I nominated Rock 'n' Roll High School, which is an ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BONKERS movie from 1979. It's like Grease on cocaine, without the musical numbers. It's what happens when adults who have no idea what The Youths are up to try to write a screenplay about youth culture, then that screenplay gets put through a dozen rewrites and probably at least one round of google translate. It's Roger Corman (of B-movie fame) attempting to make a teen rock musical. Nominally, it's about a teenage girl fighting against her school's virulently anti-rock 'n' roll principal while also scheming to see The Ramones live in concert. However, the actual plot is so . . . bizarre (at one point, exploding mice are involved) that you can pretty much just take the bare bones of the characters and go from there. Specifically, I nominated it for the relationship between the main character, Riff, and her best friend Kate. Their relationship . . . is very gay.
Very gay.
(The best friend does have a male love interest, but he's so bland and irrelevant, you can pretty much ignore him entirely.)
Plus, you can watch the whole thing for free on YouTube! So even if you hate it, the most you'll have lost is an hour and a half of time.
