Im 36. In two weeks, 37.
I grew up with some high school movies like "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Cant Hardly Wait" etc. Late 90s awesome kids movies.

But, I got to say, as Im sitting here watching Fast Times At Ridgemont High, THIS is the best high school movie ever made.


Also - high school movies made me have much higher hopes for prom...

I can't think of a better one! There may be an equal someone remembers but that is top of the list.

I watched this one a week or two ago...... First time I'd seen it in yrs. I was 6 when it came out.

Heathers was a good high school movie

But my favorite high school movie of all time is Pump up the Volume. If you haven’t seen it give it a shot.

You must really like Christian Slater.

Ive seen both, actually had to watch PUTV for a class in college, I like them.
I also really dig his skateboarding movie, Gleaming the Cube.

lol. I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that he was in both. Just two good movies. PUTV pretty much summed up how I felt as a teenager pretty succinctly. Growing up in a world where everywhere had already been explored and there was really nothing left to discover.

I imagine that feeling is worse with later generations where not only is that still true you don’t even have to work for the knowledge. It’s a few keystrokes away.

Speaking of PUTV and this line here that Ive quoted - that's how I feel about music today.
Look, it's nice being able to go online and order ALMOST anything I want and have it here before Independence Day, if I wanted.
BUT, and this is a big one, I do miss HUNTING for music. CDs and records, back in the late 90s/very early 00s you really had to hunt for music like I listen to (punk, hardcore, metal) and it made it so much more rewarding.
 
Most on this site are young to have seen American Graffiti nor know the pleasure of living it.
