This cult classic is one long series of prom scenes, basically. I mean, they just wanted John Travolta to dance, and honestly? Fine! The whole thing doesn’t really have any effect on the overall story besides driving Sandy and Danny apart for a bit and getting the characters to dress up, but it’s still really good. The whole thing is basically a dance off, and it’s kind of … hot? There is also the hand jive. But it clearly takes place in the spring, so I’m treating it as a prom. The National Bandstand dance isn’t exactly a prom. The production quality is bad, and I can’t tell if it’s just because the movie is bad or because this prom was put together by the least creative student council in film history. But this prom scene cannot leave my thoughts because it features an excruciating cover of “Don’t You Forget About Me” and a kissing booth.
So why is it on this list? Because I think about this movie a lot, and have watched it many, many times. To this day, I have not found out if one of his guy friends paid him to do this, but I wouldn’t be surprised. And I didn’t attend senior prom because all of the guys in my class threatened to pour pig’s blood on me if I did because, you know, my name is Carrie.Īnyway, I am an expert on movie proms because my experience would make a good movie prom scene, so these are the best ones, from Twilight to Lady Bird. And that my Latin teacher, who was a chaperone, was shocked to find out that I managed to find a date.
All I remember is that another girl was wearing the same dress from David’s Bridal, it was too hot so I wanted to leave early, and my date made me watch Saw 2 after because all of the parties got busted by cops. I only attended my junior prom, and I don’t remember what the theme was. And there are some prom scenes that are good because they mean something for the characters and the set actually looks like a terribly decorated high-school gym and not a country club that a public high school in America can’t afford to rent. But it’s not! Then again, not all movie prom scenes are created equal: There are some that are so good because of how bad they are, like the kinds with a cheesy speech delivered by someone in their mid-20s pretending to be a 17-year-old but not pulling it off. Most teens are conditioned to think that prom is the most important event of their lives because that’s what they say in the movies.
