'The Full Monty' turns 20 this year

Recently, someone told me that when you start trying to remember any kind of anniversary of a favourite movie, the standard rule is you come up with a number as to how long ago you think it premiered and then add five years to the total and, generally, you will be correct at that point. Such is the case with a favourite of mine, The Full Monty, which turns 20! in August of this year.
