Watching Milo & Otis as children is probably the reason we’re all addicted to LOLcats now! Milo & Otis was an epic story!

Drive-Ins were totally Epic Win! What could be better than you’re own private “booth” (aka the front seat of your car) for watching a movie. Or sometimes, you’d bring the pickup truck with the lawnchairs. The real trick was cramming as many people as possible into the vehicle, underneath a stack of blankets, so as to minimize the amount you each had to pay to get in. Or, if you were lucky, your Drive-In charged by the carload. There was also the speakerboxes that were later replaced by the AM/FM stereo broadcast.

“What’s happening hot stuff?”

What would the 80’s have been if it weren’t for John Hughes and Molly Ringwald? Sixteen Candles is an Epic Win for all of it’s crazy quirkiness. Long Duk Dong, the geek, etc., were just icing on the cake of an epic movie that defined a generation.

Clerks came out at a time when all of the movies were so cookie-cutter and stale and it was like a giant breath of fresh air. Nobody expected to walk out of their neighborhood video store with a movie containing scenes like the 37 dicks dialogue, Randall’s Happy Scrappy scene, and the Chiclets gum guy, not to mention one of the most epic duo’s in film history: Jay & Silent Bob.
Dante and Randall said all of the things that we were too afraid to say, and they said it so bluntly that we propelled a comic book nerd’s debut project into the annals of cult film history.

Caution: These scenes are definitely NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Headphones recommended.
