Heathers

Due to it's nature of dealing with teenage suicide and overall murder, hormones and mayhem, this wonderful jewel of a flick from Michael Lehmann is a must see for the teen angst ridden crew of this or any future generation. The title comes from a group of "in-girls" all who share the name Heather and how they make life a living hell for the other girls in the school around them. The lovely Winona Ryderm, though not a Heather is in with the group. When she meet a psychotic James Dean (played by Christian Slater at the very top of his trampoline act) type the whole fabric of the high school begins to unravel and as Ryder's character observes "my teenage angst now has a body count". Dark humor at it's finest look for a bit role filled by Glenn Shadix as Father Ripper and prepare to howl your head off at the joy of being a teen again. GREASE this ain't and you can sure as hell see where MEAN GIRLS stole their chops!
