FilthyImp posted:Superbad's a really great transition piece movie, though. Even though the characters are still in High School, it's just perfunctory setting to move along all the transitional elements. At the end, they explicitly talk about Senior Portraits or Grad Pictures while shopping for Dorm poo poo, but by then we understand that HS is done and that they're much different people. It does a great job of capturing that last week or two when kids are just kind of in Limbo and waiting for the graduation event to be formally done with all this poo poo. its terribly subjective. because the op cited breakfast club whereas i would say thats so far from a high school movie for me cause wtf. i went to high school here in nz. there is too much temporal and cultural distance for me to relate to breakfast club at all. only the iconic song that kicks in at the end. i would have to point to linklaters boyhood and, my favourite movie ever, dazed and confused as high school movies that constitute what i relate to as a high school movie. ladybird too duh. sentimental, bittersweet, sad, missing, 1979 stuff. an empty quad after friday afternoon, you know. honestly, the closest thing to a high school movie for me would have to be a tv show. summer height's high. because the pretty realistic raw australian setting is v close to nz in high school culture. american high school movies are just in the uncanny valley of 13 reasons why and high school musical and like, endless cafeteria and lockers hall set pieces. university films? i agree with filthyimp. the experience of 'firsts' and change quickly dissipates and everybody has such varied experiences. films that focus on just-a-bit-after-uni seem to weirdly sum up the uni experience better than any movie that directly focuses on them could. saint elmo's fire, reality bites.

^ Seconding that film. Love it. There is that great scene near the start of the 21 Jump Street film where the early 2000s protags try to be cool. but in early 2010 cool is the vegan gay friendly kids.
