Time Bandits
Why this pick
Its episodic historical hopping, handmade fantasy visual flair, and anarchic humor offer a more mischievous but similarly imaginative spin on history as a playground.
03
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Why this pick
For the same sincere, offbeat charm: a wildly imaginative sci-fi comedy treats its ridiculous universe, oddball heroes, and rock-and-roll energy with total confidence.
04
Dude, Where's My Car?
Why this pick
Two sweet-natured dimwits stumble through escalating sci-fi nonsense, driven less by cynicism than by the same breezy buddy chemistry and quotable, playful silliness.
05
Hot Tub Time Machine
Why this pick
A raunchier, adult version of the time-travel hangout comedy, pairing an easygoing friend dynamic with 1980s nostalgia and consequences that stay agreeably ridiculous.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In 1988 San Dimas, California, slackers Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) would rather pursue their band the Wyld Stallyns than schoolwork. Ted's father, the local police chief, threatens to send Ted to military school if they should flunk their history class, ruining their dreams of success. The two struggle to assemble a final report for the class, which is to describe how historical figures would see modern-day San Dimas.
