this thread is proof that if a movie has anything to do with 'school' there's like a 75% chance it's good.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 25 April 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME!!!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 25 April 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

How has this thread gone so long without a mention of Gregory's Girl? Allow me to rectify:

(1) Gregory's Girl
(2) Ferris Bueller's Day Off
(3) Election
(4) Grease
(5) The Breakfast Club

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 April 2005 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

(this list is rubbish as it doesn't have Pretty In Pink or Ten Things I Hate About You or Heathers or Clueless or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in it, but five isn't enough).

In fact, they may be like my ten favourite films ever anyway, regardless of whether they are "school" movies or not.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 April 2005 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

1) Show Me Love (Fucking Åmål)
2) Pocket Money (L'Argent de poche)
3) Clueless
4) Saved!
5) Election
6) Ghost World (maybe)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 25 April 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)
