Heathers
Directed by Michael Lehmann
Westerburg High School's elite clique of popular girls is "The Heathers," comprised of the powerful Heather Chandler, the green-with-envy Heather Duke, and the cowardly Heather McNamara. Rounding out the foursome is Veronica Sawyer, who is so fed up with the Heathers and the entire peer pressure cooker that she starts running with J.D., a mysterious - and possibly psychotic - motorcycle-riding newcomer. But what begins as their noble effort to rid Westerburg of its bad apples ends up taking a real toll. And their teen rebellion produces a serious and mounting body count. Starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty.
Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty star in this cruelly hilarious dark comedy, which became one of the biggest cult classics of the `80s.

Kids, take the word of anyone who was your age when this one came out...it's a classic for a reason.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I don't consider it a "horror" movie. It's definitely more of a black comedy. However, I think movie fans with an inclination for horror will enjoy it. There's definitely plenty of killing in the movie.
Not exactly a horror film, but fits nicely in the cult classic category. The subject material is not horrifying, but dark to say the least. It is very original, and holds up for me. Loads of classic one-liners and wild storytelling to boot.
I love this movie no doubt, its one of the greats of its time, but how is this a horror film?
one of my all time favorite movies. i wrote a five page essay on this for class. just watch, it's well worth it!
