Spent the last couple of hours at work geeking out about these two with one of my co-workers.

I've watched both way too many times and they never get old. And it helps that they're quotable as fuck. I might watch both back to back this weekend, actually.

Superbad is great. Borderline genius. Haven't seen Mean Girls and after a quick google, probably never will. I'll throw in Fast Times at Ridgemont High too.

For added quirkiness, Napoleon Dynamite.

You sound like dudes I went to school with who thinks it's a chick flick or something. Then I get them to watch it and they pretty much always ended up loving it.

Also yeah, Napoleon Dynamite is also my jam. There was a point in time where I would watch it every Sunday after 6pm. I don't know why.

I kind of agree with the ending, but other than that, I fucks with the Breakfast Club.

I too want to get around to watching Fast Times, which I've been meaning to get to forever now. That and Can't Hardly Wait.

I liked Booksmart. It was pretty much girl Superbad, and trust me, I was trying not to retain that association as I was watching but the movie kept reminding me of it more and more. Doesn't help that one of the actresses is Jonah Hill's little sister.

Lady Bird I wasn't too crazy about. I didn't get all the hype around it. It was basically an inferior version of The Edge of Seventeen.

I saw 10 Things in its entirety for the first time a few months ago. Loved it! It has this strong Mean Girls vibe to it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a source of inspiration.

Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies. Anytime I run across it I end up watching it.

I'll add Eighth Grade to the list. I related too hard to some of it. The scene at the door of the pool party. Lmao.

And yeah, Lady Bird was a let down after all of the hype.

Heather's is great. And it's funny how it's DNA is in a lot of these kinds of movie that followed it.

Jawbreaker was directly influenced by Heathers and Clueless. Jawbreaker (and I want to believe 10 Things I Hate About You as well) went on to inspire Mean Girls.

On a side note. I watched that Heathers TV show that came out a couple of years ago. I only watched about 5 minutes of the first episode before I turned it off. I can already tell it was going to be insufferably bad. And to the shock of no one, it was cancelled super quick.
And while we're at it, they plan on making a Jawbreaker show for some whack ass reason. Jawbreaker wasn't even good...

Mean Girls is good, but I don't think I would put it in the top tier.

Dazed and Confused is probably the closest to the "perfect" high school comedy, that really captured the feel of being in High School in my opinion.

Lots of good movies listed in this topic, I will add The Spectacular Now for a more indie dramedy, and Can't Hardly Wait is a guilty pleasure of mine, way better than it should have been.

Mean Girls is amazing. Tina Fay is a triple threat in that one. Wrote, directed, and acted.
Mean Girls was directed by Mark Waters.
But she was heavily involved with producing it.

Superbad is one of my favorite movies ever.

Mean Girls is def up there too. Funny that the one guy doesnt want to watch it. My buddy was one of those nah its a chick flick kind of people. Think he watched it and thought it was ok, but he kept on not believing me when I said it wasnt.

Mean Girls is pretty good but I've never had the draw to rewatch it. Superbad is pure dumpster juice that ruined comedies for over a decade.
