The 1982 classic 'Porky's' helped create the teen film genre. It also spawned three sequels -- 'Porky's II: The Next Day,' 'Porky's Revenge!' and 'Pimpin' Pee Wee' -- and even featured a future A-lister in randy gym coach Kim Cattrall
After 'The Little Mermaid,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' and 'Aladdin,' Disney animation was on a roll. Still, almost no one predicted the titanic box office success of 'The Lion King,' a monster hit that remains
While 'Wet Hot American Summer' might sound like some sort of pornographic movie, we assure you it's not. It's actually a cult classic comedy with a cast of people who were mostly unknowns at the time. Today, some of them have gone on to receive Emmy and Academy Award nomination.

A well-established sitcom trick is to get the mom out of the equation and let comic mayhem ensue. ('Full House,' anyone?) Because women are no fun and men are terrible parents harharhar (*stereotypes FTW.*)
'Blossom' took it to the extreme -- the Russo family mom had left home to have her own life, leaving Blossom, her two older brothers and her dad to fend for themselves (she didn't even have the heart to die like the awesome mom on 'Full House').
