Clerks - (Smith;1994;USA) - ****
Two convenience store clerks go through problems throughout one day they aren't even supposed to be working on.
This and Animal House are the two highest rated comedies for me. Clerks never gets old. Its raunchy yet hilarious dialogue plays out perfectly and pretty much everything about this film is top notch. The only real problem with it is it's acting, considering it was just his friends in roles although their parts didn't demand a lot, improvement could've helped a lot. It's structure is great.
