“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.

Quite possibly the best childhood movie of all times. If you intend on refuting my claim, be prepared to tell me why I’m wrong and present your case for the movie YOU think deserves the title. Email it to us at onceuponawin@gmail.com.

Long before Wall-E, there was Johnny Five. Johnny Five is alive! And Steve Guttenberg! Any movie is better with The Gutt in it. And even though he totally played on racial stereotypes, The Gutt’s sidekick was hilarious!

The Last Unicorn was an awesomely mature animated film. It also had a star-studded cast for the 1980’s. Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Alan Arkin, and Angela Lansbury to name a few. The red bull was epic and really ignited our imaginations. It also opened the door for many of us to become fans of Hayao Miyazaki, since shortly after finishing this film most of the animators joined his company.
