EW's High School Movies List

Entertainment Weekly's September 15th issue features an article on the 50 best high school movies. Now, I don't want to claim ownership on the idea, but I did previously post a teen angst DVD list in August (I totally had an I-told-you-so moment, sadly to no one in particular). On my list, I posted 15 high school movies, 10 of which appear on the EW spread, including all films in the Old School/Classics category. I came up with my list on the spot, whereas the EW writers and staff probably took a tad more time than I and had more resources, so naturally there are some mentionable films that I missed. Included are Rushmore, Risky Business, Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite, and The Virgin Suicides. Plus, I think EW's list is, and rightly should be, reader-friendly, and therefore lacks certain darker, less well-known movies such as Welcome to the Dollhouse. But overall, it's nice to know the "experts" agree with me.

You know... this only shows that the entertainment business is your calling... maybe you should wedge a foot in the door somewhere. Wouldn't it be great to watch movies and listen to music for a living??? Do it!!!

p.s. - maybe the comments are skimpy because you don't allow anonymous ones~
