Read more: Monty Python And The Holy Grail (1975)O.K., what in the heck is going on here? Since the prospect of seeing a new movie at the theater now seems hopeless, I’m on a mission to seek the Holy Grail of all movies. Besides, I’d rather re-watch a favorite movie a dozen times, than watch a new stink-bomb like 365 Days. Now, Airplane!…

Read more: Airplane! (1980)Airplane! is surely (don’t call me that!) one of the greatest works of movie comedy ever made.

If you asked me to name a film that was the perfect embodiment of the charm of midnight movies, it would be Army of Darkness. Perfectly fun, endlessly quotable, and never dull.
