The only date I've got is a wonderful rewatch session of some of the best high school movies of all time: She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, Mean Girls, It's a Boy Girl Thing, and even the not-so-classic Spider-Man: Homecoming. All of these have a couple of things in common: they make me smile when I think of them, and they have an iconic school dance final scene. Well, Spider-Man might not exactly belong on the list, but it is a great movie regardless.
By the end of the film, everything is at stake in the final seconds of the Homecoming match. The clock is ticking, and the main character's team is most likely losing. Suddenly, defying all odds, by the powers of destiny and friendship, the hero of the story manages a brilliant touchdown that gives the star team the win they needed. At that moment, just as we are celebrating the skilful last-minute play made by the very cool main character, they run off the court. That's when we get the most memorable romantic scene, in which the main love interest delivers a top-notch heartfelt speech while also asking for forgiveness for something crazy they did beforehand. The mood is perfect: dim lights, night sky, and sometimes we even get a little drizzle. Then, the final question to seal the deal: would you go to the dance with me?
Give it to the magic of film to assemble a perfect last-minute homecoming look for the main love interest. The perfect dress, the perfect shoes, and a magnificent entrance to the dance itself- all eyes on them. Simply impeccable. At that point, the movie got us all tearful as the main couple, who have struggled all 90 minutes to end up together, slow dance to a song that is just as iconic. Chef's kiss, no doubt.
