From the emotional conclusion of the Infinity Saga to one of the wildest bachelor parties in movie history, a modern musical classic, Pixar's celebration of family and memory, and the fashion world of Runway magazine, these films delivered unforgettable characters, performances, music, humor, and emotion.

🦸 Avengers: Endgame (2019) brought the Infinity Saga to an emotional conclusion. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, and the rest of the MCU cast returned as Earth's heroes faced Thanos and attempted to undo the devastation of Avengers: Infinity War. From time travel and the Quantum Realm to the final battle and some unforgettable goodbyes, Endgame became a defining cinematic event.

🍻 The Hangover (2009) follows Phil, Stu, Alan, and Doug after a bachelor party in Las Vegas goes completely off the rails.

🎹 La La Land (2016) stars Ryan Gosling as jazz musician Sebastian and Emma Stone as aspiring actress Mia.

We're revisiting five unforgettable movies that span generations and genres: Grease, Forrest Gump, Clueless, The Shining, and Beetlejuice!

From 1950s high school romance and one man's incredible journey through American history to Beverly Hills fashion, psychological horror, and supernatural comedy, these movies couldn't be more different. Yet each became a memorable part of movie history and continues to attract new audiences.

🎸 Grease (1978) takes us to Rydell High, where Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson fall in love over the summer — only to discover they're attending the same school. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John lead an unforgettable cast that includes Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway, Didi Conn, and the rest of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies. With songs like Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin', and You're the One That I Want, Grease became one of the most iconic movie musicals ever made.

👻 Beetlejuice (1988) brings Tim Burton's bizarre and imaginative world to life as a recently deceased couple discovers that getting rid of the living occupants of their home isn't as easy as they expected.
