Clueless
OK 66 Points 1995

Cute but dated Beverly Hills high school spoof from the mid-90s. Stars Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd provide plenty of charm, but the of-the-moment slang hasn’t aged well.

Undefeated
OK 17 Points 2011

Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes…

17 Again
OK 83 Points 2009

Formulaic story, competent execution and charming performances make 17 Again a successful teen dramedy, and a decent way to pass the time for coach passengers of all ages.

Think of it as Heaven Can Wait meets High School Musical

Good 66 Points 1961

“Introducing Warren Beatty” reads the opening credits, reason enough to watch this overwrought high school movie. The legendary womanizer shot out of the gates a bona fide heartthrob – the richest boy in town, captain of the football team, and nice guy to boot. Natalie Wood matches him in to-di…

Varsity Blues
Good 17 Points 1999

Was this the film that inspired the TV show ‘Friday Night Lights’? It could have been, except it has more humor and the drama isn’t as heavy.. In the big state of Texas, Football is king, it is the place where a winning team and its coach are revered, and not much else matters – including…

Good 66 Points 2013

An Instagram moment propels this fitfully funny comedy about a High School lit teacher who gets aroused by a former student, after which video evidence gets socially shared around school. It’s all very au courant.

The English Teacher keeps its sex comedy in bounds by steering clear of curre…

Goosebumps
Good 66 Points 2015

Even as an adult who hasn’t read any of R.L. Stine’s fantastically popular Goosebumps horror novels for children, Goosebumps the movie made for an engaging and satisfying airplane entertainment experience. One can only imagine how much better it was received by the millions of kids who treasu…

Charlie Bartlett
Very Good 33 Points 2007

Kicked out of private school, Charlie works his charm (after a few bumps) at public school — eventually helping everyone discover the wonders of psychiatry… and drugs. This morphs in to a very funny parody of both high school shenanegans as well as the psycho-medical community — all with a r…

Coach Carter
Very Good 90 Points 2005

Inspiring tale of an inner-city high school basketball coach who went the distance for his players.
