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.
No wait! This must be your Drop Everything list.
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 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.
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.
Flying High, for my high school movie. My brothers and I watched that a ridiculous number of times.
I think Iron Man I was much better than II, but II was still fun--much better than XMen III or Wolverine Origins or Daredevil or Electra. And at least one of their Hulks, if not two. And Spidey III for sure.

unless I'm reminded of some stuff
We're probably going to watch Iron Man II anyway, since we have it here. I'm not sure why I'm not jazzed. I liked the first one a lot.
Even though I LOVE romance and romantic comedies, my favorite is still Breakfast Club. I saw it in 7th grade, and have never before or sense so identified with a male character (Brian).
It is also the movie I stop on every time t has ever been on TV, even with the REALLY BAD dubbed things over the "swearing".
The one thing I hate about it is Andie's outfit-- I think it is hideous. I thought it was hideous when I first saw it, and I continue to do so.
No Blade on your list, ita?

Wha?! X-Men 2 is way better than the first one. And Spider-Man 2 is the best Marvel movie, better than Iron Man.
