Test4VitalSigns Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 QUOTE (anagramking @ Oct 13 2006, 06:57 PM) Another one that took place in AZ was Pump up the Volume, with Christian Slater (the guy who sounds like Jack Nicholson without trying). Good call. that is an awesome flick. Having said that Slater tries TOO hard to be like Jack later on in his career...probably killed his career actually. A good example is that very dark, morbid comedy Very Bad Things. I like the movie but Slater was way over the top in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) Speaking of disturbing flicks concerning high school anybody remember The River's Edge? Speaking of Christian Slater how about Heathers? Another 80's flick Vison Quest with Mathew Modine. Another one for the dark and disturbing group Elephant which is based on Columbine.

Ru5h F@n Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 QUOTE (Arndrake @ Oct 13 2006, 12:33 PM) Wierd Science had a message. Lisa was trying to get the guys to be confident in themselves in order to find true love. How about Some Kind of Wonderful? I always enjoyed the look on Keith and Duncan's faces near the end when Amanda slaps Hardy... twice! She's Having A Baby: I guess this was more young adult, but Kevin Bacon's character seemed rather immature for most of the film. Even though he was an adult with adult responsibilities, you got the sense he wanted to still be a kid, until his wife almost loses the baby. That whole segment still makes me weepy. John Hughes was the master of the 80's coming of age film. Even if he didn't direct them, he still had the midas touch. Oh I loved Weird Science. Kelly Le Brock was a hot babe then.

I like the last lines of the book that were written "I never had friends again like the ones I had when I was twelve. Does anyone?"

rushgoober Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) How can we forget Grease?? I thought of Grease. Great movie, but way too unrealistic to make it on my list with my original criteria. Still, a majorly fun movie, and pretty much the only musical I can stand.
