Starring: Meryl Streep, Roseanne Barr, Ed Begley Jr., Linda Hunt, Sylvia Miles

B-Sides, Meryl Streep: Although her dramatic roles may get the most attention, Meryl Streep’s comedic performances truly show off her powers. As Mary Fisher in She-Devil she lets loose as a privileged narcissist, with absolutely wild physical comedy.

Roseanne Barr takes her messy wife routine to the next level when she stars as a frumpy housewife and mother named Ruth Patchett in She-Devil. Unkept and a total mess, she’s the exact opposite of beautiful and wealthy romance novelist Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep). Though different in every way, the do have one thing in common: Ruth’s account husband Bob. Although Bob always thought his wife was a total disaster, once he decides to leave her for someone more put together, all bets are off for Ruth. Bent on revenge, she pulls out all the stops in her mission to become the ultimate domestic demon!

Flesh eating scarabs, an endless sandstorm, an army of the dead — not to mention The Mummy. One part Indiana Jones, one part Universal horror, Stephen Sommer’s The Mummy combines the best of 90’s CG spectacle with classic swashbuckling swagger and the occasional gross-out horror gag. The plot’s like something out of a 20’s radio serial, an American adventurer meets up with a team of archeologists who accidentally wake up Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian priest damned to eternal life. With an army of the dead at his back, Imhotep’s ever growing power threatens to engulf the entire planet in darkness. Save us, Brendan Fraser!

Starring: Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury, Henry Silva, James Gregory

In 1962, the iconic thriller The Manchurian Candidate foretold the story of media in shaping public opinion in an insider threat (homegrown terrorism anyone?) about a Korean War hero secretly programmed as a sleeper mole to assassinate a Presidential candidate.  The pseudo-documentary initially flopped at the box office, was banned in Soviet bloc countries, and withdrawn from circulation after the assassination of JFK. It was also remade in 2004 with Denzel Washington and a demonic Hillary Clinton (whoops! Meryl Streep) to add, umm, color.  The original, starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, still stands up with a Hitchcock-like climax.

Starring: Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Suzanne Pleshette, Jessica Tandy, Veronica Cartwright, Ethel Griffies

Killer animal movies can be pretty easy: tons of people are already afraid of sharks, loads of people can’t stand spiders, Indiana Jones hates snakes… but birds? Hitchcock manages to take some of natures most innocuous creatures and turn them into objects of relentless horror, setting an angry murder of them loose on a quiet California town. Hitch thrusts his stranded characters into the thick of mother nature’s wrath without pausing to explain the reason behind this bird-led insurrection. Besides, we all know why. (It’s because people are terrible).

Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde, Owen Wilson

Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Owen Wilson play a group of National Geographic filmmakers out to discover a long-lost Indian tribe on the Amazon River, but their journey downriver quickly becomes a boat ride to Hell when they save a stranded snake hunter (Jon Voight, looking like a piece of poached alligator meat), who hijacks their boat and forces them to help him hunt down a legendary anaconda. Bogged down by bad weather and a busted boat, the team must find a way to wrest control of their ship away from the crazed hunter and avoid becoming snake food.
