The 13 Most Gratuitous Nude Scenes in Movies
Warner Bros.

20th Century Fox

And the only rule for your hair was that it had to appear hilarious to anyone not living in the '80s.
With the jukebox broadway musical "Rock of Ages" coming to theaters, we say it's time to grab a pogo ball and hop our way through the historical hallway of hairstyles, searching for what made '80s yearbooks into the comedy treasure chests they've become.

Warner Bros.

But since those two are such buzzkills, we'll focus on what else the date means: high time for stoners everywhere.

Okay, but mostly because they're funny. Get More »
