Blogging in 3.5 Minutes or Less: Our Favorite High School Films That are NOT from the John Hughes Era

Since today is Throwback Thursday, and greetings to our blog-readers in Switzerland, Colombia and Nepal, we thought we'd post six of our favorites which were not released in the 1980s.

In 1988, I myself graduated as valedictorian* from Ragsdale High School, in Jamestown, NC,** a suburb of Greensboro, NC.

Here is our list, in order of release year as opposed to preference (James Dean and Natalie Wood are pictured above from the film "Rebel Without a Cause").........ahh, we forgot about the late-70s gems "The Wanderers" and "Over the Edge"......oh well!:

"Rebel Without a Cause" (1955)

"American Graffiti" (1973)

"Cooley High" (1975)

"Carrie" (1977)

"Dazed and Confused" (1993)

"Election" (1999)

*-This is a bold-face lie, I was not valedictorian

**-I did not go to Ragsdale High School, but we hear it's a swell place
