You'll be Glad you Came

Some movies are truly timeless regardless of their setting. Ghostbusters is just as clever and funny today as it was in 1984; From Russia with Love is still considered by many to be the best Bond movie ever despite being set so firmly in the Cold War; the second Terminator movie is still great even though we have now passed all of the deadlines set within the movie.
Other movies...not so much. Although Porky's remains the highest-grossing Canadian film of all time (accounting for inflation), the gross-out humor, crude jokes, and general vulgarity are such a product of the era that I can't imagine trying to watch it for the first time today.
Still, being alive in the ye olde pre-internet days, I can remember these dumb movies being a part of growing up. As such, I present my tribute to the original teen gross-out/sex comedy.
