Now that graduation is here, it’s the perfect time revisit your teenage years by counting down the 10 best high school movies of all-time.

There’s no shortage of terrific films to choose from, and many that didn’t make the list could easily replace several that did (“Just One of the Guys,” “Rushmore,” “Election,” or “The Breakfast Club” to name a few).
