10. Election (1999)

Before Reese Witherspoon became famous as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, she had made her mark as the ambitious Tracy in Election, who wants to become the class president. The black comedy based on a novel by Tom Perrotta is a satire on politics and high school life, and features Matthew Broderick as a teacher who dislikes Tracy and tries to derail her campaign. Class presidency elections are a hectic time in high school and the movie brings back memories.
