What "high school" movie was big while you were in high school?

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Classic cult movie: Pulp Fiction

I SAW IT WHEN IT WAS IN THE INDIE THEATRE IN PORTLAND BRAH. HIPSTER BEFORE IT WAS COOL.

I did have a huge crush on Alicia Silverstone...then Junior Year she went to my college and was behind me in line, but she got all fat (i think this was when she was batgirl) and was wearing sweat pants and look unshowered and that kind of killed the dream yo.

 

[MARIS61]

The Last Picture Show and American Graffiti.

Should have went for it anyway, if nothing else, just for the story and to say you did it.

I was kind of intimidated anyways. hah.

That's understandable.

the thing that really sucked is if I took the morning photography class instead of the afternoon one I would have been in the same class as her. :MARIS61:

She was really hot, but yeah.... she got fat and then her career tanked. I still would have done a fat Alicia Silverstone though.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Rocky Horror

My parents didn't let me watch movies or TV in high school, all I did was study. I was pissed at them at the time, but looking back on it, I understand, because I was able to get into Arizona State.

Wait a minute... You had to study all the time to get into Arizona State???

FIFY.

Good movie--my first exposure to Dylan Thomas.

Hahahaa Naw, not I. There were always plenty of people dressed up like the cast, throwing rice, dancing the "Time Warp" in front of the screen..etc..

See PapaG's sig...wow you're dense. How could anyone possibly take my post seriously? Wow...lemme guess; Oregon St. alum

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The Freshman

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Phoebe Cates Boobs FTW!

She just turned 50, did you know that?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Best scene in the whole movie, and honestly outside of "assistant to the assistant manager" the only thing i really remember about it.

Other than the loving brother helping his sister get an abortion? Scenes that would be harder to get past studio executives in these Tea Party times.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This will probably make me sound like an old man, but does anyone feel sorry for current students due to the lack of these kind of movies lately? All i can think of off of the top of my head is shit like Project X and 21 and Over. I'm sure i'm forgetting some big movies.

Does Superbad count? Because the kids seem to love that one.

Here's a less happy one from back in the late 80s: River's Edge. Keanu Reeve's first or second movie, as I recall. Dennis Hopper being Dennis Hopper.
