But what's the "edgiest" scene (played for laughs) in its latest installment, "American Reunion"? A shot of Jason Biggs' fully exposed member, of course.
Welcome to the most over-used cliche in contemporary R-rated comedies. Get More »

Before They Were Famous: Alyson Hannigan in 'My Stepmother Is an Alien'
Columbia Pictures
Though she's known these days as the sweet and innocent Lily on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," Alyson Hannigan's biggest contribution to pop culture is indisputably her role as the sweet and not-so-innocent Michelle Flaherty in the "American Pie" franchise.
Her character's big reveal at the climax of the classic 1999 teen comedy, in which the audience's (and protagonist Jim's) perception of her goes from tame to over-the-top with one unforgettable "band camp" story, is a scene that has achieved near mythic status among millennial moviegoers, and we've all got a special place in our hearts for her because of it. However, Hannigan's very first starring role came more than a decade before she rocked Jason Biggs' world, in the sci-fi comedy "My Stepmother Is an Alien." Get More »

The 25 Most Essential '90s Movies
Miramax
There's a reason you've recently had the urge to bust out your plaid shirts, Celine Dion albums and dial-up modems, as this week sees the release of two relics of the 1990s: "Titanic 3D" and "American Reunion."
Since both of these movies make us think back to a more innocent time when Monica Lewinsky was an eager young White House intern, our money wasn't on fire and Twittering was a weird body tic, we're reminiscing about that decade's most influential and essential cinematic treasures for future generations. It wasn't easy to narrow down the list (next time, "Problem Child 2," next time ...) but if we were to preserve only 25 flicks from the '90s in a time capsule, they would be these (listed in alphabetical order).

Hell hath no fury like an apple pie scorned.

Even though his most famous onscreen character remains as puerile as possible — sure, Stifler's got a desk job, but that won't stop him from pooping in someone's beer cooler — Seann William Scott has confirmed that he's tying the knot.
The genial actor, who won us over with his recent turn in the hockey flick "Goon," is getting hitched to model Lindsay Frimodt.
Sean William Scott told E! Online at the "American Reunion" premiere that he doesn't "know how I got a girl like my fiancée." Surely it wasn't with any of the "S**t Stifler Says," right? Get More »
