We all had to start our academic journey somewhere, and for most of us, the first stop was kindergarten. Now, there aren't too many major movies in existence that center on a classroom of five-year-olds, so the pickins are a little slim here, but I'd be remiss if I didn't include Ivan Reitman'sKindergarten Cop in this list. It's far from Oscar-wort...
Things get a little more serious once we start talking about scripts that throw around such words as xanthosis, logorrhea, and pulchritude. Writer/director Doug Atchison'sAkeelah and the Bee was an original film inspired by the true-life talented grade-schoolers who tackle the toughest words each year in Scripps National Spelling Bee. The 2006 film...
Let's jump up to high school with the first of many John Hughes classics. The Breakfast Club focuses on the more disciplinary side of school and throws five teenagers from different cliques together one Saturday for all-day detention. Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy came together to form the "Brat ...
Sometimes high school movies attempt to teach us that people aren't really all that different despite their cliques. Other times, like in Mark Waters' 2004 comedy Mean Girls, they show that those cliques are immature and temporary realities at best, and they get the message across in hilarious fashion. Mean Girls isn't just one of those "survive hi...
While the premise of Herbert Ross' 1984 musical dramaFootloose sounds like it was conjured up in a Hollywood boardroom--a Chicago teen moves to a small town where a local minister has outlawed dancing and rock music--it was actually inspired by a similar way of life in a small Oklahoma town. It might sound like a straight-up story of kids acting ou...
Look, school is great and everything, but sometimes you just need a day off. But no matter how epic your plans are for a skip day, there's no way you're going to reach the epic heights of slackerdom achieved in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Though it doesn't star the famous Brat Pack, this Hughes film that takes place mostly outside of high school is e...
Grease is way more musical than any high school experience has any right being--and the students are far older than any high schooler in history--but it remains a necessary inclusion on a list of best school-related movies. Randal Kleiser's 1978 musical romance is nearly two hours of an absolute fever dream that ramps up the 1950s glory days glimps...
This is our first actual biographical film in the list, but not the last. Joe Johnston's 1999 drama followed the young life of Homer H. Hickam, Jr. (Jake Gyllenhaal), the son of a coal miner who, after the launch of Sputnik 1in 1957, took up rocketry, a past time that would lead to him becoming a NASA engineer. Hickam Jr.'s own 1998 memoir "Rocket ...
Back to Hughes! His 1984 directorial debut Sixteen Candles might just be the quintessential coming-of-age comedy, at least as far as fans of 16-year-old Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) are concerned. The story tracks a rough couple of days for Samantha, who sees her entire family forgetting her most important birthday amidst plans for her older sis...
There are so many notable things about Fast Times at Ridgemont High that have nothing to do with the film itself that the story could (almost) be overlooked in favor of the movie's cultural significance: It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2005, it's the feature directorial debu...
