Making the Grade

At the suggestion of Dex I finally saw Making the Grade. Reading TOPH should be a prerequisite to watching this movie...it must be watched with a grain of preppy salt.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Hoover Prep school's colors are pink and green! My favorite scene in Making the Grade was Judd Nelson's transformation from badass to prep. I was already a huge fan of Judd Nelson from his roles in The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire so that probably made me like the movie even more. Have you seen Making the Grade?

    It's a fun movie and I agree about taking it with a grain of preppy salt!

    Have you seen Stealing Home? It's one of my favorite "preppy" movies (and it gets bonus points for being set in a fictional Main Line town).

    Have a great day!

    Love Judd Nelson! The Breakfast Club is one of my childhood favorites! Love Story is another one of my favorites!

    LOVED this movie!
    There was supposed to be a sequel too and I don't think it ever happened!

    Whit Stillman flicks are a better rental:
    Metropolitan, Last Days of Disco, Barcelona!

    I don't have to get this on Netflix. I have owned the DVD for years. It is one of those movies that they used to show on TBS at 1:00 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I saw it on there many times. A few years ago, I purchased the DVD. I haven't watched it in a few months. I think I may watch it tonight.

    Ha ha! A great movie! I love that scene, too. "This duck? Preppy. This duck? Not preppy."
