Say Anything (1989)

Say Anything (1989) feels less like an 80s teen movie and more like a snapshot of what it means to be young, uncertain, and hopeful. This week, the Schirmer High crew revisits Cameron Crowe’s beloved coming-of-age film that made us all fall for Lloyd Dobler — the guy with the trench coat, the boombox, and a heart too big for his own good.

Kristin, Jeannine, and Carole talk about what makes this movie so timeless, from its honesty about love to its messy family dynamics and unforgettable soundtrack.
