Men in Black is basically the Ghostbusters of the '90s. Both movies are hit adventure comedies adored by their fans and moviegoers in general. Both spawned an animated TV series, a series of toys, a sequel that we wish we could forget, and a third film that's good enough to help us forget said sequel.

Wow, now that we think about it, these two franchises are really similar.

Like Ghostbusters, Men in Black has maintained a fandom into the present day, if not as rabid a following as, say, Star Trek and Harry Potter. No one's having an MiB-themed wedding (we assume?), and that's probably for the best. Because if you're going to have an alien-themed wedding, you should really go Klingon. You do not know what love is until you've heard Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons played on a spughew.

But Men in Black still enjoys all the staples of a beloved science fiction franchise. It's the proud winner of several Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Music. Cosplayers don the suit and sunglasses at cons, collectors snatch up mint-in-the-box action figures, and fans over-analyze the film's nuances for all manner of Internet trolling. And let's not forget the cash-grab, cobbled-together video game tie-ins.

On second thought, let's do forget those.

The film has also enjoyed the hallmark of any fan favorite, the pop culture shout-out. The film has been referenced across the spectrum of pop culture: from TV shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy, films like Muppets in Space and Monsters Inc., and even video games like Banjo-Kazooie.

So yeah, Men in Black's fandom is safe and sound. Now on to our next fandom topic: Whatever happened to Banjo-Kazooie?

We seriously miss that guy.
