Well it’s that time of year and with all the talk of prom and graduation I was thinking about my top prom movies/shows (because number one actually is a show!) and how frankly it’s always so much more fun in movies and on television.
#3 Carrie
I mean this is probably the iconic prom movie almost always mentioned in any other movie after involving a prom even as a throw away joke. It’s number 3 for me because at this point everyone knows what’s coming and while it was a prom shit show of revenge even long ago when I first saw the 76 film and read the book the scariest part by far was her mother.
#2 Never Been Kissed
Never Been Kissed has to have one of the most relatable main characters of the late 90s. And as far as proms first we get the cringe worthy flashback and then we get current times when she’s cool and has the hot teacher (let’s just leave out the fact he thought she was 17) and Josie has to face while she’s changed the high school cliques don’t.
#1 Buffy the Vampire Slayer The Prom
Well this was supposed to be my favorite movie proms but when it came right down to it nothing could beat this scene. Not only was it a really nice well deserved moment for Buffy but it answered the question that no, the students were not oblivious to the things going on in their high school.
It was also a nice moment with Angel and even though it wasn’t the finale at that point felt like a nice wrap-up to high school.
Loved the Buffy prom. I still remember it well ❤️
That scene from Buffy still gets me after all these years.
I was hoping you would have Buffy which is my favorite of all time!!!!! Great list! I just re-watched She’s All That and love the prom in that one too.
I don’t think I saw She’s All that although I the prom scene from 10 Things I Hate about You was close on this list 🙂
Oh I lpve Buffy – great choice! Also, I agree with the comment above me – She’s All That has a great prom scene as well!
I’m going to have to watch that!
I think Carrie is at the top of my list. I don’t recall the Buffy scene, unfortunately. And I must admit when the words ‘class protector’ were uttered, I involuntarily cringed. 😁
