I need movies from 1999 to 2010 that feature prom scenes.

July 25, 2010 2:07 PM

I'm looking for movies that feature a prom scene, but only from 2000 to 2010. (I've already got a huge list of prom movies from 1950 to 1999, so I don't need any from that period.) I am organizing a prom, and wanted to show a compilation montage of prom scenes. Thanks in advance!

IMDB search for "Prom". Organizing it by date does it previous-date-first, unfortunately, and I can't figure out how to do it backwards. You can narrow down by genre on the righthand column, though. Drama, Romance and Comedy have quite a few apiece.

Response by poster: Griphus - whoa, I didn't know you could do that with imdb. I thought I could only find movies with Prom in the title.

It's a keyword search, Sully. It's sort of roundabout to get into it. The easiest way I've found is to look up a movie with the keyword you want (e.g. for "prom" I used "Carrie") get into its entry, hit "see more" next to the "Plot Keywords" section (it'll have a spoiler warning over it,) and find/click on the keyword in there. That'll make sure you're using a keyword IMDB recognizes. An easier but riskier method is just sticking any word/phrase into the end of "http://www.imdb.com/keyword/" That won't guarantee you're using a widely-used or valid keyword, however.

Your title includes 1999, so I'm going to toss out "10 Things I Hate About You" - one of my favorites.

Twilight, though it pains me to say it.

"napoleon dynamite" had a prom IIRC...

It's not a movie, but Clone High has two whole episodes about Prom at the end of its first and only season.

_{also, it's a terrific show that everyone should watch. Of all the "brilliant-but-cancelled" shows I've seen, it's the most brilliant. And tied for the most cancelled.}

She's All That from 1999, one of my favourite "let's take her glasses off and pull her hair out of a ponytail and VOILA! prom queen!" films

Not sure if it counts or not, since your title says 1999 and your question 2000, but American Pie largely centers around a prom. (But is from 1999.)

Buffy's prom, in season 3 of the TV show, aired in 1999...

Also, while griphus' IMDB link lists Juno, I'm pretty sure that they never actually show the prom itself.

Also:
Sky High (2005)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) (the big three schools dance is kind of a prom, no?)
