10. This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
There are few picture show more quotable than thisbeloved 1984 rock mockumentary(although the few that are will probably discover their manner onto this list).This Is Spinal Tap , a fake infotainment that was written , directed , and stars Rob Reiner as infotainment filmmaker Marty Di Bergi , chronicles the exploit of voiceless rock / heavy metal band Spinal Tap on their American hitch to boost their young album , sense the Glove . Wonderfully intelligent in its satirical intervention of both rock’n’roll ace and the rockumentary moving picture data format , This Is Spinal Tapis home to innumerable oft - quoted lines ( “ … these go to eleven . ” ) ( “ You ca n’t dust for disgorgement . ” ) and hits very close to home for many noted musician ; artists , as wide-ranging as Jimmy Page , Dave Grohl , Eddie Vedder , and Ozzy Osbourne , have made a tone of how uproariously exact the film ’s representation of a musical hitch can be . Gut - wrenching gleefulness mix with a classic soundtrack to produce one of the all - fourth dimension great Friday Night Films .

9. The Wedding Singer (1998)
Before Adam Sandler started using hismovie productions as give vacations(We’re not joking about that , either … he saidthose words ) , there seemed to be a point in his career where he cared about making funny movie . Perhaps the most screaming of these films is 1998’sThe Wedding Singer , also starring Drew Barrymore . Sandler fiddle Robbie Hart , a wedding singer who falls in love with Barrymore ’s Julia Sullivan , a waitress at the reception G. Stanley Hall where he on a regular basis performs . A genuinely funny picture show with more substance than you ’d bear , The Wedding Singerrelishes its eighties fashion ( admit a cameo by ill-famed rocking chair Billy Idol ) and is a good movie for it . Complete with a synthesiser - laden soundtrack include a few uproarious tunes by Sandler himself , The marriage Singeris the kind of Friday Night Film you happen on cable and do n’t have the heart to turn off .

8. Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
No list of Friday Night Films would be complete without the requisite Kung Fu film ; rather than traffic in the well - travel ( with good intellect ) territory ofBruce Lee , we ’ve rather prefer to highlight this much - hump cult classic of the mid-1980s , John Carpenter’sBig Trouble in Little China . star Kurt Russell , Kim Cattrall , and James Hong , this gem accompany Jack Burton ( Russell ) as he attempts to battle the forces of evil which reside in the Chinatown resistance . An ’ 80s natural action flick steeped in cheesy visual effects and even cheesier dialogue , Big Trouble in Little Chinamaintains a rabid fan base for its gleefulness and rewatchability along with Russell ’s easy charms . Complete with Carpenter ’s touch costumes and practical visual effects , this motion-picture show is a great one to look on with the guy if you ’re looking for some laughs and some kung fu to entertain you on the eve of your weekend .

7. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Perhaps the most critically acclaimed of the flick on this list , Edgar Wright’sShaun of the Dead , qualifies due to its consuming good luck charm and unlimited rewatchability . Seriously , we can not emphasize how much better this film gets with iterate viewings . pen by Wright and headliner Simon Pegg and featuring Nick Frost , Kate Ashfield , and Bill Nighy , Shaun of the Deadfollows Pegg ’s Shaun as he attempts to win back his lady friend Liz ( Ashfield ) during the starter stages of a zombie spirit apocalypse . The first “ zomromcom ” ( zombie romantic comedy),Shaun of the Deadmanages to hover between startling originality and repeated homages to the great zombi film of erstwhile , specifically those of George Romero , making it a treat for newcomers and fans of the revulsion genre . The first feature film collaboration between Wright , Pegg , and Frost ( the others are just as enjoyable as this movie),Shaun of the Deadis a film destined to wind up as both a furore classic and a go - to pic for those folks dire for a little Al Gore with their laughs as they hoist down after a longsighted week .

6. Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
Just as no lean of Friday Night Films would be consummate without a kung fu film , it also would n’t be over without a heist motion-picture show ; as such , we ’ve chosen one of the most gratifying heist films in recent remembering , Ocean ’s Eleven , to fill that office . Directed by Steven Soderbergh and featuring an all - sensation casting including the the like of George Clooney , Brad Pitt , Matt Damon , Don Cheadle , Casey Affleck and Julia Roberts ( among others),Ocean ’s Elevenis a remaking of a Rat Pack master that sees Danny Ocean ( Clooney ) undertake to rob a cassino extend by his ex - girlfriend ’s new lover ( Andy Garcia ) . This simple logline sell inadequate the cinema ’s clever script , organic negotiation , and licitly entertaining foray into the realm of Las Vegas cassino life , and Soderbergh succeeds in craft a film that permit his splendid cast hold the heavy loading of amusement while breeze by most enjoyably . So dear it would spawn two sequels ( neither of which lived up to the expectations set by the original),Ocean ’s Elevenis the perfect Friday night flick for those with sticky fingerbreadth and a desire to steal from the rich to give to the impoverished ( the needy being , you bed … the thieves ) .

5. Snatch (2000)
Speaking of loveable ensemble films that center around a heist , we ’ve got another one to spice up your Friday evenings . 2000’sSnatch , directed by Guy Ritchie and starring innumerable actors you ’d accredit , admit , but not trammel to , Brad Pitt , Jason Statham , Vinnie Jones , Dennis Farina , and Benicio Del Toro , pursue a individual massive diamond as it works its way through the criminal underworld of England . Featuring a standout functioning by Pitt , who is almost incomprehensible as Mickey , the stark - metacarpophalangeal joint boxing champion , Snatchis a sassy and hilarious film that should have you and anyone watching with you howl by its last . While comparisons to Ritchie ’s first filmLock , Stock , and Two smoke Barrels(1998 ) are unavoidable , Snatchstands on its merit as a more urbane picture show that ’s more accessible ( and easy to sympathize , Pitt away ) than its criminal vis-a-vis .

4. Galaxy Quest (1999)
Ahhh , and now we approach perhaps the most reprehensively underrated film on this list , 1999’sGalaxy Quest . standardised in some direction toThis Is Spinal Tap , this satiric send - up of the science fiction musical genre accept keen joy in playing with clichés and consultation outlook to hilarious effect . guide by Dean Parisot and starring Tim Allen , Sigourney Weaver , Alan Rickman , and Tony Shaloub , Galaxy Questfollows the cast of a fictional science fiction show ( a laStar Trek ) after they are apprehended by aliens to interfere in actual extraterrestrial affairs . A evilly smart satire that effectively pokes fun at shows likeStar Trekwhile paying court to their influence and intelligence agency , Galaxy Questremains a great watch ( or re - take in ) due to its likable mould and soaked script .
