High School Angst Movies!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Poll question: High School Angst Movies!

I seem to remember a poll like this a while back... What the hey!

[jayavarman]

1. I love my dead gay son

.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. I could NOT find the pic of this funeral scene... quel dommage... n/t

[DontBlameMe]

8. "I wonder how he'd feel about a limp-wristed son with a pulse.."

(I think that's right)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. This is Ohio. If you don't have a brewski in your hand you might as well

be wearing a dress.

[amandabeech]

2. Sixteen Candles

The bus, the geeks, the cute guys, the angst.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Sorry, thought about including this but I decided that John Hughes gets

one entry and it's TBC.

[amandabeech]

21. Yeah, I understand.

He gets the lifetime achievement award in this category, I think.

[jdsmith]

3. I voted for Rushmore, but it's not about angst

Max is anti-angst.

[coloradodem2005]

5. Weird Science?

That would qualify.

[tjwash]

6. That was my HEAD. I'm so wasted...

Good ol' Sean Penn.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. "Mister, if you don't shut up, I'm going to kick 100% of your ass!"

[southpaw]

22. "I hope you had a hell of a piss, Arnold!!!"

[welshTerrier2]

20. Mr. Hand: What are you people?

On dope? (Ray Walston was great ...)

I also like Sean Penn's line:

"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools.

I can fix it.

[Kat45]

7. Heathers

Love that movie.

[MrSlayer]

9. Class of 1984 was a classic. The River's Edge was cool too.

Certainly more angst than fluff movies like Breakfast Club.

[Tummler]

10. Big thumbs up for "The River's Edge"

:thumbsup:

Pump Up the Volume, despite its stupid title, also deserves mention. With the recent FCC crackdown, it's as timely today as ever.

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. I've been moved around all my life.

Dallas, Baton Rouge, Vegas -- Sherwood, Ohio -- and there's always been a Snappy's Snack Shack. Any town, any time, you can pop a ham & cheese in the microwave and feast on a Turbo Dog.

Keeps me sane.

[Whitacre D_WI]

12. BTW -- you know Heather Chandler is dead, right?

The Big C.

15. "Corn Nuts!"

[Whitacre D_WI]

19. BQ or plain?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

24. Wow. I didn't realize this actress actually died until reading the link.

I thought you were just goofing on the stuff the characters in the movie would say "Gotta motor if I'm going to make it to the funeral!" "Hey Everyone! Ram and Kurt died in a repressed homosexual suicide pact!" "No Way!"

[Feanorcurufinwe]

14. It's not a movie but I must mention

Freaks and Geeks

[ForrestGump]

18. "Massacre at Central High"

From 1976.

[Squeegee]

23. Better Off Dead?
