Best Movies to Get You Into the Prom Spirit

Prom season is upon us and while some are thrilled about the idea, there are others who wish prom would just come and go already. Whether you are shopping for dresses with your girlfriends or planning up how you will ask that special someone, a good prom movie can get you ready for the big night. No matter what kind of prom-goer you are, there's a movie for you that can help get you into the spirit.

"Never Been Kissed"
For the prom-goer thinking of skipping out this year, there's "Never Been Kissed." The storyline focuses on a young copy editor who returns to school to do a report on what cool high school students are doing. What would she know about that, right? "Josie Grossie" gets her second chance when she has to go undercover herself and be a highschooler one more time. The plot has a second mini-story to it as her brother (can we say slacker?) goes back too in order to find his own second chance. Don't let this be you. Watch the movie, and then go find a prom date!

"Pretty in Pink"
Where would a prom movie list be without the classic high school movie "Pretty in Pink?" This is '80s movies at their best. It's a bittersweet love story about two very different teenagers overcoming class obstacles and forming a relationship against all odds. It has comedy, romance, and big '80s hair. No prom is complete without a pre-screening of "Pretty in Pink" to get you in the spirit.

"Napoleon Dynamite"
Whether you're that weird kid, friends with the weird kid, or just want to see how he's going to dance at prom, you must go in order to see your own resident Napoleon Dynamite strut his stuff. Preempt the night with a viewing of the silly and hilarious "Napoleon Dynamite" and you'll be geared up and ready to dance at your own prom. It has all the challenges that teens face but done in a sort of stupid humor that you can't help but grin at.

"Carrie"
For the prom-goer who has the snottiest prom queen possible, "Carrie" will give you a giggle. On the big night, when she smiles with those big annoyingly perfect teeth as she is crowned, just think of what Carrie might do. In this classic high school/prom movie, a young girl is tormented by her classmates then embarrassed and humiliated on her big night but she gets her revenge. Using telekinetic vengeance to wreak havoc, she gave her tormentors a night they'll never forget.
