> Second, why are Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Scream there? Neither of them is a "high school movie," a category that features as one of its main criteria "involves high school." Both of those films are about characters the right age for high school, sure, but that's not good enough.

Eh? Hogwarts *is* a high school, just for witches and wizards. And Scream is involved with high schools enough that there are scenes set in the high school, all the characters to go a high school, and the school principal and a few teachers are characters. Sounds good enough for me.

Of course, why Goblet of Fire and not any of the other three?

> Good job listing movies about college basketball on your high school movies list, dimwits. Need a proper high school ball film? There's always Teen Wolf!

Hoop Dreams? That's primarily about two kids playing basketball at a private high school and only has an ending about them starting college. So I expect this one's ok too.

But what scientific method was applied to determine that Scream is approximately one better than Hoop Dreams is a formula I'd like to see.

> Breakfast Club is one of the most amazingly overrated films of all time...

Here's where I totally agree with you. It's not that good. It's not even that good compared to other John Hughes high school movies.

This is, however, an EW list, not a list from a respected film organization. It's not like there was a snowball's chance in hell that Hoop Dreams would make #1.

> Also, I vote we replace Grease with Rocky Horror on this list, too.

Ok, it's time for you to understand something. Rocky Horror is *terrible*. I don't think I've actually seen a more torturous movie in my life. Just because a few stoners invented a group participation routine for it doesn't make it good.
