Maybe you’re not cool enough to get invited to parties, but that can’t stop you from watching one! Here are six flicks that throw a memorable rager:
House Party (1990)
From our review: “If you’ve seen any movie that features a wild and cool party at some teen’s house while their parents are away during which a group of friends go through a series of wacky and life-changing episodes, then House Party will not be a shock to your system.”
Can’t Hardly Wait (1998)
From our review: “Can’t Hardly Wait rocks so hard that you’ll be feeling the back of your head for lumps afterward. Well, nah, I mean, it’s a really groovy flick that has immense rewatchable value.”

Groove (2000)
From our review: “Groove is in love with its music and look. For a party movie, it is extremely weak on story (I cannot remember a single character’s name), but it contains tremendous energy.”
The Beach Girls (1982)
From our review: “It’s a kooky party flick, so colorful characters and outlandish situations are welcome. We’ve got a malfunctioning Coast Guard crew trying to crack down on some weed smugglers, a Peeping Tom gardener, a loud disapproving neighbor, a literal food fight, and so on.”

Take Me Home Tonight (2011)
From our review: “It’s nothing more — or less — than one of those fun party flicks where everyone’s life changes over the course of a single wild night, and there’s probably a romance and a gross misunderstanding and a dance-off and a car wreck involved.”
Bachelor Party (1984)
From our review: “Top off this cinematic sundae with a donkey who does drugs, a father-in-law who gets corrupted by unseemly elements, and a Catholic school bus where the kids play craps for cash, and you’ve got yourself a mildly enjoyable time.”
