Prom Films

[moonsi til]

My friend is shopping with her 16 yr for a prom dress so I asked if she had watched Pretty In Pink & she hasn’t it. So I’m looking for essential Prom films to recommend to her please to watch.


A dress has been chosen & will be worn with Converse.

Carrie...?

It has got to be considered Sue

Blockers is a prom film but more for the adults maybe.

Was there a prom bit in Book Smart? I think so and that’s a great film.

Of the teen films that came out when I was at that age:

American Pie has a prom but perhaps not that one on reflection

She’s All That

10 Things I hate about you

 

[Epona]

Carrie...?

That was my first thought.
There are probably other horrors and slasher flicks that involve prom too.
Sorry, I realise that is not what the OP was asking for

 

[Cid]

The 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer film.

Do you want films about prom or just happen to have part of the film in it?

Mean Girls has the Spring fling at the end. I love it.

Surely we ALL love Mean Girls.

Back to the Future and American Pie were the first two that sprang to mind.

I get a bit confused about what Prom is (it didn't exist here when I was the relevant age for it - thank fuck tbh).

But Back to the Future was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, is that the same as Prom?

I think so. But I don’t actually know. I think a prom is a ritual humiliation rite for American teenagers. There are usually bullies.

We had it when I left school in 1995 but we called it the Senior Dance, not prom. It's just the leavers' party.

Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion has a prom in it too.
