Whether your child or children are of elementary, middle school, high school or college age, “Back to School” season can be pretty stressful. Why not kick back, relax and watch one of these seven film classics?

The Breakfast Club

A classic, and a great reminder that we’re all a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Another gem from the late, great John Hughes. Plus, even as an adult, who doesn’t still want to ditch work on a beautiful day?

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Growing up is hard, and if you have a child in high school, think of Fast Times at Ridgemont High as a reminder of what they could be going through. After all, your baby isn’t really a baby anymore.

Election

Everyone knew a Tracy Flick. If you didn’t, then you were her.

Back To School

Can you really celebrate “Back To School” season without watching this Rodney Dangerfield classic? We still are in awe of the Triple Lindy AND how Thornton Melon was able to get Oingo Boingo to play his dorm party!

Just One Of The Guys

Cheesy? Yes, but you gotta love how the pretty/smart girl decides to don drag to prove some sexist teachers wrong.

Rock N’ Roll High School

Campy as all get out, Rock N’ Roll High School will remind you of when you were hopelessly obsessed with music, just like Riff Randell.

Favorite part about "Back To School" time for blogger Erica Banas?  All the killer clothing sales for her ever-growing teenage stepson ...and maybe she picks up something for herself, too!

Erica Banas is a news blogger who's been covering the rock/classic rock world since 2014. The coolest event she's ever covered in person was the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. (Sir Paul McCartney inducting Foo Fighters? C'mon now!) She's also well-versed in etiquette and extraordinarily nice. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
