What Is the Best 80's Highschool Movie?? - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 09-21-2009, 05:45 PM

This should be a fun category!! I love most of these films and can watch them over and over for the most part! When i say 80's highschool movies, I mean ones that are about highschool and either mostly takes place there or atleast plots around highschool!! Also tried to list the cliche 80's type highschool movies as well! If I did forget one that fell into this category and type and its your choice, please reply with the movie name. But also give your opinion of your fav 80's highschool movie and worst as well. My list would go:

Best: Back To The Future

favorite: Cant Buy Me Love

Worst: Zapped!

Got Em!!

The Breakfast Club IMO

I dont know if you can count it but there are certainly high school kids, but Goonies is friggin awesome. Back to the future is awesome. Even the second one is great: "YOU GOT TO HAVE POWER TO GO OVER WATER MCFLY"

Fast Times

And look at the actors that came out of that movie.

There's no way I could pick just one.

CaptainYoda · 09-21-2009, 05:53 PM

I went with Ferris Bueller.

Grease was actually from the 70s however.

VinnAY · 09-21-2009, 05:53 PM

Just one of the guys

I picked Back to the Future but this is too hard. I picked BTTF because it is probably the most succesful of the ones mentioned but I loved most of the films in the poll. Especially Summer School and Ferris Buller's Day Off

Teufel Hunden · 09-21-2009, 05:56 PM

I dont think of BTTF as a high school movie.

Breakfast Club

And set in the 50's no less.

I voted for Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The soundtrack is great and so is Phoebe Cates.

But, I would have voted for My Bodyguard had it been listed.

BTTF is definently a HS movie. The main character is of HS age and much of the movie is centered around him either at his own highschool or his dads HS. It is more of a sub plot but definitely qualifies.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Part of what I loved about the film is how "cool" a high school kid was Marty. Me being in elementary school at the time. I wanted to be the guitar-weilding, sketeboarding, hot girlfriend having kid. lol
