This month marks the eighteenth anniversary of one of the greatest cult classics of all time–Spice World. Released officially in the UK on 26 December 1997 and then 25 January 1998 in the US, Spice World followed the story of hit pop girl group the Spice Girls as they travel to their performance in Albert Hall. As the Girls travel to their destination, a film crew trying to capture their attention, a movie studio looking to produce a movie about them (oh, the irony!), pregnancies, and tabloids stand Okay, so the plot is hard to explain but I swear this is not a drama. We can only wait for The Unauthorized Spice Girls Story to premiere on Lifetime in a few years for that to happen.
Although the film was a critical flop, it has become a cult classic and it is easy to see why with how much slayage the Girls are serving. Here are the 40 times the Spice Girls slayed your life in Spice World :
