Teen Wolf
The 1985 Teen Wolf is still a must-watch in 2024 and even beyond, and it’s no surprise at all. Although the name doesn’t scream ‘Prom’, there’s a big high school dance that’s the highlight of the movie, which showcases how prom looked like in the 80s. Of course, the wolf theme makes it all the more interesting as the protagonist makes it to prom in his wolf form. Fun right?
Back to the Future
The 80s sure cared about prom, because this movie is centered completely around prom. Marty McFly goes back in time to his parent's prom in high school on a self-saving mission to ensure that his parents’ relationship is fixed so he can be born.
Well, this movie is about prom, but about several other things too, because rock and roll was ‘invented’ by Marty along the line. With a unique prom theme centered around under-sea enchantment, you have something unique to look forward to.
