Heathers is a 1988 American black comedy film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann. It stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, and Shannen Doherty. The film portrays four teenage girls — three of whom are named Heather — in a clique at a fictional Ohio high school.
The film brought director Michael Lehmann and producer Denise Di Novi the 1990 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. Daniel Waters also gained recognition for his screenplay, which won a 1990 Edgar Award. Despite its high critical praise, the film was not a big hit in the box office but went on to become a cult classic, with high rentals and sales business. In 2006, it was ranked #5 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the "50 Best High School Movies" and in 2008, it was ranked #412 on Empire's list of "The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time".
The most dominant clique at Westerburg High School in Sherwood, Ohio consists of three wealthy and beautiful girls named Heather: the leader, Heather Chandler (Kim Walker), the quiet, bookish and bulimic Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), and the weak-willed cheerleader Heather McNamara (Lisanne Falk). Though they are the most popular students, the Heathers are both feared and hated. They recently invited 17-year-old Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) to join their group, by association making her a very popular girl as well. However, as the film begins, Veronica has had enough of their behavior and longs to return to her old life and her nerdy friends.

This is my first ever tribute edit and ... I never do this. So why? Because of what (in my opinion) is an incredible script, an incredible film, but the main reason is so the new generation of filmmakers don't miss it. This film is very much in the vein of American Beauty, yet preceded it by ten years. It mixes David Lynch with John Waters with the Breakfast Club. It takes a difficult topic like teen suicide, turns it on its head and presents it as a parodic dark comedy and induced a cult following. Who knows ... it may have even prevented some suicides. It's certainly a departure from the usual droll that is Hollywood and presents us a gem of originality and creativity. Maybe you're strictly on the mainstream, in which case -- don't watch it, it's not for you. But if you're from my g...

Cult movie from 80s. Heathers is a 1988 black comedy-coming of age film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

I remember when, when we sat outside,
Digesting "nourriture" that didn't suit their eyes.
We stood our ground, and took it as a layer to our shells,
And still you laugh at me. Why?
Remember when we thought we'd known each other, all our lives?
Those are the types that you can never really lose, and when you fell into a trap,
I knew you more than you knew you.
I need to go, I need to get away from everything
I'll have to run to get away from here
I need to go, I need to get away from everything
Just for a while, I need to get away from here.
And so we slowly slowly climbed over a ladder with no other side
And so I'll plead with you one last time,
Just to consider my point of view,
The path on which you walk will never fail to keep you safe,
