I still remember the first time I watch most of these movies. I was young, naive, and truly believed Austin Ames had no idea it was Sam Montgomery behind her mask. These timeless motion pictures proved to us the art geek can end up with the prom king, introduced us to Adrian Grenier, and used a pair of Skechers and a Prada backpack to differentiate "like" and "love".

Another thing these movies gave us were some ~totally rad~ tunes. You can rock to these songs any time you want and instantly feel like you're Laney Boggs, Annette Hargrove, or Katarina Stratford.

Life can't be like the movies, but it sure can sound like them. It's time for you to put on your circle scarf, fasten your Von Dutch trucker hat, lace up your Skechers & check the time on your big faced digital watch because we're taking it back to a much ~cooler~ time.
