[The Amazing Lee]

I know it's a college movie but where the hell is Animal House

 

[The Shape]

EW is the ****. I look forward to reading it every Friday when it comes, but it DIDN'T COME TODAY.

I'm hurt.

I'm hurt.

Really,I got mine in the mail today,Fall Music Preview.

 

[The Chairman]

I know it's a college movie but where the hell is Animal House

Animal House is one of the most overrated movies ever made.

And Fast Times should've been at the top. 2 isn't bad, though.

 

[Majik1387]

I like EW, but when it comes to making Top Lists, they suck major ass.

 

[Immortalfire]

No Porky's? EW sucks

 

[Immortalfire]

I know it's a college movie but where the hell is Animal House

I think you answered your own question.

 

[The Shape]

Really,I got mine in the mail today,Fall Music Preview.

Damnit. This blows real hard for me.

 

[JackBauer]

no Summer School?

 

[The Chairman]

No Porky's? EW sucks

Porky's is good once, but gets old really fast. It doesn't have the staying power of the others. Plus, it's way to OTT. The reason that Fast Times and The Breakfast Club work so well is because they are 100 % realistic, especially Fast Times, which is a film I can relate to all too well being a newly minted 10th grader. And I think American Pie was Top 10 worthy. I'm glad Rebel Without A Cause ranked as high as it did, because it's one of the greatest movies ever made.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Back to the Future should have been higher up.

 

[Ghostvirus]

What the heck was Boyz N The Hood doing on there? was there even a High School in that film?

 

[Orko Is King]

And 3 o'clock High is where???

 

[PimpDaddyDOC-OCK]

Angus,Varsity Blues & The Girl Next Door should have made the list also.

 

[Wolfwood]

Harry Potter? Wouldn't have thought to include that in a high school movie list.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

what is napoleon dynomite doing on that list?

My brother hates that movie.

 

[Kmack]

Uh, just noticed something. Where is West Side Story?

 

[WorthyStevens]

Boyz N the Hood before Ferris Bueller? Blasphemous.

 

[The Chairman]

I just noticed how glad I am that Bye Bye Birdie is on the list. It's a classic. Ann-Margret is awesome.

 

[Majik1387]

Uh, just noticed something. Where is West Side Story?

I don't think EW knew that the gangs were supposed to be in high school.
