TOP 10 High School Movies

Recently, Entertainment Weekly counted down the top 50 high school movies of all time. Before looking at the list I quickly jotted down my top 10 and a few honorable mentions. I was surprised to find that only one of my top 10 was not on the list. I thought for sure a few of mine wouldn't be considered "high school" movies. Without further ado...THE TOP 10 HIGH SCHOOL MOVIES of all time.

1. Clueless: Alicia Silverstone where are you?

2. Risky Business: Not quite the mega-star yet, Tom Cruise showed off his acting skills as a would-be pimp.

3. Grease: One of 2 guilty pleasures on the list. Who hasn't stopped flipping through the channels when this is on television?

4. Back To the Future: Hollywood simply doesn't make films like this anymore. Who doesn't like this film?

5. Scream: Best horror film of the 90's?

6. Breakfast Club: This was Entertainment Weekly's #1. When I was younger I thought it was great, but then I grew up. Its good, but as relevant as in the mid-80s.

7. Ferris Bueller's Day Off: I didn't like this film when it was first released. It has grown on me over the years.

8. Bring It On: The 2nd guilty pleasure on the list. I never thought a cheereleading movie could be funny. Who knew a cheereleading movie could be entertaining?

9. Weird Science: Haven't seen it in over 10 years. All I remember is watching it with my neighborhood friends over and over again...countless times. Bill Paxton is hilarious as the evil older brother "Chet".

10. 3 O'clock High: The only movie on my list that wasn't on EW's list. Haven't seen it in over 15 years. I remember it being funny and an accurate portrayal of a high schooler scared shitless about getting beat up by the school bully.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
Heathers: I read they are making a sequel...bad idea.
Election: Politics are even more dirtier in high school than in Washington
Say Anything: Great soundtrack...good movie.
Meangirls: Over time this may crack the top 10.
Friday Night Lights: Best football movie ever made.
