Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure places at #25 on the list. The film which helped launch Keanu Reeves’ carrer, spawned a sequence, cartoon show and a comic book series.
Ricky D at Sound on Sight takes a look at the film and explores why it has survived as a favorite even today. He notes:
Bill and Ted sparkles with simple charm, a vibrant cast, and a brand of Valley-dude-speech, delivered with perfect timing throughout, by the young cast. It also identifies itself completely with its heroes and their simple philosophy to ‘be excellent to each other’. Unlike the protagonists of recent comedies, Bill and Ted demonstrate a heavy dose of likability, allowing the viewer to keep rooting for them, despite the film’s many shortcomings.
