8. Election (1999)
Reece Witherspoon as a Type A student who needs to win Senior Class President to round out her college application. Matthew Broderick wickedly plays the teacher who is tormented by her perky perfection. Proof that politics is not for the faint of heart.
9. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
Who can forget Sean Penn’s legendary portrayal of stoner surfer Spicoli and his endless battle with teacher Mr. Hand. The cast is chock full of future stars like Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nicolas Cage and Forest Whitaker.
10. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Sigh. Love Ferris. Will always think this is one of the best high school movies out there.
