so every cartoon and series that had an episode about a school bully wanting a fight after school was paying homage/ ripping off this movie?...Good to know - @Tuesday, May 26, 2015 11:03 PM

I enjoyed this movie much more than the slightly cloying _Ferris Bueller's Day Off_ which was released not too far away from the opening of this movie. The character Buddy Revelle is a classic high school bully straight out of a Stephen King Horror Novel. Scary. - @Saturday, May 9, 2015 11:43 PM

Excellent, and under rated, but gotta go with "The Breakfast Club" as the #1 80's teen movie. There's a teen movie from the last 10 yrs or so called "Sev Drive" that is the only thing I've seen recently that compares with those movies. - @Saturday, December 10, 2011 7:10 PM

@Rdcoaxum, I agree!! IMDb said Steven Spielberg was one of the executive producers of "Three O'Clock High" but asked to have his name removed from the credits!! It's no wonder the film is excellent!! - @Sunday, August 14, 2011 11:27 AM
