This was a major breakthrough movie. Bill and Ted's started the 90's trend of heavy-metal listening duo's who are innocent and stupid, but WW did it with much more wit (or whatever)
Looking back, and remembering when I first saw it in the pictures, me and my best friend were kind of like Wayne and Garth, and could identify with them. Needless to say, in the following weeks and months, much of our conversation involved the words "Excellent", an untrue statement, followed by the word "not", and such.
It's because of Waynes World that I, along with the majority of the earth's population Moshe's when the guitar bit at the end of "Bohemian Rhapsody" comes on. There is so much fresh stuff in this movie, that still seems fresh today. The simple concept of saying "way" instead of "yes way" is something so simple and obvious, but so eluding, that its funny because its interesting. The notion of the girl buying Wayne a "gunrack" leaves the audience almost as perplexed as Wayne. And the icing on the cake for me has to be the scene where Garth is left on his own to present the show and all he can say is "Im having a good time...not". The hilarity of that one moment is simply off the scale.
Bottom line: Wayne's world was and still is way ahead of its time and remains timeless and for a lot of people in my generation it has a special place in their heart.
