1. “Adventureland”
Nothing beats a good coming-of-age romantic comedy, and this is one of the better ones. Directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad"), it follows James (Jesse Eisenberg) working his summer job at a broken-down amusement park who encounters a summer crush (Kristen Stewart).
2. “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”
The fact that many of us get excited whenever Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter say they are willing to do another "Bill & Ted" movie proves how great this movie still is. The two play dim-witted high school students who must travel through time in a phone booth to ace their history presentation, and save the world (sort of). Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Reeves) are so likable that we can't help but laughing with them through their adventure.
3. “Boogie Nights”
Paul Thomas Anderson's glimpse inside the adult-film world of the late '70s/early '80s is still one of Mark Wahlberg's best performances, as he plays "gifted" newcomer to the industry Dirk Diggler. The dark comedic moments throughout the film are what make it stand out: It never takes itself completely seriously.
