"You got a banana -- you don't need no snack pack."

That's not the only lesson I learned from Billy Madison, my favorite movie of all time. A good bulk of my everyday conversation includes quotes from this flick. Just name any scene, moment or phrase from the movie, and I can easily re-enact it for you. Of course it won't have the same comic brilliance of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley and the other actors that are usually a part of Sandler's movies.

The film, which was made in 1995, features Sandler at the height of his popularity and makes it clear why the former Saturday Night Live star can continue to make box-office hits.

Billy and his friends are ridiculous, and the plot is utterly ridiculous, too. Billy's father, Brian, owns a string of hotel chains, is retiring and hopes to hand the company over to his 27-year-old slacker son. Billy's only job, however, includes chasing an invisible penguin and retrieving the mail on "nude-y magazine day."

But Billy is determined to take over the company, even when he finds out his father has been paying his teachers to give him decent grades since elementary school. Therefore, it's time for Billy to go back to school to repeat first through 12th grade and prove himself worthy of taking over Madison hotels.

Of course, he has competition from his father's sneaky co-worker, Eric, who will take over if Billy fails. Eric has menacing plans to destroy Billy's dreams, but Billy manages to make his way to the top. He then decides to hand the company over to Carl, a long-time employee of the company who has helped him out along the way.

A rockin' soundtrack, which includes Styx and Culture Club, adds even more fun to the whole experience. Music is a key aspect in this movie. Who can forget Billy's "back to school" song and his musical interlude about victory?

From Billy's drunken visions of a penguin to a first-grade teacher covering her face in glue, this movie is the most random collection of humor I have ever seen, and that's what I love about it. I love that there are so many different characters throughout the film, each with his or her own quirks and memorable lines.

Of all the crazy characters, the janitor, also known as "Sideburns," is my ultimate favorite. If it weren't for him, we never would have known the color of Miss Lippy's car or that Billy likes to drink soda -- clearly two key elements in understanding this film.

Billy actually taught me a useful lesson. Before seeing this movie, I was a sad soul who did not know what the purpose of conditioner was. I knew that people put it on their hair, but I never knew why and never asked. Luckily, a peek into Billy's bath-time regimen saved me from being a social outcast. The movie also teaches us that peeing your pants is cool and that eating glue is A-OK, two crucial survival skills.

Billy Madison is a story about love. It teaches us that love is possible, even for a sloppy-joe-serving lunch lady and a bus driver who steals bagged lunches.

It also teaches us that cocky bullies never come out on top, but are more likely to drive their cars off a cliff. More importantly, Billy's story gives hope to people who think October is a day of the week.

There is no movie I've seen more times than Billy Madison, and I enjoy it every time. It has everything that makes a great movie, including memorable characters and tons of unforgettable quotes. If you are one of the few lost souls on this planet who hasn't seen Billy Madison, please do yourself a favor and go rent it now.

I don't know where I would be today without the knowledge I've gained from this movie. There is a special place in my heart for Billy Madison that will remain there forever.
