25 best school movies ever

Election (1999)

Mathew Broderick stars in this novel adaptation which centres around a high school election as a teacher who tries to sabotage a vindictive student's campaign.

It's easy enough to hate Reese Witherspoon's character and you'll want her to lose as much as Broderick does – especially after she gets his buddy fired for having an affair. Not your ordinary house of learning then.
