Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Top 10 in Top 10 Best Comedy Movies of All Time
Bill and Ted, two teens from Southern California, are as close as best friends can be, owing to their similarities. They're not very bright, they talk like surfers, and they're fascinated with Wyld Stallyns, their own purportedly heavy metal band. They can't play their instruments, but there's a greater issue that might jeopardize their career as rock stars. Ted's father will send him to military school if they flunk history.
Fortunately, that's when future guy Rufus sends a phone booth back in time to inform Bill and Ted that they'll be revered as saviors and metal masters in the coming decades. Even better, kids may utilize that time-travel technology to bring genuine historical personalities — Joan of Arc, Socrates, Abraham Lincoln — back to their high school as part of their history project. Excellent!
