All great choices! (despite the fact that I have probably only seen half of them; strike-through'd is what I haven't seen or might never have mentioned in the first place. All others I second the ballot.)
Hm..I can't think of what I originally thought is my favorite film regarding the setting of a high school.
Oh, just remembered it! (Thank you, Dushku... oh, and for those like SMeth70, it also has Zooey)
- The New Guy (it is undoubtely one of my favorite comedy movies, but that may not be saying much since I don't watch, or like, many comedies at all)
Also, I take some amount of fortuitous pleasure to be the first to say...
Grease (crap, Fremen!)
(and I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see that most of what has been offered, and what will follow, will mostly stem from the 80s and early 90s. I wonder if
Fast Times was among the first to originate this trend, or if it was a product of the trend??)
here's some more I'll be happy to mention, in no particular order:
