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.
