We really can go back in time! BACK TO THE FUTURE is BACK in Theaters starting tomorrow night! Put on your orange vest and grab a Pepsi for the 40th Anniversary! (Btw, writer Bob Gale has said Biff Tannen WAS based on Donald Trump🤯 Time loop complete!)

Get ready for a shock: CALIGULA is back in theaters on Friday. Why? Why was it re-edited? And why did Helen Mirren, Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole and Sir John Gielgud agree to star in this very, very XXX movie? ....I have the answers. https://t.co/SFvMCnLslS

40 years ago today, Claire, Brian, Bender, Allison & Andrew were on Saturday detention together. They'd be 55-58 now. Who do you think #TheBreakfastClub grew up to be?
We'll start. Brian became this guy:

GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE rewards fans by crossing the streams of cameos and the OG cast with the new team, but the story is a little too "deja boo." But still, a fun watch for old and young gens to watch together: https://t.co/tpYbMhkoOv

TODAY is the 40th Anniversary of SPLASH! Did you know Disney made The Little Mermaid because of the success of this Ron Howard mermaid rom-com? Here's how it came together....how it holds up...and what was so, so 80s. https://t.co/AfLVT9aUvH

Please, Louise: Today marks the 40th Anniversary of FOOTLOOSE! To prepare, Kevin Bacon, 25, enrolled at a Utah high school -- he says it played out just like the movie: he was ridiculed & 1 boy "took pity on him" & showed him around. More BTS info here: https://t.co/ZgLsBouB2I

I wonder how many of the female @CriticsChoice members were inspired to go into broadcast journalism through the Mary Tyler Moore show? She inspired me (& I also loved her in The Dick Van Dyke Show -- "Oh Rob!!!"!) She was one in a bazillion. Congrats to the filmmakers.

She WAS Magic. #RIPOliviaNewtonJohn, who always had an ethereal quality. You'll always be our favorite muse.

@Daytonabeachhog You mean that's not an episode of BLUE BLOODS?
That's definitely RUNAWAY, which unlike another movie from 1984 about futuristic killer robots after kids, didn't quite capture the zeitgeist. When did you see this Tom Selleck sci-fi action flick ?

You'll always be the coolest Cool Rider! After seeing GREASE 2 at the mall theater, I went straight over to Camelot Records and bought the cassette. I know those songs TOO well, classics like "Do It For Your Country" and "Reproduction." 😆🥰

#TopGunMaverick is an evolution true to many adults: once our kids (or our best friend's kids) are involved, we become far more responsible and risk-averse. Okay for tweens? Yes. And, it's actually best as a double feature. @CommonSense review: https://t.co/KXmy1purWp
