I wanna be the most popular girl…

Posted by on November 11 at 15:28 PM

Speaking of Landmark, this weekend’s midnight movie at the Egyptian is none other than the 1989 classic Teen Witch! It’s a cinematic marvel, starring Robyn Lively and Zelda Rubinstein, and features the hits “Top That,” (quite possibly the WORST—hilariously so—rap song in all history) and “I Wanna Be the Most Popular Girl.”

The story goes like this: When geeky Louise Miller discovers she’s a descendant of Salem witches, she uses her newly found powers to get back at the bitchy girls at her high school, win the heart of the hunky football star, torture her annoying little brother, and become the most popular girl in school. All while singing songs! It’s a far too overlooked ’80s classic, and you really shouldn’t miss a rare chance to see it in the theater.
