Favorite "high School" Movies

I hope you all have been enjoying this series as much as I have.  As you can tell by my previous posts (here, here, and here), I am a HUGE movie buff.

While I know "high school movies" is not really a genre, there are so many movies that I really enjoy that are set in high school.. or set during the high school years.  They're super cute and they make me laugh (or perhaps smile). 



1. School Ties



2. She's All That



3. Clueless



4. To All the Boys I've Loved (series)



5. 10 Things I hate About You



6. The Breakfast Club



7. Ferris Bueller's Day off



8. The princess Diaries



9. Sixteen Candles


10. Say Anything


11. Can't Buy Me Love



12. Twilight



13. Some Kind of Wonderful


14. Pretty in Pink



15. Footloose



16. Save the Last Dance



17. Pump up the Volume



18. License to Drive



19. Weird Science 


20. Encino Man


Did your favorites make the list?  Have I forgotten any?

    1. I can't believe I didn't think of Grease! I guess because Olivia Newton John and the whole cast always seemed older to me than high school students. Plus I am going to have write a whole separate post with musicals!

    1. I think of them that way; I try to get my boys to watch them too as I insist everyone should see these at some point in their life.

  15. Oh, there are some favorites here (and others I've never seen). I definitely loved Clueless and Weird Science. I only liked Twilight because my co-workers and I went to see it and had a blast!

    1. Oh yes, that would be fun. I'm always up for a good movie night.

  18. I love so many of these too! Can't Buy Me Love is such a forgotten gem. I remember when I found out Patrick Dempsey was "McDreamy," and I was like, huh? Ronnie Miller?? Such an excellent career progression, haha. I also looooved Some Kind of Wonderful! For at least a year, that was my pick any time we'd rent a movie at my mom's house!

    1. I vaguely remember Fast Times but have never heard of Teachers-- I'll have to check that one out!

  20. 10 Things is my ultimate fav. I used to keep it on my dvr and watch it whenever I felt blue.

    1. I enjoy the whole fake dating trope in books and movies; they always fall for each other after that.
