Christina already mentioned this one, Grease nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
All right, number nine.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
See that came out in seventy eight, so I was
seven for probably just turned seven, And I always remember
that because I was the first place I met the
legendary radio man Ron Chapman.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
They had a movie premiere and he was hosting it.
But I kind of liked it.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
My daughter's generation they all love that too, like it's
one of those movies, I guess because it's a musical,
and even for us when it came out, it was
took place in the fifties, so it's like something that
we related to in the seventies. But that movie has persevered.
Man great soundtrack too.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Coming in at number eight. Lisa Frankenstein from twenty twenty four.
No idea.

Speaker 4 (03:45):

Speaker 1 (04:27):
It's really really good, man, It's it's very eighties. Yeah,
you know, it's a you know, it's one of those movies. Uh.
I think probably Chris Columbus wrote it. And I'm blanking
on the guy that did all those John Hughes.

Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
But is that eighty eight? What year to say it
came out?

Uh?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I remember when it came out, seeing it in the theater.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
That scene in the parade where he's that's probably the
first place I remember hearing the Beatles song twist and
shout oh really yeah, And I remember just loving that
and loving him his performance and yeah, send me down.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
A Beatles path. There's two people that KT liked to
tear down in this movie. Matthew Broderick. Yes, he always
points out that he killed someone in Le regularly.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
And then the.

Speaker 3 (05:09):

of all time Fast times at Richmont High nineteen eighty
two undefeated.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
This is coming back to Netflix maybe already maybe already
on there, but yes, I saw that it was a
list of coming back to Netflix. I was like, I
gotta watch that. It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Okay, so a couple things. I mean, I love that movie.
I'll watch it every time it's on. It had it
made me want to go. I mean cause at that time,
eighty two or whenever, it was hard to get vans
in Texas.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Vans were a California thing. But once that.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Movie came out and Spaccoli was wearing vans, everybody wanted vance.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
You mean, I thought you meant like, oh, vans, Yeah.
Why was it hard for van No?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
No, no, the checkered vans. Yes, and they were suddenly everywhere.
And if you could wear vans, you were really cool.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
It was a really cool thing. Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
So I don't know what was in the not in
top twenty, but I gotta think Risky Business is going
to be in the top five.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's gotta be. And I gotta think that what is
the one.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh, I gotta think that sixteen Candles is in the
top five and Super bad.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh yes, super bad.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Hell yes, all right, let's get to the top five
here and coming in at number five Palo Alto from
twenty thirteen.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I don't know what are these movies?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
So suddenly there's like four or five high school movies
that came out in the last two years. There were
some of the best ever ever.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
My kids are still growing up though, so that's a
great point.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I've never heard of it, twenty thirteen, Palo Alto.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Who's in it?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Maybe Emma Roberts. I don't have it on this.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
No, she great, yeah she is. Oh god, you know
what to just remember. That's a great movie, and I
wonder if it's going to be in here. But uh,
the perks of being a wallflower.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, I remember loving the book. I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, the movie's really really good, really good.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Coming in at number four Best high school movies of
all time?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Napoleon Dynamite.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
How did she not guess.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
That I love this movie? I think I told you guys.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
We tried to show it to her kids when they
were like seven and five, and they were like.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What, yeah, man, I found a couple. I was just
reading about that scene right there where they That's just
how that guy talks.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
They were just rolling on him right there. He wasn't acting.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
He was a local guy. He's a local guy and
they were just rolling him. But he was just talking
and eating a sandwiched.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
In the movie.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
And man, John Heater, you know, he was never really
in anything else that I loved his performance, but this
was perfection.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
He was he fet large, come get some dinner.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
He was born to be in this movie. He was
born to be Napoleon Dynamite. The other dude too, Ephrin
Ramirez or whatever, Pedro. Yeah, it was great, and kept
Dynamite was great. Yes, and so the other gal that
was in that movie ended up having a pretty decent career.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
The Love Too.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Number three pest high school movies of all time Donnie
Darko two thousand and one.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Man, they are catering this to me. Outside of all
those movies in the time. I love Donnie Darko and
I watch it pretty much every time it's on.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
I need to go back to that one as well,
because that bunny used to scare the crap rabbit It's
not a bunny. That rabbit, whatever the hell it is,
used to scare the crap out of me. So yeah,
I've seen it in a while.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
And uh, and man, you know who's really good in it,
rest in Peace. We were talking about him earlier, Patrick Swayze.
He plays an unsavory guy, but he's really really good it.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
That brings us to the top two, coming in at
number two from twenty twelve The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I called it it's a great movie, like it is
a great and I didn't read the book. I'm sure
the book is better, but it's one of those movies
where it's like perfectly executed. The acting is great, the
soundtrack's awesome. They have this great scene with one of
my favorite songs, David Bowie's Heroes. It's it's relatable to
that feeling of everyone feeling isolated in high school. It's good, man,

(09:32):
I would recommend it, all right, so risky business, it
has to be all right.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Skins going with the risky business, Christina.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I'll go with superbad still.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay, can Christina? Would you mind giving us a drum roll.

Speaker 2 (09:49):

for a drop. We got a minute the hand, I
got some time, like shoot, I'll just put you on
the spot.

that are happening. All right, that's gonna do it for
us today. I'll never forget the time that KT looked
Pedro dead in his eye before he voted for him
