IT WAS THE 90s • 01 : Tremors (1990)
Ron Underwood's Tremors (1990) is a love letter to the craft of practical special effects. And also.... Kevin Bacon.
This movie has everything: survivalists, poop jokes, and Kevin Bacon running from giant human-eating underground worms that explode in the most glorious fashion.

State and Main (2000)
David Mamet's State and Main (2000) is as much about the one-liners as it is about the nightmare of Hollywood producers.
This movie has everything: potholes, Patti LuPone, and the chance to make the same mistake twice.
