Prepare to feel old.
While there’s plenty of exciting new films to look forward to in 2016, there’s no denying the appeal of watching an old favorite during a lazy afternoon.
With this in mind, here are a few films that will be two decades old in 2016. Jaysus, we feel ancient.
Trainspotting
Watch it again because: The sequel is coming soon and everyone needs to remember just how scary Begbie is.
Happy Gilmore
Watch it again because: Just stay out of my way… or you’ll pay! LISTEN to what I say! Hey, why don’t I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay? I just may! What’d ya say?
That damn alligator.
Swingers
Watch it again because: It’s still money and Vince Vaughn hasn’t changed a bit. Yeah right!
Independence Day
Watch it again because: The aliens are coming this year and we’re going to need Bill Pullman’s speech to pump us up.

The Rock
Watch it again because: You might have forgotten just how good the cast is in this film. That soundtrack is also like a hypodermic needle that’s full of adrenaline being injected directly into your heart.
Scream
Watch it because: I tell you, Billy Loomis was framed. Na, not really but it’s still a wonderful example of the pop-culture chic from ’96.
A Time to Kill
Watch it again because: ‘Making A Murderer’ has gripped us all but this is still one of the best courtroom dramas from the last two decades.
Fargo
Watch it again because: Any film that’s made by the Coen brothers is absolutely timeless.
Space Jam
Watch it again because: Sometimes it really sucks being an adult. Let’s all believe that we can fly again.
From Dusk ’till Dawn
Watch it again because: That wonderful finale when absolute mayhem unfolds.
Kingpin
Watch it again because: Bill Murray will not be beaten. This scene is too funny.
Michael Collins
Watch it again because: It’s a very patriotic year. It’s just a shame that Jonathan Rhys Meyers ruined it all by deciding to shoot ‘The Long Fella’.
