I loved Rushmore and American Pie and might would even add American Pie 2 in the list.

I personally enjoyed Varsity Blues more than Friday night Lights.

Others I would possibly add:
1. 10 Things I hate About you
2. Wasn't Scream starting up in high school?
3. Maybe Bring it On if you are going to include Clueless and Mean Girls.

Haha, it just goes to show you the difference in generations. I didn't think it was all that. Same with Dazed. I thought D&C was good, but there are people who think it's the best eva.. Which ever film you grow up with will undoubtedly be your favorites.

Those just missed the list, but I could see them making the cut.

Please, God no with Bring it On and crap like that. Isn't that all about dancing?

Loved pie 2 as well.


10 things I hate about you is worthy to be added.

Agree again on Varsity Blues.

So Varsity Blues was better than FNL? I don't remember either one that well anymore. Drugs.

Who to take away for 10 Things?

I would put Bring It On on par with Mean Girls though. Corny shite movies.

If you can simultaneously pay attention to a movie's storyline and fap to it, it's the GOAT

I can't see who to drop for 10 things. All those on the list are great. Yes I would add VB instead of FNL.

To me, yes on the Varsity Blues being better.

As far as 10 Things, I would put it above half the list myself. I was a fan of Election or Donnie Darko. I would put it above Napoleon Dynamite even though ND might be one of the most quotable movies of the past 20 years, it was still a turd sandwich.

Say what? "One of the most quotable films in 20 years" is a "turd sandwich"? Does not compute.

fricking great call. I would put Fired up above just about every movie on this list, it is really funny too. I would leave Dazed ahead for nostalgia and American Pie above it because it was just a better move but in terms of just enjoyment, Fired Up is really fun.

As in you laughed at the ridiculousness of the movie the whole time?

Having memorable lines doesn't make it a good movie. I hated Napoleon Dynamite the first time I saw it but there were about 5 parts that were really funny. Some of the lines are very easily remembered and you can shoehorn the lines into just about any conversation.

Fired up is not as good as those listed in the OP, IMO. Still decent tho.
