Epic Win: Clueless

Feb. 9, 2010

Submitted by Veronica C, who loves Billie Holliday.

Clueless helped define ’90s culture; its fashion and slang influenced the zeitgeist in a serious way. I still hear people quote this movie (If only 1995 was the last time I ever heard “as if!”), and the recent passing of Brittany Murphy (who co-starred in the film) had people talking, once again, about their favorite clueless valley girls. Any scenes that have stuck with you over the last 15 years? Or maybe you would like to lament about the horrid television series spawned after the film became successful? Tell us in the comments.

Epic Win: Encino Man

Feb. 7, 2010

Submitted by The Fuzz, discovered in a block of ice.

Brendan Fraser + Pauly Shore + A film about a million-year-old caveman being unearthed in Los Angeles = Total ’90s nostalgia. I can suspend my disbelief over the whole “caveman being discovered and is still alive” thing, but I can’t do the same when trying to process the plot point that, somehow, the caveman is the key to popularity for two geeky outcasts. But there’s no point getting hung up over a Pauly Shore movie, am I right? Take a trip back to the ’90s with the film trailer above; I apologize in advance if “I’m Too Sexy” is stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Epic Win: National Lampoon’s Vacation

Feb. 3, 2010

Submitted by Fiesta , who’s going to Walley World!

“Getting there is half the fun.” Anyone whose parents ever said that to them knows exactly what to expect. There really is nothing like a John Hughes film to make one feel nostalgic. This being one of his most popular films, it’s especially WIN! This 1983 film introduced us to the Griswold family, who went on to entertain us even more in European Vacation and Christmas Vacation. Tell us about your favorite scenes or quotes in the comments.

Epic Win: Total Recall

Jan. 29, 2010

Submitted by Artest V, who can remember it for you wholesale.

Arnold. Sharon Stone. A screenplay based on a Philip K Dick short story. All the action a person can handle. Sounds like a WIN to me! The film was released in 1990 and performed very well at the box office (and not too horribly with the critics). The director, Paul Verhoeven, went on to direct cinema’s greatest masterpiece, Showgirls. Arnold, of course, went on to star in such films as Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Junior, and Jingle All the Way before eventually becoming “governator” of California.

Epic Win: Turner & Hooch

Jan. 27, 2010

Submitted by Susan V, human de Bordeaux:

What is not to like here? Tom Hanks? A big, slobbery Dogue de Bordeaux (that would be Hooch) that—wait for it—helps solve a crime?! Oh, dog may be man’s best friend, but he is also man’s best costar. This 1989 film performed well at the box office (an attempt at a spin-off television series was even made) depsite later becoming a constant source of jokeage for Mr. Hanks upon becoming more famous.
