Drugs, deals, supermarket shifts, fires in Vegas hotel rooms, and about a hundred other things go down in this one night before the sun comes up on the hurtin' side of the street. Wham bam thank you ma'am fun.
Can't Hardly WaitCan't Hardly Wait

Another end of school party, and it's a humdinger. Snappy, silly, and loads of drunken idiot and pining boy fun.
Empire RecordsEmpire Records
Buy used from: $11.25
Never was there a finer establishment than the Empire. Staffed by a motley crew of endearing slackers and hussies, the Rex Manning ramshackle of a day rolls along to a soundtrack of great lines, memorable scenes and awesome music. Damn the man, save the Empire, indeed.
Ferris Bueller's Day OffFerris Bueller's Day Off
Buy used from: $3.07
Ferris takes a day off and gives us one of the most enjoyable, quotable, and memorable movies out there. Twist and Shout on the parade float is one of my all time favorite scenes. It's still so good, I can't believe it's so old- life really does move fast.
Clerks (Collector's Series)Clerks (Collector's Series)

Of all the days I have killed time at a mall, none have ever been this eventful and nowhere near as hilarious.
Before SunriseBefore Sunrise

Before SunsetBefore Sunset
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.41
The perfect follow-up. Imbued with a wash of nostalgia yet completely, vividly in the present, this one has more of a sense of urgency and somehow manages to balance the loss of naivety with hope in a wistful snapshot.

Buy new: $61.49 / Used from: $35.74
It only takes one day for John McLane's world to go bust- four times. Nothing is as good as the first time, a Christmas party at the Nakatomi building with Hans Gruber leading the festivities. Saving the world one yippe-ki-yay at a time.
The RockThe Rock
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.70
Not much happens in Stanley Goodspeed's day- just a little terrorism, biological warfare, a Navy SEAL expedition gone wrong, partnering up with a prisoner, finding out he's going to be a father...oh, and trying to save a few million people. Love it.
