No way!! Way!! Wayne's World is turning 25 years old on February 14, and to celebrate, the movie that gave a generation such bodacious catch phrases like well...bodacious, is hitting select theaters all over the U.S. (sadly don't see any Canada dates...) February 7 & 8. Are you going to take in a special screening of the movie?
Are you kidding? Absolutely! Party time! Excellent!

Twenty-five years ago ridiculous rock 'n' roll comedy "Wayne's World" hit theaters producing half a dozen catchphrases that continue to be used to this day. Based on a "Saturday Night Live" sketch starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, the film also stars Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere, Lara Flynn Boyle, Brian Doyle-Murray, Chris Farley and includes cameos from musicians like Meatloaf and Alice Cooper. It became a cult classic, and even had a sequel, Wayne's World 2 in 1993. As strange as it may seem, this movie was responsible for some of our current vocabulary...NOT! It also had its soundtrack infiltrate our music culture. How many of these great Wayne's World music moments do you remember fondly?
