Tell us: What's the best movie ever set in a high school?
Posted by Lorrie Lynch
The magazine this week has a nice interview with High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, who dishes on everything from if she ever performed in her own high school's musical to if it gets tiring chasing after co-star Zac Efron in all the HSM movies (the newest one, High School Musical 3: Senior Year hits theaters next Friday). All that talk about high school experiences got us talking in the office about our own memories, and which movies we thought best portrayed high school as we remember it. Some of our favorites included Dazed and Confused, Pretty in Pink, and Can't Hardly Wait, but now we're turning it over to you. Tell us in the comments below: What do you think is the best movie ever set in a high school?

I'm tardy, but it's school...
Breakfast Club and The Faculty.
tnx a lot, i`ve downloaded the program, installed it. Didn`t get into all features but there are some results already. My account is slowly filling with cash.
Great thanx:-)
Ooooppssss my foot!
Hollywood Knights will always be the best! ! !
Hands Down! ! !
Breakfast Club, Grease and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Difficult to choose a fav but since I like musicals, I would have to say Grease.
oops I meant Ferris Buehler's Day off
Breakfast Club, Ferris Buehler's Day, And Grease!!!!
Is Hairspray with nikki blonsky a high school movie? If it is I give 4 stars!! :)
Grease the best no doubt about it.

and
GREASE
they are two VERY different movies, but BOTH good
My two fav all time high school movies are:
TO SIR WITH LOVE
I agree with the fans of Grease! Grease is the best movie ever filmed in a high school! With epic actors like John Travolta and his co stars, Grease is a film that is classic to high school movies.
My favorite is Blackboard Jungle, running a close second Mr. Holland's Opus. Both pictures had execllent acting.
"Hollywood Knights" has to be the best ever ! ! !
It looks like it took place in the '60's in Central Oklahoma City were I used to live and our "Tubby's" was called "Hollie's". They replaced it with a McDonald's. All of us kids were poor and helped each other to keep our run-down "Hot-Rods" running.
Rent it and watch it! You'll love it! ! !My '57 "Sheby" was a copper color 2-door hardtop.
The Breakfast Club! I am retired after teaching high school and middle school for 40 years. I still laugh at the antics in this movie.
Fast times at Ridgemont high.....no doubt about it!
What about Pretty in pink? Sixteen candles or Ferris Bulerss day off.
AMERICAN GRAFFITI (Ron Howard)
PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED (Nicholas Cage)
Tied for best ever high school films in my book.
BLACKBOARD JUNGLE without any doubt. The cast including Glenn Ford, Anne Francis, Vic Morrow, Sidney Poitier and others were directed with exceptional expertise by Richard Brooks. This is a very real must-see movie.
The Breakfast Club wins hands down!
Exactly Stephanie, Grease is a musical the movie was just changed a bit from the musical in New York! Some of you aren't even answering the question that's being asked!
I love that there are like real cliques like how there is in real life when I go to Middle School and High School.
"Mr. Holland's Opus" is my favorite movie set in a high school.
As far as movie MUSICALS go, it's "Grease" hands down!
I like the Drama Club In Twinkle town In HSM 2. The Moon looked sooooooooo cool! I wish I was in the movie with them.
Grease is the best of all times!!!!!!!!
Grease is the best of all times!!!!!!!!
