It's back to school time, and we are back to our original concept: filling gaps in our film knowledge! For the first time in awhile it's a gap for both of us, the 1975 classic film - Cooley High. Directed by Michael Schulz and written by Eric Monte the ripple effect of this film is endless. As a launchig pad for actors, an inspiration to some of your favorite directors, and the legacy of Eric Monte's influence on television, Cooley High is a special film. Set in Chicago in 1964 we follow two best friends as they navigate skipping class, quarter parties, and living for today. Both a celebration of young adulthood and a heartening tale of the friendships that inspire us, this movie is one that demands rewatches and all the praise that comes with us. Which leads us to:


How could you not think that Cooley High is one of the most influential high school films of all time?
