It's a movie so good, even the people at Screen Junkies had a hard time finding things to make fun of about it. They had to dig deep, but managed to come up with Han Solo's excellent use of finger pointing, Luke Skywalker's transition from whiny to just dumb, and the creepy Princess Leia-Han-Luke love triangle. And while The Empire Strikes Back might be the sequel that started Hollywood on the path to endless sequels, it's one of the best sequels in film.

Ice Call

The Mer de Glace is a glacier valley in the French Alps, known as the largest and longest glacier in France. Located in the northern slopes of the Mont Blanc massif, the deep ridges and ice caves are a skiers playground. In this clip from his film Backyards Project, ski pro Sam Favret proves this point as he shreds the frozen terrain.

Bombas Socks

Since their launch over ten years ago, Bombas has been dedicated to making high-quality clothing — first just socks, now tees, underwear, and more — while providing the same essentials to people in need. This holiday season, they're offering up to 15% off select packs while donating an essential clothing item to those in need for each item purchased. From Performance ankle and no-show socks to slippers and boxer briefs, their men's line has you covered, and there are options for ladies and kids. Their gift boxes remove the need to wrap — socks don't play well with wrapping paper, after all — and new customers can save an additional 25% off all socks, with free shipping for orders $125 and up.

The KilgourMD Bundle

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.

Most Beautiful Shots in Movie History

Anything after the Falling Roses scene in the 1999 film American Beauty is simply filler to pad out the rest of your "best of" list. It is the most beautiful scene in movie history: simultaneously gorgeous, uncomfortable, and only a dream. The look inside the mind of main character Lester Burnham is a look inside all of our minds, where nothing is forbidden and we have the ability to take whatever we want.
