Clueless is better than Mean Girls

[grecian]

Discuss and yes I am very drunk.......

 

[Magrat Garlick]

watching Mean Girls with a drunk grecian sounds like a thing to put on the bucket list

Was there ever any question of Mean Girls being the better film?

I think some young people (I know we should ignore them) do feel it's better, it's something that I feel should be put down ruthlessly, and we must not be complacent on this issue, it's probably how Hitler started or summat....

I for one really enjoy Clueless, if you're just like me you'll agree.

Should have just made a poll about whether you were born in the 80's or 90's.

 

[Bahnz]

Nah, Clueless was the film most responsible for starting that horrendous late 90's craze for turning works of classic literature into high school rom coms. Mean Girls all the way.

70s for me and probably Heath, but I get your point. I found 80s films dreck at the time and still do, Breakfast Club is just miserable, never got it then and now. Heathers was good, but different, the comedy film I loved which is infinitly better then both films in the title was Gregory's Girl, but not really comparable, as different country and all that.

Nah that was epic, and much better than any other of these type of trends.

Proof TBH.

I like both movies. I have seen clueless at least ten times, and mean girls 3 times.

I very much like the Calculas in mean girls.

Well vote for the Ollie Watkins option then, not like I designed this thread for that or owt.

I learnt how to speak Italian from Gregory's Girl. Which is why no Italian can understand a word I say.

As for 80s films, I did enjoy WarGames, The Last Starfighter, Stand by Me and... perhaps that's about it for 'teen films'. Weird Science was abysmal, Mannequin was worse.

More like 70s/80s I'd think. Never seen either

Thanks. I didn't know which one the irrelevant option was.

He will always be the only relevant option, one of our own.

What would be your generations equivalent, that film with Anna Kendrick I can't remember the name of?

Just posted one a whim, I was born in '86 and firmly considered myself a part of the Clueless generation but don't really care either way, the point is still made.

Alternative theory. You haven't seen either because you're a boring ****?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not seen either so no idea. Would never entertain the thought of watching either film.

As DCYE helpfully points out above I'm not a high school romcom connoisseur. I think by the time I was a teenager the young adult deluge killed the genre

 

[silentstriker]

Mean girls was based on my high school, which Tina Fey attended as well. When I went there, it wasn't anything like the movie.

Or, more likely, I was so far away from the popular cliques and into my nerd group of friends, that I didn't even notice.


That is to say, I have to say mean girls is better.



In reality, clueless was better.
