ONTD Original: six (or seven) movies to celebrate the end of the school year

[my_moloko]

It's the end of June which means for most people, school's out! While your OP hasn't been in an educational institution in over a decade, I still think it's fun to get into the summer mood with some end of school year hijinks on film. Let's start!

Can’t Hardly Wait is the best teen comedy of all time and I’ll go to my grave with this!

It just turned 25. I’m so old

I agree. It came out when I graduated eighth grade and I was like, omg this is what high school will be like. I saw it in theatres twice.

7th grade for me and I saw it in the theater too! I can prob quote the entire thing lol I’ve watched it so many times

[hellojeds]

Never heard of it, never seen it and it came out when I was a teen! It's definitely on the list for this weekend, just need to find it on streaming

i recently rewatched dazed and confused and after years of thinking it was overrated, i reversed my opinion. i wish more character driven, well-written, stylistically directed movies like it got made. studios butcher too many good stories.

All great choices though missing Say Anything and A Goofy Movie, end of school classics :)

Love both of those!

I’ve never seen all of say anything just like a few scenes where and there .
Should I watch it?

[lovelylaura23]

Absolutely. It's easily Cameron Crowes best movie and is the most John Hughes-esque movie that doesn't feel like a rip off.

Happy to see Dazed and Confused included. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time.
