Top 50 High School Movies

[y2dave]

Napoleon Dynamite should be number 1, gosh.

 

[Buzzer]

Load of effing rubbish.

Where's Weird Science?

eh?

eh?

well?

Greatest film of the 80s that was.

EDIT - and what about the Class of Nuke 'em High? Where's that?

Or the film version of Mind your language, probably.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Where's Weird Science?

Good call

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

why are people calling for american pie? average at best, 22nd is about right



ferris beuler is fantastic, however, and should be number 1...don't like the breakfast club that much

 

[Muzzman]

Good call on both Pump Up the Volume and Weird Science.. both should be in there.. as well as Hoosiers AKA Best Shot

Anything with Tracie Lords in it

 

[Beach Hut]

Breakfast Club is one of the best films ever - FACT

 

[Billy the Fish]

10 things I hate about you

Also not bad. Top 30 I rekon.
The breakfast club is good but it's not really in the same league as Ferris Bueller's day off

 

[Gully]

I thought that 10 things I hate about you was pretty good.

Road Trip is a College movie, as is Porkies, Revenge of the Nerds, etc, etc

 

[ditchy]

National Lampoons Animal House .. a must ...

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Naughty Korean High School Girls - Part 4.

A classic.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Naughty Korean High School Girls - Part 4.

A classic.

bit of a let down for me, the success of parts 1,2 & 3, which were a real breakthrough in cinematic art, suggested that part 4 was going to be something very, very special

bit of a let down

5/10

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off for me.

But I did like the Karate Kid

Wax on...wax off...

PS I'm not convinced Hogwarts qualifies as a High School for the purposes of this survey.

 

[JJ McClure]

Van Wilder

 

[Munchkin]

Weird Science ??

'Sorry for being such a shit to you for all these years, I'd just like to say I love you'
