Congratulations to Talli! I'd probably go with Ferris Bueller.
And we need some hot fireWOMEN!
Bish Denham saidā€¦
Yeah Talli! My favorite movie about school would have to be American Graffiti. And, even though it isn't about my generation, I really liked The Breakfast Club.
Laura Eno saidā€¦
What a list! I never thought about movies that revolve around school. My favorites would be #10, 8, 4.
Have a great weekend!
Rick Watson saidā€¦
Breakfast club was a hoot!
LR saidā€¦
I loved Dead Poets Society. And also liked Pretty in Pink back in the good ole 80's.

Have a HOT weekend! :)
Luanne G. Smith saidā€¦
Lots of good back to school movies! Grease and Breakfast Club are probably a couple of favorites.

Happy Friday!
Linda G. saidā€¦
Wow, I've seen all of those! Good ones.
Linda Kage saidā€¦
I love this list. You have some great titles listed. It made me try to come up with more. I thought of Dead Poet's Society like LR, but totally forgot Pretty in Pink (and I love that movie!). Then there's School of Rock, Never Been Kissed, Twilight, High School Musical, A Walk to Remember. Do flight training schools count: Top Gun??

Can't think of anything with fire...Oh wait. I AM NUMBER FOUR!! Thanks for the Friday morning fun!
Colette Martin saidā€¦
Great list of movies. I need to re-watch some of them!
Summer Ross saidā€¦
Congrats Talli!

Grease is my favorite movie about school.

Hot- fireman- I'm there. :)
Unknown saidā€¦
My favourite: Pretty In Pink!

Congrats Talli!
Interesting list. I actually recgnise some of those LOL! ;O)

Totally with Alex on the hot FireWomen thought. Hmmm, maybe he could provide us with some pictures of a few hot CassaFireWomen?

Anyway:

Yep. Absolutely agree with you about the #1 school movie. "Animal House" is at the top of my list, too. But a few others I might have on mine that you left off:

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Dazed and Confused," "Napoleon Dynamite," and even "Carrie" since it all revolves around how she is treated at school.

CarrieBoo saidā€¦
Doh! That'll teach me to get busy and not check blog land!

Oooooh, Ferris, yeah. Brekkie Club was a good'n too. But I haven't seen Animal House. :)
Leigh Caron saidā€¦
Cool list. My movie? West Side Story...the dance at the school gym when Tony and Maria meet.
Cate Masters saidā€¦
What a fun list! I love all those movies, but Animal House would top my list too.
Hard to believe summer's gone!
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Alex - I'll let you choose the HOT women firefighters :)

Bish - Loved the music from Grease and American Graffiti. Live-In Handyman loved the cars :)

Laura - All good ones!

Life 101 - I'm seeing a lot of us liked The Breakfast Club. Have we all been there?

LR - Dead Poets was on my original list, but it missed the last cut. So it would be #11 or #12 for me. I forgot about Pretty in Pink! HOT weekend...LOVE IT :)

~Sia McKye~ saidā€¦
I escaped today (shhh, don't tell anyone)! I've been in a very intensive training course this past week. My poor brain. So I escaped today, well for this morning, anyway, to visit.

I loved Good Will Hunting and like you, I love anything Hogwarts, lol! What was the one with Drew Barrymore? I liked that one too.

Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE
J.L. Campbell saidā€¦
Definitely Grease for me! Congrats to Talli.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
L.G. - Yep :)

Linda G - I think school movies are popular because people can easily identify.

Linda K - I forgot about Pretty in Pink, too. And I liked it, too :)

Colette - Some movies I like to re-watch. Most I like to re-member :)

Summer - Hurry! Final HOT Fireman of the summer :)
Miranda Hardy saidā€¦
Tough choice! Grease and Breakfast Club were two of my favorites growing up. I'm not sure I can decide between them.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Clarissa - I can't believe I forgot that one!

Karen - I'm rarely in a serious mood. Can you tell :)

Madeleine - Yay! I don't give hard tests, LOL :)

Chris - You and Alex get together and take up that challenge :) CARRIE is in there...#6.

CarrieBoo - "Bueller? Bueller?" I still laugh when I think about a lot of scenes from that movie. I think Animal House was hilarious.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Em-Musing - A friend of mine loves West Side Story, too.

Cate - We must be warped in that 0.0 way :)

Sia - Yay for you...you're letting your brain play hooky!

J.L. - "You're the One That I Want" has been playing on a loop in my brain most of the day now :)

Miranda - No need. We'll celebrate them all :)
CATachresis saidā€¦
That fireman was hot!! Nice tatts!

My school movie would be St Trinians!!
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
CATachresis - So that's why you climb trees, eh?
Golden Eagle saidā€¦
Congratulations to Talli!

Absolutely agree with Hogwarts. :)
Nick Wilford saidā€¦
How about something "old school". Goodbye Mr Chips? Nice to meet you. :)
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Golden Eagle - Go Harry and Crew :)

Nick - Oh, wow. That is old school. Like 1930s? I think I saw that in b/w on television with my mother when I was a girl.
LD Masterson saidā€¦
Well, I won't say it's my favorite, but I have fond memories of To Sir With Love.
Unknown saidā€¦
My favorite movie about school... when I was in high school, it was "10 Things I Hate About You"... and now I'm not sure... perhaps "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". NOO WAIT! "Submarine". For sure, "Submarine."

Missed Periods saidā€¦
Dead Poets Society is definitely one of mine. Oh, and Heathers. Definitely Heathers.
Empty Nest Insider saidā€¦
We just recently watched Animal House with our younger son before he went back to school. Little did we know he would be living in one! Julie
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
LD - Another good one, for sure.

Raquel - I like '10 Things'.

Jenny - Forgot about Heathers!

Julie - LOL! A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing :)
Angela Brown saidā€¦
The Breakfast Club is one of my all-time faves as well. And I could certainly stand a great fireman pic as well.
L. Diane Wolfe saidā€¦
I still like Animal House. I liked Clueless, too.
Lydia Kang saidā€¦
I'm glad you had the Breakfast club on this list!
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Angela - That fireman's all yours for the looking :)

Diane - Clueless! Didn't cross my mind. I was clueless, LOL!

Lydia - Everybody identifies with that one!
Anonymous saidā€¦
The Breakfast Club is my favorite.

I just finished your book. It was awesome.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Medeia - Thank you. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Old Kitty saidā€¦
The original St Trinian's films!! LOL!!!

Yes to Hot Fireman but lose the'tache!! LOL!! Take care

Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Old Kitty - CATachresis named St Trinian's, too. Maybe it never made it here, or I missed it. It's a new name to me. I'll have to check it out.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Southpaw - I agree :)
Leslie S. Rose saidā€¦
Hogwarts all the way for me. Mean Girls gets an honorable mention.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Leslie - Good choices :)
Michelle Wallace saidā€¦
I'm not too much of a movie person, but I love Grease! And Dead Poet's Society is a classic!!
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Michelle - I agree on both of those.
