10 Things I Hate About You
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

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?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I finished Iron Man II and wondered wtf I just watched. It wasn't fun like the first, and I couldn't track on a single narrative. I could not tell you what the story was. I didn't connect to anyone.

Hey. New board.
I liked Star Trek, but I don't really like Star Trek. It felt more like Star Wars, which I like more. So.
Iron Man II was fine, but not nearly as good as the first, according to both me and general consensus.
My favorite high school movie is undoubtedly Clueless though it has competition from Can't Hardly Wait and Bring It On and Breakfast Club. I don't know if I count Say Anything, which feels less focused on high school itself.
