Razor-sharp rom-com, putting a contemporary slant on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew". Probably the best of the recnt re-worked classics, the action kicks off in a Seattle high school, where new boy Cameron has fallen head over heels for the lovely Bianca. But there's one very big fly in the ointment - Bianca's big sister, surly rebel-without-a-clue Kat, who hates everything and everyone, particularly if they're male. To keep the peace, the girls' parents have decreed that Bianca can't st

AMERICAN PIE (1999)
Certification15 Our Rating
Unashamedly unsophisticated coming-of-age comedy with a barrage of bodily-embarrassment jokes. Four high school friends, already battling raging testosterone levels, are outraged and awestruck when a smug classmate gets lucky with a real live girl. Making a pact, the four vow to lose their virginity by prom night, no mean feat given the guys' spectacular lack of familiarity with charm, finesse and the workings of the human body. So, a simple plot, splendidly executed by the largely unknown youn

BETTER OFF DEAD (1987)
Certification15 Our Rating
The repetitive use of gags that gradually become more and more over the top and an indefinable surreal quality help make this movie one of the funniest and most original for years - and it's an American teen comedy too!!! If you have not seen it yet watch and let your mates know about it.

CLUELESS (1995)
Certification12 Our Rating
Based on Jane Austen's Emma, but set in Beverly Hills and updated to include such essentials as mobile phones, plastic surgeons and endless shopping. 15-years-old Cher is gorgeous, popular, rich and utterly clueless. A brilliant mixture of high school satire and feel-good froth.

FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982)
Certification18 Our Rating
The film follows a group of high school students growing up in southern California and is supposedly based on the real-life adventures of Cameron Crowe. They hang out in malls, listen to rock'n'roll and hunt for sex like any normal teen slackers. The centre of the film is held by Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer dude, who faces off with the resolute Mr Hand, a man convinced that everyone is on dope. A superior teen comedy about a bunch of kids facing the hassles of growing up dealing wi

GREASE (1978)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A high school musical which ripped off everything it could from the 1950s. At the time it was slated, but, in retrospect, it started a trend and is nowhere near as bad as some of the movies which followed it. In fact, one could go as far as to say it's now a bit of a classic...
