The summer is almost over and in less than a month you'll be sitting in your first class of the school year - yeah, bummer right? If you can't get your mind off the beach, summer bonfires or a summer crush then try watching some movies. TeenMag picked out five must-watch movies to get you in Back-to-School mood so you'll be ready for school in no time.
Mean Girls: What better way to get ready for the catty girl clicks, back-to-school gear and crushes than the new classic Mean Girls? When home-schooled Cady Heron becomes the new girl at North Shore High School and encounters The Plastics - the most elite, "popular" social set of the school - her world changes. With scores of SNL comedians (Tina Fey), talented actors (Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams), and history-making one-liners ("She doesn't even go here!"), Mean Girls is a great choice to get you revved up for the big first day back.
Clueless: Experience the ultimate Beverly Hills high school experience (popular clicks, hot guys, sunshine and all!) in a little over an hour. This classic '90s film might be something you have read in for one of your English classes because its based off of the 1816 novel Emma by Jane Austen with little more edge. Follow Cher (Alicia Silverstone) as she tries to get her license, finds a crush and gets into a little trouble with her friends (of course she does it all in her best outfits)!
Legally Blonde: Get back into study-mode with this fun and super-cute movie. Reese Witherspoon stars as Elle Woods, an all-pink-clad sorority president who lives for a goodtime. When her boyfriend Warner dumps her as he moves on to Harvard Law School, Elle finds herself chasing after him to prove that she isn't just a dumb blonde. Elle learns that with hard work and the right attitude, anything is possible. A must-see to get yourself prepared for your most ballsy school year yet!
The Breakfast Club: Dubbed as the best portrayal of adolescent life, this '80s flick that is not to be missed. Five students are forced together during Saturday detention (ugh!) and 1,000-word, self-reflective essays (double ugh!) in the school library. They each hail from different stereotypical cliques of school life: the brain, the athlete, the princess, the criminal, and the "basket case" but ultimately realize they have a lot more in common than they ever would have thought. It will give you the guts to branch out in your social circle this year.
10 Things I Hate About You: Inspired by another book that might be assigned by your English teacher, Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, this 90s flick shows you just how much one guy will work to date the girl of his dreams. It stars a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars and Heath Ledger in his breakthrough role. Be sure to watch this for the confidence to go after that cute guy - and to have fun doing it!
