Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on March 25, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Ben Mankiewicz! From your insightful film critiques on "At the Movies" to those unforgettable debates and witty banter with The Young Turks crew, you've always kept us entertained—and occasionally enlightened. Your sharp commentary has made even questionable movie choices seem worth watching (well...almost).

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as that time you passionately defended an underrated classic or hilariously dismantled a cinematic flop—moments we still replay for laughs. May your birthday be filled with popcorn-worthy moments and fewer plot twists than some of Hollywood's recent blockbusters.

Cheers to another timeless performance from our favorite critic!
