Yeah fair. Although I think they're only technically in HS in the first one.

After that it's College Years etc

edit:

90s you not only had stuff like Clueless but also the Slasher revivals thanks to Scream.

Finally got around to see Oppenheimer last night. Not really news, but it was such a well made film. I know Nolan's time jumping narrative can be off-putting, but I thought it was a great movie.

'Amazing' and 'Teen Horror' probably shouldnt be used in the same sentence?

Then again...'Amazing' can mean a lot of things.

Like...'Its amazing they got that film made!'

Also 'Not Another Teen Movie', one of the better spoofs of that type.

Napoleon Dynamite was utterly lost on me. At the time of release I thought it was just plain unfunny; the teen awkwardness thing dialed up to 11 didn't strike a chord and really started to grate on me to the point where it was basically unwatchable.

My 10-years-younger brother thinks the movie is god's cinematic gift to his generation, so I chalked up my opinion to being old.

Eurotrip is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s pretty (very?) problematic but it’s good, dumb fun.

Eurotrip is worth it just for the song at the beginning with Matt Damon.

Andy Samberg flying through the forest at terminal velocity made me cry laughing in the theatre when I saw it.

Hot Rod got nowhere near the love it deserved when it came out.

I watched the feminist western Forty Guns, what a wonderful film. I have seen like 3 westerns in my life but this year I'm making an effort to watch more Westerns and Noir films. Forty Guns is about 3 brothers who roll into town to serve a warrant but the town is run by Barbara Stanwick and her gang of 40 men . The men get involved with the town when the younger brother of Stanwick shoots the blind sheriff in the leg. I absolutely loved this movie and the shots of the Arizona landscape are beautiful in black and white

Good lord, if you are just getting into westerns now, be prepared for your entire cinematic view to take a hard turn to awesome. By the end of this year I expect you to post a picture of yourself looking like old John Ford.

Just remember, every western cinema trope was originated in Kurosawa Samurai films.

Dumb oldie: If you're after a really stupid, dumb, fun movie: I recommend Deep Blue Sea. We just watched this and it's maybe one of the most hilariously stupid movies I've ever seen where I've been fully entertained the entire time. It's actually got a great cast, and LL Cool J is in it.

If you're after a shark movie with a really deep story, this isn't the one for you. But if you're after something completely ridiculous with Thomas Jane, Stellan Starsgard, Samuel L Jackson and Michael Rappaport, this is the dumb one for you. I really enjoyed it!
