'Jurassic Park' was certainly a dinosaur-sized hit when it came out in 1993. The Steven Spielberg-directed thriller became the highest grossing film up to that time, going on to haul in close to $1 billion worldwide and setting the stage for a few sequels, with the fourth installment due to come out next June.

In his review of 'The Sandlot,' Roger Ebert called the 1993 comedy "the summertime version of 'A Christmas Story.'  The venerable critic was certainly onto something there, as both movies take nostalgic looks back at more innocent times and each rely heavily on the talents of its child actor cast.

We've kept track of all of the 'Home Alone' actors who played the McCallister youngsters, and you can learn about what they are up to below.

'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' was the first John Hughes-directed film to focus on adults, rather than teenagers. In the 1987 comedy, Steve Martin and John Candy play business travelers with the very adult problem of trying to get home during the crush of Thanksgiving travel. The mismatched pair get into a variety of misadventures during their three day trip from New York to Chicago. When they

When one thinks of ‘Say Anything...,’ John Cusak, holding a boom box above his head and serenading Ione Skye with the Peter Gabriel song ’In Your Eyes' likely comes to mind.

If you wear more than a women's size 10 you're going to have some trouble shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch. That's because the retailer limits all of its female apparel to ten and under. And the reason for this restriction is causing controversy.

We're thinking Toni Larroux of Bay Saint Louis, MS., who died last week at 68, had a pretty quirky sense of humor. Her two surviving children certainly do.

Robert Watling and Kelli Johnston are a speedy pair. In fact, Watling proposed to Johnston last October after they completed the Chicago Marathon, which was one of the many 26.2 mile races the couple had completed together. Given their shared history of racing together -- their first date was a 5K race -- getting married after the Boston Marathon seemed like the natural thing to do.

Of all the movies on late writer/director John Hughes' impressive resume, his 1986 comedy hit 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' has the most staying power.

There is just something about fast food that makes people abuse 911. In the past, folks have been arrested after calling emergency services to report problems with their orders at Burger King, McDonald's, Subway and Hardee's.

If there is one thing the internet has taught us it's that people really love bacon. A coffee house in Cheltenham, England is betting that there are folks out there who love the cured meat so much that they would be willing to shell out 150 pounds ($237) for what they are calling the Bacon Bling sandwich.
