Can’t Hardly Wait (1998)
Thecoming-of-age moviesthat take place within 24 hours are my personal favorite. At the top sitDazed and Confused,The Breakfast Club,andAmerican Graffiti. Somewhere below that tier sitsCan’t Hardly Wait, the teen comedy that predominantly takes place at a high school party.
The senior class at Huntington Hillside High convenes for a graduation party. Shy kids, like Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry), want to tell their crush (Jennifer Love Hewitt) how they feel. The nerds, like William Lichter (Charlie Korsmo), hope to exact revenge on their bully (Peter Facinelli). If you’re Kenny (Seth Green) and Denise (Lauren Ambrose), all that matters is escaping a locked bathroom.Can’t Hardly Waitdoes not reinvent the wheel, but its charming cast and hilarious gags are a welcome addition to the high school genre.

Basic Instinct (1992)
Sharon Stone is a member of the “Femme Fatale Hall of Fame” with her performance inBasic Instinct. After the murder of a rock star, homicide detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) is tasked with finding the killer. The suspect is the girlfriend, Catherine Tramell (Stone), a crime novelist whose recent book mirrors her boyfriend’s murder.
Instead of investigating Catherine, Nick engages with her in a sexually driven affair. The affair with Catherine negatively affects his relationship with Dr. Elisabeth Garner (Jeanne Tripplehorn), who also becomes a suspect in the murder case. While I wouldn’t recommend watching this movie with your family,Basic Instinctis the addictiveerotic thrillerthat today’s audiences have been begging for more of.
