Movies like Heathers


I'm trying to think of movies which give me some kind of Heathers vibe. It's a very quirky and original movie in its general feel and dialog. I'm not talking in plot or storyline, but in general feel and dialog style etc....

Can you think of any ?

Mean Girls reminds me of Heathers without a body count.

Check out Jawbreaker, it's a similar premise and also a black comedy. Can't remember tons of the dialogue but it might have the same vibe you're looking for.

Coincidentally, I love all the movies listed above. You might also want to check out Cruel Intentions, Party Monster, Drugstore Cowboy, and River's Edge. River's Edge had a "cult" following when I was younger. It's a really good drama about teens dealing with the murder of a friend at the hands of another friend. It has a really cool 80s vibe, and features soon-to-be-stars Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye, and Crispin Glover, as well as Dennis Hopper.

Check out " Freeway" with Reese Witherspoon.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

Heathers actually reminds me of Fight Club. Both are dark social satires with over-the-top plots that don't make sense unless you understand you are watching a comedy. Like Tyler, J.D. even seems to act as a symbolic aspect of Veronica's personality, her id. Veronica and Jack never appear to pay for their crimes. With their id characters conquered, they get happy resolutions.

"Pumpkin" (2002) with Christina Ricci.

No movie will ever be like Heathers, but there's some good one's that might feel similar.
