As I went through the list from 50 down, I couldn’t believe how low some of the films were ranked (To Sir With Love #27? Grease #21?), but then I got to the top 10. Can’t say I have a problem with any of them.
The list made me come to two conclusions:
“Back to the Future” is way, way, way too low on the list.
I would have flipped the first two, but other than that, it’s pretty close to my list.
I got bored clicking through all the “Continue” links and waiting for the next page to load. Is there just a list somewhere?
Good list, but one MAJOR oversight… IF… starring Malcolm Mcdowell, should easily be top 10.
I’m surpirsed Sixteen Candles was so low on the list.
Only 5 movies per page? What the fuck? That’s annoying.
get to the last 10, and its ONE per page 
Harry Potter as a High School Movie? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
OK, it may take place at a high school (does it?) but it’s definitely not a High School Movie.
I’m reasonably happy with the 50 they chose but the rankings I find a bit odd. Back to the Future is way too low along with Ferris Beuler. Mean Girls was pretty good, but 12? I dunno, I could go on and on. What they should have done is given a top 10 and then 40 honorable mentions or something.
I love Boyz N The Hood and it is one of my favorite movies but I have a hard time classifying it as a high school movie.
I had to go through twice to make sure I didn’t just miss it, but Blackboard Jungle isn’t on the list. Seems like an oversight to me.
Wierd Science?
Varsity Blues?
Mallrats?
I had the same thought; I was hopeful, when it kept not showing up, that this boded well for its high placement on the list. I was, however, glad to see that Rebel Without a Cause made the top 5, although I might have put it in the first couple slots if it were my list.
And where, may I ask, is Buffy?
Have you seen the movie?
While I was pleasantly surprised to find Rock ‘n’ Roll High School on the list at all (#18), it really should be bumped up to #3.
I agree, this is a tremendous gaff not to have this on, but instead the glurgy “To Sir With Love” which is merely okay.
On other matters, I will never understand the outright hatred of the Buffy movie – it was done as a comedy and succeeded beautifully at its purpose.
Won’t load for me.
Anyone wanna clue me in where Dazed & Confused fell?
Breakfast CLub?
Breakfast Club is #1
Dazed and Confused is #3
(Fast Times at Ridgemont High is #2, in case you wondered)
Blackboard Jungle should be in the #1 slot, instead of nonexistant.
Omitting Blackboard Jungle was a major gaffe. I’d also complain that Some Kind of Wonderful didn’t crack the top 50, but perhaps there are enough John Hughes films there already.
Otherwise this is a pretty good list. Out of the top 10, I can’t see a single choice that isn’t worth renting even if you’re not a fan of this genre:
In particular, if you haven’t seen “Heathers”, “Boyz N the Hood”, or “Election”, you’re really missing out.
