The best high school movies

Now, I don't mean to brag or anything, but cheesy high school movies are kind of my forte. I watch them ALL the time - they're perfect for background watching when you're doing your homework, or on a duvet day. 

So, I decided to compile a list of my all-time favourites. It isn't exhaustive by any means, but next time you're feeling down or looking for a classic to watch, try one of these!



Heathers
This is probably a bit of an unheard one - to tell you the truth, I only watched it after listening to the musical, but I was instantly in love. It's a bit of a cult classic, about an outsider who manages to infiltrate the most popular clique in school - the three Heathers. But it all takes a bit of a U turn when her enigmatic boyfriend begins a murder campaign...
It's absolutely hilarious and brilliantly quotable - 'how very' is my new fave catchphrase, and it's definitely worth a watch.
Heather, Heather, Heather...and Veronica

John Tucker Must Die
Also known as the ultimate girl power movie. Three girls being screwed over by the same guy decide to take their revenge, and it's hilarious. Added bonus: the soundtrack is pretty great as well. Who doesn't like the All American Rejects?!


The Breakfast Club
This is the classic teen movie - 5 kids from different cliques with 5 different reasons for being stuck in detention on a Saturday morning. It's a brilliant coming of age movie that resonates with the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess and the criminal. 


Clueless
I don't think I can even begin to explain my love for Cher. Her facial expressions are my facial expressions, and her driving skills...probably surpass mine! This is such a funny film, and I love that it's based on Emma by Jane Austen. 


She's All That
This is a bit of a random one - I don't really know how well regarded/known it is? (I looked it up and apparently it's pretty popular?!) I stumbled across it one evening on Netflix and it's just a really sweet film. Freddie Prinze Jr was pretty hot in the 90s as well though!


So, I guess this is my random post of the week! Hopefully expect more up - I'm on half term this week so maybe I'll be able to write another blog post.
