This exposé of American high school life may seem tame by today's standards, but Cameron Crowe's script has stood the test of time, packed with witty lines and wry observations about high school life.

It's a must-see for anyone wanting to see where Crowe and a whole host of future A-listers, including director Amy Heckerling, Nicolas Cage, Forest Whitaker and scene-stealing stoner Sean Penn, started out. But this isn't just a before-they-were-famous style cringe-fest; all turn in the sort of performances that demonstrate exactly why they went on to successful careers in Hollywood.
