Varsity Blues was on HBO today, and like always, it got me really excited about our class reunion (geeky I know, don't hate). I have a few movies that routinely get me nostalgic and it inspired me to make a few lists to help get the rest of the class excited too. Please feel free to shoot me over some other titles and I will gladly update the lists. Enjoy!
