Wet Hot American Summer would probably fit as a finale in that trilogy. Yes there is crassness and the nostalgia isnt taken as seriously, but I think it can fit well here.

Or if you want something more serious, Middle School, 8th Grade, or Ladybird might pair well

EIGHTH GRADE!!!
Yes, thatâs the one.
The trilogy of adolescence: Almost Famous | Adventureland | Eighth Grade
Wet Hot American Summer is close, but itâs just a little too perverse lol. One of my favorites otherwise.

OK, anything else new/good on Shudder these days ?
So she likes edgy, pretty boys with punchable faces?
Real happy with how this turned out 
It started as brief introduction to my high school Highlander short film and ended up being a video essay memory of the friend who co-starred with me way back when we were teenagers. I tried to reconnect with him but discovered he had passed away in recent years, so I am really happy with how this goes beyond talking about the topic and instead goes into memoir territory to honor the memory of my friend.
I couldnât even immediately place who Robert Pattinson was. As I read these posts, I thought, âI bet Iâll recognize him and will be able to understand why heâs attactive.â
5 seconds of Google later, âOh God, itâs THAT fucking guy? Ugh.â I join the others in supporting spidercrabâs revulsion.
I donât get the Pattinson hate. Thought he was good in The Batman and The Lighthouse? Straight-up best Batman since Conroy.

Idk about that, but I liked it. He wasnât some playboy getting models, but a loser and a loner.
Heâs all right in my book
No, Affleck. Note I am not defending the movies but the actor as the character was money for me.
Iâm sitting through St. Elmoâs Fire now. The Rewatchables guys better do nothing but make fun of this movie or Iâm gonna be pissed.
Did no one know what stalking was in the 80s? I was there and Iâm pretty sure we did. Emilio Estevez is literally a psychotic dangerous stalker.
Maybe thatâs why my friend went off the deep end and stalked his ex (who ended up dating pretty much everyone in our group of friends), doing stuff like breaking into her car and leaving a black rose on the seat. He watched too many movies like this and Say Anything.
And Mare Winningham doesnât feel right about driving a car like a (checks notes) Chrysler LeBaron, while working is social service.
Literally no one in this movie is a remotely hinged person. Almost all of them are terrible people.
Me and my friends were pretty much vapid, aimless, drug-addled losers in our early 20s. And yet we were still far more interesting, deeper, more thoughtful people than these bozos.

But were you all as good-looking as they were?
It is time for you to finally be ushered into the halls of mystery, where we keep the secret origins of Iron Man.
