Greatest High School Movies of the 80s of All Time - Say Anything… (1989) or Footloose (1984)

Who knew a battle over high school angst could evoke such passion? Between the small-town dance rebellion of 'Footloose' and the heartfelt boombox serenade of 'Say Anything...', we're not just deciding on films; we're championing the essence of 1980s teen spirit. 'Footloose' pulses with energy, challenging authoritarian constraints with every step Kevin Bacon takes, while 'Say Anything...' presents a quieter, yet profoundly resonant, stand against societal expectations through John Cusack’s iconic trench coat and raised boombox. This isn’t just about which film made better use of their soundtrack; it's a duel over which vibe truly encapsulates the era’s rebellious youth. Will you endorse the joyous freedom of dance or the depth of a first love standing defiantly outside societal norms?
