'!"

As many people have already rightly pointed out, how the hell is “Trainspotting” not on here, while there’s “Arthur” and “Harriet the Spy”? Even the movie’s soundtrack was iconic. (Besides the soundtrack, I also owned the poster with Ewan McGregor’s “Choose life” monologue and proudly hung it on my dorm-room wall.) I

For three years in a row, Cuba Gooding Jr. starred in my favorite movies of their respective years: “Jerry Maguire” in 1996, “As Good As It Gets” in 1997, and “What Dreams May Come” in 1998. Then he made “Pearl Harbor,” “Snow Dogs,” and “Boat Trip.”

I guess for a movie about a crazy Christopher Walken giving Adam Sandler a magical remote control that lets him hop, skip, and jump across his life’s timeline, that unfortunate song choice took me out of the story.

It always bothered me that “Click” used “Linger” by The Cranberries as the song that bonded Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale during the movie’s ‘80s flashback because “Linger” is not only from the ‘90s, it’s a quintessentially ‘90s song by a quintessentially ‘90s band. That’s like the ‘70s teens of “Dazed and

Um, why the giant?

Trump thinks Whoopi Goldberg, an EGOT winner, is a “B-actor”?? Sure, she’s no Scott Baio….

As listed in the intro, I’d have to go with Billy Crystal from “Deconstructing Harry,” which I still feel is one of Woody Allen’s most underrated films. (I’d say it’s in his top five when there was just an “Entertainment Weekly” article ranking all of Allen’s films placing it near the bottom.) Crystal’s devil on life:

I'm going to be there, so I'll be scoping the crowd for Norton. *checks tickets* No, wait. I'm going to Wednesday's show. Never mind.

Who's going to replace the late, great Alan Young as the voice of Scrooge McDuck? I would've thought that piece of information would've been revealed.

The “Not Another…” movies were sort of a franchise (“Not Another Date Movie,” “Not Another Sci-Fi Movie,” “Not Another Celebrity Movie,” “Not Another B Movie,” even “Not Another Not Another Movie,” etc.). Good Charlotte has a cameo as themselves in "Not Another Teen Movie."

When I worked on my college newspaper, we used to ask silly questions to people in the quad. One of the questions was, “If you could ask a fictional character anything, who and what would it be?” My favorite answer: “Grimace, what ARE you?”

I think the movie he’s trying to remember is “Not Another Teen Movie.” Uh, I know this because…reasons.

I saw “Ghostbusters 2” in theaters, and that scene with the kids demanding He-Man just totally rang false to me. Even as a former He-Man fan, I remember thinking, “He-Man hasn’t been popular in at least 2 years! How long were they writing this movie?” Also, side trivia: Ivan Reitman’s son, Jason Reitman (director of

I didn't want to ruin the magic for the rest.

I have to admit, I was a little taken aback by Conan O’Brien’s self-proclaimed “fakery” when I went to see him live back in the ‘90s on his original show, only because he seemed like such a down-to-earth, nerdy guy like me. Before the show’s taping, he came out onstage and had someone from the audience “rock out” with
