classic, perfect performances, iconic music

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2018)

Okay, so obviously this is a classic, but I wish I had seen it earlier - it's one of those classic that everyone assumes you've already seen, and/or don't want to watch again. That said, I think it only gets better as you rewatch it. It's an amazing film, even without a multitude of sets, costumes, or special features. It's huge in character development and the actors perform impeccably. This film explores and expands a few of the stereotypes of high school students, giving them depth, complexity and multi-dimensional personalities. It's both serious and funny, which is a difficult achievement. Finally, needless to say, the music selection is absolutely perfect.
