- Wayne's World. I've loved Wayne's World since an age when I probably shouldn't have enjoyed a movie like this and should have been watching a Disney movie or something instead of developing my first big screen crush on Tia Carrere.
- The Blues Brothers. Easily one of the best and most iconic comedies ever made, this one is a real classic. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are one of the best duos to ever grace the big screen, and what's even more impressive is that their musical antics aren't just funny, but also worthy of busting some moves on the dance floor.
- MacGruber. This movie may have bombed hard when it hit theaters in 2010, earning just over $8 million at the domestic box office in its entire theatrical run, but it has found quite a sizable audience since hitting home video, rightly taking it to cult comedy status.
- Wayne's World 2. In some ways, this comedy sequel starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey is superior to the original. It relies less on the gags that made the sketch characters famous and features some extremely memorable spoofs of The Graduate and Jurassic Park.

- Wayne's World 2. Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Christopher Walken. 155 votes. After Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) has a dream in which Jim Morrison tells him to put on a rock concert, he and fellow late-night TV star Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) try their hand at promoting.
- Coneheads. Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Michelle Burke. 164 votes. Cone-headed extraterrestrials Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) find themselves in New Jersey after a recon mission for their home planet of Remulak goes awry.
