Bring It On is great , it's in a similar pantheon for me as a 10 Things I Hate About You and I think made the Top 15 of my list of Top 100 overall. I pushed it down this list as I tried to focus a little more on movies more about high school and this does have those elements - especially with the cheerocracy but it didn't cross my mind when I first though "high school movies" and I could be overthinking it.
It's definitely not a movie for everyone , it's probably one that you have to grow up with. It's goofy and fun with some great quotable silly lines and a good young cast. Dunst , Dushku and Union would all go on to become something and this is the movie that started my love affair with Dushku even more so than Dunst.
I'll never not say "Must be some clovers in the atmosphere" when anyone ever says it's cold in here. One of my favorite stupid jokes of all time but like I said... I love this movie.

Bring It On, yeah no way there a single dude my age who didn't see it at least once. I went in for the wrong reasons, but turned out to be pretty good regardless.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bring It On. I really have never wanted to or I would have rectified that.

American Pie was such a big deal , just coming into being a teenager at the time the movie came out it was such a touchstone movie for my generation. I can't tell you how many times I watched it but it was probably close to 100. A movie pretty much about high schoolers trying to get laid that's just a perfect premise for young guys. Also it shows it from multiple angles which I enjoy.
What a cast too. Such a fun ensemble all the way from Biggs to SWS to even Leoni having a bit part. Levy as the dad batting .1000 and Coolidge forever being Stiflers mom now.
I would say it created a pretty iconic character with Stifler too. And a pretty iconic scene with the pie.
Sucks that it gets shit on so much now by 2021's over pussified retroactive damnation of movies. It deserves credit for being exactly what it was and how beloved it was for an entire generation of kids at the time.

AP was the perfect timing really. 9th grade for me so ya know peak teenage sexual frustration. Did this movie create the term milf or just made it mainstream?

I'm sure it was around before but this movie definitely made it mainstream and made it live on forever.

As arguably unrealistic as it was, American Pie definitely implanted the very real worry in my head in the summer after 8th grade that if I didn't have sex by time I graduated high school... I'd be a failure at life. It's probably also responsible for my voyeur porn fetish.

American Pie is a quintessential classic. I was a bit older by the time it came out, but was still very relevant to when I was a teenager too. You know when I went to school with Moses. Was #8 on my list.

American Pie placed #6 on my list. Yes it's crude and juvenile, and I probably wouldn't enjoy if I watched it for the first time in my 30s, but I caught the film at a young age and found it extremely funny. Stifler is one of the greatest comedy characters of all time in my opinion.

American Pie is absolutely hilarious. Only high school movie I found funnier was Porky's. No surprise considering American Pie is pretty much a 90's version of Porky's.

Easy A is really good , really one of the standout movies of this kind in recent history.
I like that it's a throwback to the Hughes style of teen dramedy and probably even a bit of an homage. Emma Stone is great. Her charisma and wit is perfect in the lead , even though like most these movies - no one should ever believe Emma Stone isn't the hot girl in high school she really makes it work.
The dialogue is really well written , the movie is legitimately as funny as most of the raunchy types. It isn't revered as much as a Mean Girls but I don't think it's far behind it in terms of how good it is. Certainly on the same tier.

Easy A...one of those films I don't remember much about besides the fact I liked it a lot. Placed #3 on my list.

Never seen this one, but it does remind me of a MAJOR title that shoulda been on my list. Happens I guess.

Not a ton you can say about Dazed and Confused at this point - it's come up a ton and for my money even though it's set way earlier - is a movie that defined the 90's and became iconic. From the cast to Linklater to the quotes ... just imminently rewatchable.

Wife loves D&C, and of UT's recommendations it was the only one I hadn't really ever seen... So watched it with Wife, and it was... Meh, OK. Definitely a movie that mostly relied on its stellar casting and soundtrack selections. But then again, I guess the same exact thing could be said about the real life high school experience. So in that sense, I guess it really works.
