I just watched The dangerous Lives of Altar Boys and loved it, I'm gonna have to watch it again right away, and maybe check out the book. But well I'm lookign for similar stories of youth getting into trouble, I like that sort of story. Something like this, sleepers and the good son. ANy suggestions?

Stand By Me. It is based on Stephen King's, The Body. I suggest renting it because the made for t.v. version is "lacking."

I don't know if you're only looking for movies, but my favorite book of all time is Youth In Revolt by C.D. Payne. It's definately about mischievous youth.
A few movies are:
Igby Goes Down (which Kieran Culkin is also in!)
Lords of Dogtown (Emile is in this one.)
Empire Records
SLC Punk
Detriot Rock City
Not all of those are exactly the same kind of mischeif as Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, but they're all good!
Try 'Mean Creek'. A bunch of teenagers get more than they bargained for on a river trip. Excellent movie, highly recommended.

joe the king is an awesome movie, i cant believe i forgot about it!!
drug free is the way too be!
try Chumscrubber. It's similar to The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys except with a video game parallel rather than a comic book one.
shareWhat about "Heaven Help Us"? It was an excellent movie, probably my favorite Catholic School movie ever.
