What did everyone else think of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?

My parents would drop me and my brother off at the dollar theater to see it whenever they needed time alone in 1988.  I rather liked it.  Decent soundtrack, lots of time travel, and an epic face-off with mall security.

As an adult, it's still fun to watch, but the climactic Lincoln speech at the end was a bit cheesy.  Did they even make watches in 1988 that you had to wind?

By the way, gamers, don't think this senseless movie licensing is some kind of renaissance of retardation from EA.  There was a Commodore 64 game based on the movie, though the Amiga version has more screenshots. (Links fixed for real.)

The C64 link goes to the wrong game, by the way.

Er, now it's going to "Bobix".

grr... overediting.

I still like it. And for a goofy comedy, its time travel rules struck me as having a decent internal consistency to them, as opposed to "Back to the Future", which just kind of changed things every five minutes to suit story needs. I also like the subtle paradox about Rufus' name.

And it still makes me laugh, as long as I don't see it too often.

I still haven't seen it. Unbelievable yet true.

It was the first

movie I recall going to see expecting to make fun of it and coming out loving it. It just all rang so true.
