The 18 Best High School Movies

If you read my blog then you know movie night is a big night in our home. I’m always up for any excuse to cuddle on the couch with the family.

Regardless of your age, there are some high school movies that never lose their shine. The “coming of age” theme is one we can all relate to.  I lean towards comedy, but threw in a few classics for good measure. (*Please check the ratings as some are UR, PG, PG-13, and R.)

Grab your popcorn and enjoy!

    Wonderful list! I think Breakfast Club was my favorite of them all. I could watch that for days.

    Loved most of these and ate constantly playing in our home too! Didn’t see one of my top 5 favorites: 10 Things I Hate About You.

    Great list, including some of my kids’ faves. Can we expand to 15 and add Rushmore, Election, Dazed and Confused, the Last Picture Show…and Bye Bye Birdie?

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.
