Entertainment Weekly lists it's 50 best High School films. Guess what fantastically popular movie musical was nowhere on the list? Let's start writing letters NOW!
First off, it was not a movie. It was a TV movie so it would not qualify.
Just because it's popular does not make it one of the best.
"I've lost everything! Luis, Marty, my baby with Chris, Chris himself, James. All I ever wanted was love." --Sheridan Crane "Passions"
-------
"Housework is like bad sex. Every time I do it, I swear I'll never do it again til the next time company comes."--"Lulu"
from "Can't Stop The Music"
-----
"When the right doors didn't open for him, he went through the wrong ones" - "Sweet Bird of Youth"

"Passions" is uncancelled! See NBC.com for more info.
I do enjoy High School Musical but I dont think it could be considered to be one of the greatest High School films. There's some tough competition there. I loved reading through that list, so many movies that i completely forgot about.
Again, IT IS NOT A FILM. It is a TV movie and it would not qualify.

OMG! I loved JUST ONE OF THE GUYS as a kid! I'm glad it's on there.
I haven't seen HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. I was initially turned off because A) it's a Disney TV movie and B) the title sounds too generic. However, after all the talk about it on here, I admit I'm more than a little curious now -- just to see what all the hullabaloo is about.

LOL! A film is shown in cinemas/theatres. A TV Movie on the Disney Channel is just a long TV show and is not considered to be a film. Please make a note of it.

It's a lame piece of writing, and the score will be forgotten in six months. The only reason it's lasted this long is because it has the Disney name attached to it, which means it can be blindly merchandized to its target audience of 15 year old girls.
But it's pathetic and dismissable and typical of the too-generic fare that passes for entertainment.
HOLY CRAP! How dare they list Napoleon Dynamite before the teen classic Sixteen Candles?! Rebel Witout a Cause should have been number 1 since it paved the way for teen films and the one that started the trend of teen angst movies!

Jokes aside, "High School Musical" doesn't really fall under a category of 'Best High School Films of All Time.' Regardless of if you enjoyed it or hated it, it doesn't capture the essence of high school as do those other fifty films. Even in a top one hundred, it's simply a film that takes place in high school that barely explores what makes high school... high school. I enjoyed the movie, and while I don't mind people bashing it, I can say without any anger or dislike that it simply doesn't belong, regardless of how horrible it was.
