7. Bill & Ted/Dude, Where's My Car?
Every now and then we all need a break from super heroes, sci-fi action and gratuitous violence. Well, not really. But even so, comedies are fun- especially when theyre of the slacker/stoner variety. In the late 80s & early 90s, Bill S. Preston Esq and Ted Theodore Logan had not just an Excellent Adventure, but a Bogus Journey as well, and in doing so created the basic template that films such a Pineapple Express & the Harold & Kumar franchise later perfected. What worked for Bill & Ted was that they were basically decent guys. They werent smart asses and they werent constantly trying to get laid. All they really wanted was to finish their history paper and play in their band. Similarly, Jesse Montgomery III and Chester Greenburg are a couple of equally earnest (if not particularly bright) young men who are driven by the not-unreasonable ambition to locate Jesses missing car. Put these 4 brain surgeons together and comedic gold is pretty much assured. The only challenge would be to come up with a mission inane enough to challenge the combined intellect of Bill, Ted, Jesse & Chester.
