Detention (2011)
The school: Grizzly Lake High School. Its mascot is a stuffed bear, which has pride of place in the🃏 hall.
The staff: Princi𓄧pal Verge (Dane Cook), himself a former Grizzly Lake student.
The students: Outcast Riley (Shanley Caswell), hipster Clapton Davis (Josh Hutchers꧋on), cheerleader Ione (Spencer Locke), and various other heighte♏ned high school archetypes.
What weve learned: Tꦇime travel is creepy, the 90s were great, and Clapton Davis dont dance.
The Breakfast Club (1985)
The school: Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois.
The staff: The only one around toꩵ supervise a Satu⭕rday detention is angry vice principal Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason).
The students: Again, all stereotypes are present and correct: theres athletic Andy (Emilio Estevez), nerdy Brian (Anthony Michael Hall), delinquent Bender (Judd Nelson), popular Claire (Molly Ringwal▨d), and outcast Allison (Ally Sheedy).
What weve learned: Each one of us is a brain, and an 𝓡athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Though some of us more than others.
Clueless (1995)
The school: Bronson Alcott High School, in Beverly Hills.
The staff: Mr Hall (Wallace Shawn) and Ms Geist (Twin Caplan), teachers whose grading curve can be skewed ꦫby some well-meaning romantic advice.
The students: Ultimate Valley Girl Cher (Alicia Si🍨lverstone), her BFF Dionne (Stacey Dash) and arch enemy Amber (Elisa Donovan), plus new girl Tai (Brittany Murphy)ꦐ and super cool Christian (Justin Walker).
What weve learned: Jane Austen knew the score, and not much h🌜as changed since the 1800s.
Mean Girls (2004)
The school: Norꦛth Shore High School, a typical American high school that comes with all the unspoken rules and regulations youd expect total gibberish to homeschooled new girl Cady (Lindsay Lohan).
The staff: Maths teacher Ms Nor✱bury (Tina Fey) takes a particular interest in Cady while Principal Duvall (Tim Meadows) takes a particular interest in her.
The students: Cadys torn between two factions: the Plastics, led by head mean girl Regina George (Rachel McAdams), and the cool kids, Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese). Though maybe where she really belongs is🐼 with the Mathletes, Kevin (Rajiv Surendra) and Tim (Wai Choy).
What weve learned: Weve all been personally victimised byꦚ Regina George, somꦰewhere along the line.
