Whether high school or college, it set the stage for these memorable movies.

Not in any particulare order:

Back to School (1986): Rodney Dangerfield's funniest movie as he enroll in college with a dean named Martin which Rodeny kept calling dean Martin. Great supporting cast.

National Lampoon's Animal House (1978): Although slightly dated, it launched the career of John Belushi, Karen Allen, Tom Hulce, and Kevin Bacon.

Thanks Hify and Worf for input :)

I am guessing Hoosier can also be on this list as it is in the same caliber as Breaking Away. Although most of drama happen on basketball court, Gene Hackman give an excellent performance as high school coach, and Dennis Hopper as town drunk and assistant coach.

IA couple of more I actually liked were...

"The Lords of Discipline"

"School Ties"

"A Yank at Oxford"

And a few more that escape my mind right now.

"Dazed and Confused" would be close to if not at the top of my list. But because it begins with the school year winding down before summer, I can see why it might not qualify.
