Underrated Coming Of Age Movie: Three O'clock High


"It looks like it's going to be one of those days." Says Jerry Mitchell, your average 1980's nerd. Today is going to be one of those days when you find your car has a flat tire, you're late for school, your cash register won't open, and you meet a school bully.

Three O'clock High is your classic 1980's high school movie, showing the big hair, colorful clothing, and soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. The movie takes us to the day where Jerry Mitchell (nerd) meets high school bully Buddy Revell.

Throughout this film, Jerry goes to one crazy situation to the next. One of the best scenes of this movie is where Jerry lights up a Marlboro cigarette in his English Class and makes out with his teacher. This film also has one of the best school yard fights you will ever witness.

This is a very classic 80's film that never got any credit. This movie is fall down funny and a must see (remember when a sheet of paper cost a quarter from the bookstore?ahhh, memories)
