25 best school movies ever

Carrie (1976)

Carrie is the mother of all teen horror movies and remains one of the best film adaptations of a Stephen King novel.

Timid social outcast Carrie is tormeneted by the cool kids – not surprisingly, given that her mum's the local loon and she doesn't wear cool clothes. But the bullies are given an object lesson in morality after they pull a cruel stunt at the prom – learning that Carrie is not the kind of chick you want to mess with, in an infamous blood-drenched scene.
