Endlessly quotable': why Wayne's World is my feelgood movie

Early in 1992's Wayne's World, a bunch of rockers squeeze into an AMC Pacer with custom flames painted on the side. As they drive past the automarts, car washes and beef stands of downtown Chicago, Bohemian Rhapsody plays on the car stereo.

How Drew Struzan's incredible posters made me love movies

I might wonder what the appeal of a film about a high-flying 80s businesswoman inheriting a baby was to a kid were it not so plainly funny, spanning Keaton's talents from screwball to synonymous with comfort, and a curious lens on adult life.
