The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

Matt Damon is great at playing the good guy, which makes his psychotic performance in The Talented Mr. Ripley all the more satisfying. He plays a man who befriends and slowly terrorizes a rich American (Jude Law) living with his girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) in Italy. The '50s-set chiller recalls Hitchcock, and Law even scored an Oscar nod for his performance.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

Speaking of onscreen chemistry, Steve Martin and John Candy nail it in 1987's Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The comedians play two travelers having a serious streak of bad luck while trying to get home in time for Thanksgiving. Candy is possibly the most endearing annoying character of all time.

Spaceballs (1987)

Looking for a satire? Mel Brooks directed Spaceballs, a wacky parody of the space-set movies of the '70s and '80s, most notably Star Wars.

Ghost (1990)

I dare you to watch this movie and not yell "He loves her so much!" at the screen through tears. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore play lovers whose romance is cut short when Swayze is killed in a mugging. Using a medium (Whoopi Goldberg) to communicate, he tries to save his love from an evil associate (Tony Goldwyn). That's right, Scandal's Fitz is evil.

"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger! Can I take your order?" Now that Kenan Thompson is a regular on Saturday Night Live, flash back to the '90s when he was just one half of the comedy duo known as Kenan and Kel. Originally, Good Burger was just a sketch on All That, but Nickelodeon turned it into this little gem of a movie.
