Top 5: Prom prep films

Top+5%3A+Prom+prep+films

By Matthew Schulte `15 | Staff Writer

 

After a hard year of studying and completing homework assignments, it’s time to have some fun. That being said, with the school year coming to an end and prom right around the corner, what better way to get into the “graduation mood” then to view five incredible and classic teen flicks.

 

5. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find  Jared Hess’ “Napoleon Dynamite”…time after time. Somehow, awkward, quiet and tater tot-toting Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder)  manages to steal our hearts, along with Deb’s (Tina Majorino.)

4. Footloose (1984)

After a hard night of dancing, kick off your Sunday shoes and watch Herbert Ross’ eternally corny and sparkly dance flick, “Footloose.” Post viewing, you’ll probably begin to understand, or perhaps even respect Reverend Shaw Moore’s (John Lithgow) ban on dancing.

 

3. Grease (1978)

Truly a pioneer of the dance battle, Randal Kleiser’s  “Grease” is a cheery and colorful musical that also happens to be a perfect example of why jazz hands should be banned at high school proms across the nation.

 

2. Prom Night (2008)

Although cliché, Nelson McCormick’s “Prom Night” renders every high school graduate’s worst fear:  Being chased by an obsessive, coldblooded and barbarous killer. Sounds like a night to remember.

 

1. Back to the Future (1985)

Time travel, flux capacitors and flaming cars would suffice enough to give Robert Zemeckis’ “Back to the Future” a high scoring rank on anyone’s list of best Prom movies, but in the end, Marty McFly’s rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” immortalizes the film, putting it on a pedestal all of its own.
