Maybe KIDS.
SAVED is good… Was Risky Business on there… it had to be.
I agree with The Outsiders…on that track how about Rumble Fish? The Lost Boys?
Good list – thanks for remembering Wiseman’s film. I might add ‘American Beauty’, ‘War Games’, and if military academy counts, you have to mention ‘Taps’.
what about She’s All That and Varsity Blues? They weren’t oscar winning but they were pretty entertaining.
The Goonies
Varsity Blues
10 Things I Hate About You
She’s All That
Drive Me Crazy
I agree with almost all of the films on this list, especially The Breakfast Club for number one, but I believe Never Been Kissed should also have been included. It’s a great film that is far too often overlooked.
Donnie Darko should have been number 1. Or better.
Or at least 7.
Sixteen Candles is 49? oh please… All the list is wrong except the first place=)

I gotta agree with number 1! The Breakfast Club is simply one of the best high school movie i’ve ever seen! Awesome!
