I mean, wouldn't you have kind of killed to see all that at your prom? Those popular kids are going down! - The Weirdgirlġ0 Things I Love About 10 Things I Hate About You: Besides that, at this prom you've got a queen bee in traction, the prom queen in a mathlete jacket, some gender-bending in purple tuxes (was that a shout-out to Angus from Tiny Fey?), and a torn-apart tiara. But Mean Girls goes to such depths of delicious vindictiveness for the majority of the film, dosed with well-placed pinches of outrageousness ("Made out with a hot dog!"), that it balances the standard sweetness of Cady's speech. This is pretty standard teen movie fare, even possibly a bit ho-hum. The Spring Fling Prom is the culminating scene in which the main character, Cady, has a revelation about how you treat people and gives a stirring speech about how everyone is wonderful in their own way. If this movie wasn't so wickedly clever at poking holes into every cliche girl clique out there, complete with back stabbing, jungle metaphors, and finally destroying the queen bee herself (wish fulfillment at its finest for every poor chump who's ever been the victim of a nasty rumor, much less a Burn Book), the prom scene at the end simply wouldn't work. And then there are movies that make the prom scene. Hell, there are prom scenes that make the whole movie. There are prom scenes that can stand on their own. For this week's Ranked!, we decided to rank our twenty favorite movie prom scenes.
