The sweltering summer of 2010 is coming to a close. Stores are starting to advertise for back-to-school sales, students are finalizing their schedules, and people are saying goodbye to summer camp friends and lazy days at the beach. The end of summer is surely a sad time for many, but also it brings the beginning of the school year. One way to gear yourself up for getting back to hitting the books is by tuning in to satellite tv and watching some classic back-to-school films. Here are a few that top the list.
1. Mean Girls is Tina Fey's, of Saturday Night Live, film debut as a writer and actress. The film also stars Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, as well as features smaller roles from SNL favorites like Amy Poehler and Ana Gasteyer. With Tina Fey behind the writing this film is a cleverly hilarious jaunt through the jungle of high school, with "mean girls" at the top of the food chain. The storyline follow Lohan's character, a new transfer, as she tries to fit into her new school. The popular girl cliques on campus, known as the "plastics," decide to adopt her as one of their own and the drama unfolds from there. It's a must see to poke fun at the social life of high schoolers. This popular film can almost always be found playing on satellite tv channels.
2. American Pie takes a different view of high school with the protagonists being a group of guys navigating through their senior year of high school. The film stars Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Seann William Scott with supporting roles played by Tara Reid, Alyson Hannigan and comedy favorites Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge. For many of the young actors this was the films that broke them into the big screen and fame. The films starts as the guys are ending their summer and decide to make a pact to lose their virginity before the end of senior year. Some fall in love, some in lust, and some find a completely different focus. The movie takes you on a ride that is unafraid to make fun of all the awkwardness of high school and bring out some real heartfelt sentiment about the end of this chapter of life. Check your satellite tv listings to tune into the race to graduation.
3. Can't Hardly Wait is another film that makes high school both a comical series of awkward mishaps with an underlying story that leaves the viewer feeling nostalgic for that time. The film stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ethan Embry, Lauren Ambrose, Seth Green and Sean Patrick Thomas. The plot follows the ensemble cast through the end of their senior year leading up to the big graduation party. Everyone has their own agenda for the night, the main character attempting to tell the girl he's had a crush on for all four years about his feelings, another to get revenge on the school jock who bullied him, and a third unlikely couple that emerges. It's a light romp through the pitfalls and highlights of high school and a realistic story of that asks the "what if" questions and lets the characters answer them on screen. It has been recently remastered for HD, so look for this version in your satellite tv listings.
So if you have the back-to-school blues turn them around by tuning into these great movies all offered on satellite tv and get yourself in gear as September approaches!
