Most of my favorites have already been named, but there's also: Back to the Future, Bring It On, Risky Business, and Freaky Friday (the original).
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So many awesome high school movies! A lot of the ones I'd suggest have already been named, but here are a few I didn't see:
- Pretty in Pink
- Grease
- Mean Girls

Beetlejuice, The Lost Boys, Labyrinth, Auntie Mame. And maybe Moulin Rouge.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Auntie Mame.
Your favorite high school movie?
No wait! This must be your Drop Everything list.
I'm trying to imagine a high school version of Auntie Mame, though. I'm coming up with Ferris Bueller with a female lead.

Because books.
Movies I always have to watch:
Coal Miner's Daughter, although that one's never on anymore. Also Jurassic Park.
High school movies:
My favorites are probably Heathers, Ferris Bueller, and The Breakfast Club. Good lord, I forgot Fast Times.

My Drop Everything Movies: The Freshman, Big Trouble in Little China.
I own both of these, but I don't get really excited about them unless they sneak up on me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I really like the Star Trek movie, I have to say. Saw it twice.

Yes, the Drop Everything list. My favorite high school movie? Hmmm. The Lost Boys came out the summer I graduated, so I suppose that doesn't count. (It hit the dollar theatre near my house about a month after release, which is why I saw it over 30 times in the theatre.)
Maybe Ghostbusters.

Jilli, he meant movies *about* high school.
I liked the Star Trek reboot a lot, but I'm not a Trek person at all, so I don't really know from actual Trek. I may have mostly liked it because there were so many pretty people to look at, though.
Iron Man II was good, right? Was it nearly as good as the first one?
