Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)

Saving my absolute favorite till last. Young Keanu Reeves hasn’t quite figured out how to dodge bullets yet, but that doesn’t stop him from setting off through time to get a good grade on his totally bogus history report.

Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) and Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) stumble through history, dragging Napoleon back to the present time, flirt with princesses in medieval London (nearly getting themselves beheaded) and mispronounce “So-crates” for 89 glorious minutes. You’ll learn more about history from this movie than in any school room. There is also a life lesson to be learned “be excellent to each other and PARTY ON, DUDES!”
