Digg it!
Killer parties, bad cafeteria food, bullies, and hot girls you could only dream of going out on a date with. What do all of these things have in common? High School! Those 4 crazy years that defined our future. Who wouldn´t love to go back and do it all over again or maybe change a thing or two. Heres a list of some of the wildest movies that take us back to those days every time we see them. Oh, the memories.
10. Three O’clock High
9. Teen Wolf
8. Lucas
7. Footloose
6. Weird Science
5. Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure
4. 16 Candles
3. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
2. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
1. The Breakfast Club
Honorable Mention: Porky´s , Valley Girl, Summer School
what about back to the future??
dazed and confused is not an 80s movie…it was a 90s movie about the 70s
um, what about pretty in pink?
WHERE THE HELL IS PORKYS?
Dazed and Confused didn’t come out of the 80’s neither did Clueless!
Read carefully
top 10 80’s!!!! Durrr!
What? No Heathers? I love that movie
Karate Kid and Better Off Dead are the 2 big omissions in my book….
Whats up, where is Less than Zero?
stop hi jacking peoples post about dazed and confused and when it was released morons. Some of us are just too old to remember when a great movie was released.
and if you want to get technical on high school movies wtf does footloose have to do with it ? what there was maybe 20 seconds of a school hall in the movie ???
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off = oh yeah 2 mins total of office scene
16 candles = was there even a school scene in that one must of been shorter then the top 2 mentioned.
pretty in pink = which wasn’t mentioned (1986) had longer school scenes then any of these 3 put together.
the list is flawed i could go on but whats the use half of you morons here don’t even get it
oh and before i leave … one of the best “SCHOOL ” movies ever what about BACK TO SCHOOL !!!! with rodney dangerfield. (1986)
ok list is good but missing some good ones here is mine:
1. breakfast club
2. sixteen candles
3. weird science
4. vision quest
5. karate kid
6. some kind of wonderful
7. valley girl
8. last american virgin
9. class
10.pretty in pink
honorable mention: say anything,footloose,all the right moves,risky business,fast times
Evidently 1989 is not part of the 80’s.
wheres dazed and confused?
Better off Dead, and I think Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful where good ones too. Definately not Teen Wolf, bad bad movie.
your all idiots Debbie does Dallas!
There are no good 80’s high school movies. As someone who came of age in the 80’s I can tell you first hand that there is NO film that captures the era. John Hughes should be burned in effigy every time this subject is brought up for ruining the 80’s with his celluliod pablum. Were were robbed. Where’s our Rebel Without a Cause? Where’s our American Grafitti? Where’s our Dazed and Confused? Where’s our Napoleon Dynamite? We got a big pile of steaming nothing!
The list was good but I would have replaced teen wolf with Karate kid.
Thanks “romeo” because your commentary was so very original. My commentary about “Dazed and Confused” was the first posted, but this fruity little program must not care about sequence. My point, which you obviously missed, and was pounded into the ground by like ten other people was that it had nothing to do with the Eighties. Yes, it is a clever movie. I like it a whole bunch, but it doesn’t fit the category. But please feel free to rip on my post, I’m sure your life will be empty without it.
What do you mean there is no movie that defines the 80s? Breakfest Club you moron, if your a product of the 80s and can’t identify with that film then you must have been home schooled.
Geoff,
Breakfest Club reflected only the idealized 80’s, not the real 80’s. You obvioulsy didn’t see the termites behind all that pretty wallpaper. You must have thought Ronny was an effective president.
“Lean on me”!!! where is it? im upset
What about The Godfather 1 & 2? How could you forget them? Oh, and I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but Dazed and Confused came out in the 90s.
sorry folks! didnt see the part about them being 80s “High School” movies
I enjoy the postings here very much. I saved your blog in my Favorites.
