>you will never experience an American high school

I wonder if I would be part of the nerds

...

It's nothing like the movies

Freaks & Geeks

Elephant.

It's pure Kino in its most esoteric form.

Not another teen movie

>Heathers
>Breakfast Club
>Dawson's Creek/Buffy(Not a movie, but still)
>Varsity Blues
>Can't Hardly Wait
>Say Anything
>Can't Buy Me Love
>Pump Up The Volume
>Better Off Dead
>The Faculty
>Disturbing Behavior

Elephant

Pump Up the Volume

Say Anything has almost nothing to do with high school. They graduate in the beginning and the rest of the movie is about the summer after graduation.

Fast Times at Ridgemont Hight

It still feels very high school to me.

Anyways, the rest of the list is more applicable I suppose. I love the all regardless.

Dangerous Minds
The Substitute
The Principal
Lean on Me
Freedom Writers

Dazed and Confused

Juno

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

>The Substitute, The Principal, Lean On Me

Great fuckin' choices.

omg forgot about The principal.

>ctrl-f
>no Napoleon Dynamite

this. one of the more realistic depictions

Yeah, I'm old.

Same here, brother. Well, in comparison to most here I'd assume.


It's great. My favorite Belushi film along with Red Heat.

My Bodyguard (1980)

Weird high school movie about bullies. Animal Mother from FMJ is in it and Matt Dillon is the bully bad guy. Lesser known but good movie.

I fucking love this movie, it's so good

Forgot my best friend is a vampire

DUDE I HAVEN'T MATURED PAST HIGH SCHOOL LMAO

The DUFF

Great movie

Is it lesser known? I thought it had a pretty big following.

Eitther way, great pick. Adam Baldwin is great in it.

Yep, you're right.

That's a solid one as well.

Ask 100 people on the street and I bet 95 or more of them don't know about this movie. It may be known somewhat by film and movie nerds, but to the general public, it is a forgotten movie.

Project X

Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess I never really thought about it much since I grew up with it.

That fucking film depresses me, maaaan.

Of course there are the obligatory '80s films:

Pretty in Pink
16 Candles
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

...

Donnie Darko

Three O'Clock High
