Rock N’ Roll High School (1979)
Thank goodness Roger Corman decided to go with rock instead of disco. Thank goodness The Ramones we’re chosen over the Scorpions. Thank goodness this ridiculously fun flick exists.

Back to the Future (1985)
A flick about time travel and incestual lust that also happens to be an all-time family-friendly classic?! Great Scott!

Army of Darkness (1992)
This sorta, kinda, sequel to Evil Dead II sends Ash into a renaissance faire version of the past. He comes armed with his chainsaw arm, boomstick, and chemistry book. Along the way, he battles life and pint-sized versions of himself, demons galore, misbehaved books, a tongue twister spell, and, as might be expected, an army of darkness.
Rami ramped up the comedic aspects with each Evil Dead entry, and Army of Darkness succumbs to all-out silliness. While this may disappoint some, don’t let it. Campbell tackles his role with self-awareness, mockery, and sheer bravado. His performance makes the whole movie an absolute romp and firmly secures his status as a cult movie icon.
Ash is one king worth bending the knee to, baby.
AKA: Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness
