From the lovelorn to the revenge-seekers, every character is desperate to make this one night count.
So, put on your letterman jackets, grab your yearbooks, and let’s talk about the timeless themes these films capture: the fear of the future, the nostalgia for the past, and the intense desire to leave a mark before the final bell rings.
