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. Begbie

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. R.I.P. Chubbs

Swingers

Watch it again because: It's still money and Vince Vaughn hasn't changed a bit. Yeah right! Vince Vaughn

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj16vfbsM9A Clip via - TheMaul3r_Real

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. Rock Cage

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. Scream Barrymore

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. Time To Kill

Fargo

Watch it again because: Any film that's made by the Coen brothers is absolutely timeless. Fargo steve

Space Jam

Watch it again because: Sometimes it really sucks being an adult. Let's all believe that we can fly again. Space Jam

From Dusk 'till Dawn

Watch it again because: That wonderful finale when absolute mayhem unfolds. Dusk till

Kingpin

Watch it again because: Bill Murray will not be beaten. This scene is too funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se1-2Gkvko0

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'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1pkbe29910
