5. Booksmart

Best friends and graduating high school seniors Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) are what you would call “booksmart,” which are people who focuse on academics and achieving stellar results over anything else. There’s nothing wrong with focusing on the future and building strong credentials to get into a top college.

After realizing that other students have enjoyed and partied through their four years of high school while setting themselves up to attend a decent college, the two close friends admit they missed out on the social gratification that comes along with high school.
