Which decade has the best "High School" movies?

[MDoza]

80’s has the obvious classics, but if you go from 1999-2010 there are some strong films.

10 Things I Hate About You
She’s All That
Mean Girls
Superbad
Ghost World
American Pie
Bring it On
Juno
The Virgin Suicides
Napoleon Dynamite

1999-2000 also had Freaks and Geeks, which is a show, but probably the best high school TV show ever.

Obviously the 80s

 

[Adamant]

Which decade do you think has the best high school movies? I'm watching the Breakfast Club right now for the first time.

Mormon? They should do this with a muslim.

I think the current batch of movies have been the best. Haha, j/k. The 80's.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

The 80s, 100%.

There's just too many solid gold coming of age 80s teen movies for it to be topped.

 

[Wetarmpits]

That's like asking which type of food is giving the best diarrhea.

 

[Thai Domi]

Probably the 70s and 80s. As generation curves go, you had a lot of teens going to high school then. Hollywood looked to cash in on that I'm guessing.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

80s easily, but I'm guessing the 90s would come second.

Those ten plus...

...

There were twelve in that image...

you had a lot of teens going to high school then.

When have a lot of teens not gone to high school?

 

[Spam On Rye]

80s by a country mile. Used to have Heathers and Just One of the Guys on constant rotation as a kid.

 

[PG29 red0 Jr]

80s with ease

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

80's, and nobody can argue that it is even close. Then the 90's for the nice mix of raunchiness and good soundtracks.

 

[Sweater of AV]

80s. Hell, Dead Poets Society hasn't even been mentioned. 70s and 90s are also great.

Those ten plus...

etc.

yes. That jpeg was posted because it was the only google mage I can find that's able to fit in as many 80s teen. But yes I saw every one of them including the movies you posted with the exclusion of My Bodyguard. I would also fit Heathers in there

 

[TeTe]

The problem with those 2000s high school movies is theyre all slapstick comedies that have no depth.

 

[Thrawn33]

80s all day

 

[MLarson]

The 80s

 

[RoastBeast]

I prefer high school silent films from the 20s.
