Another Fan Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The other thread about high school made me think of this movie. While it wasn’t I think about high school life per se, it was very popular among kids I went too school with. I still never watched it but I know to many kids of the 90s that movie hit as being very real. Quote

teef Posted July 2 Posted July 2 i remember seeing this movie. i was a high school senior in 95, so it was about the same generation. we had to go to the little theater, (the smaller, artsy theater) because it wasn't mainstream enough for the bigger theaters. i did like the movie, but all i remember thinking was how ***** bad these kids were. i get being raised in a city must have its pitfalls, but get your ***** together.

I forgot about this movie. I was in high school from 84-88 and saw kids like this in the suburbs of Richmond, VA. 1 Quote
stevestojan Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The skateboarding scene sticks with ya. But then there’s the last 10–15 minutes that are just horrifying. 3 Quote

Watch "Thirteen", then you'll never want to have kids. Quote
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Great movie. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended though. I recall when this came out hearing that many of the actors were also professional skateboarders. Not sure if true. The final scene with Casper and Jennie is tough to watch. 😬 2 Quote

Pecos Bills Posted July 3 Posted July 3 I was in HS when this came out: not sure if I have ever hated any movie more. 1 Quote

DrDawkinstein Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Kids is a classic, especially for all us 90s kids. Harmony Korine is something else alright. Not even sure what to say about the guy because I can appreciate a lot of his work (movies and books), but then he has this side which is so ***** up beyond acceptable. One of the only people ever kicked off and banned from Letterman's show. His movie Gummo is a great step in an even more messed up direction than Kids. Focusing on the (fictional) salt of the earth folk who live in rural Ohio. Hoo-wee... Quote
DD4Bills Posted July 5 Posted July 5 In many ways, Euphoria (HBO or Max or whatever) is the modern day Kids. Lets take every bad impulse that any teen may have ever had and have them all manifested in a small group of kids with zero competent parental figures. Quote
TheCockSportif Posted July 5 Posted July 5 The movie is probably top 3 disturbing -- that i've ever seen. The soundtrack is sublime, however. Quote
