10 Movie Parties Never Included On Movie Party Lists

You other lists think you're better than me?

10. RUMBLE FISH - B&E with T&A in B&W.

Local zero Rusty James (Matt Dylan at his dim bulb best) demonstrates just how to make your next home invasion go from simple hustle bustle to drunken teen-age group grope. Sure the party is brief, but rumor has it director Francis Ford Coppola let the actors go... ahem, "method" while he shot this scene. Which doesn't seem that creepy until you factor within that tangle of tantalizing limbs is Coppola's nephew, a pre-nutso Nicholas Cage making his onscreen nude debut.

9. FANDANGO - It's the privilege of youth.

Early in his career, Kevin Costnerhad screen charm to burn. Exhibit A: Fandango. The movie begins in the middle of rowdy graduation party thrown by 'the Groovers' - five best buds from University of Texas. As the de-facto leader, Costner is front and center in almost every scene playing Gardner Barnes as if mainlining Neal Cassady. Writer/director Kevin Reynolds nails the beer soaked, bong smoked atmosphere perfectly. Costner and Reynolds became buds, teamed up years later to make Robin Hood and hated each other by the time they finished Waterworld. Maybe it really is all downhill after college.

8. FOXES - The original Girl Squad.

Jodie Foster stars in this dawn of the '80's teen drama when disco was gasping it's last and four teen-age girls living unsupervised in the San Fernando Valley indulge in booze, 'ludes, and dudes. Featuring Scott Baio, the Justin Bieber of this time, wearing his best tuxedo shirt to the quiet dinner party the foxes try to have. It quickly turns into an out of control rager thanks to a bad element crashing and trashing the place. The teen drama genre became as dead as disco when a low budget high school comedy cast with relative unknowns scored big at the box office. That movie was Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

7. THE WILD LIFE - "Totally Aw-"... I mean "It's Casual."

Universal / Via alchetron.com

The Wild Life was billed as a "spiritual sequel" to Fast Times Times at Ridgemont High. Only Sean Penn turned down the lead role that was to be Spicoli's "spiritual brother." So producers hired real brother Chris Penn, dyed his 'do blonde, and hoped no one would notice. The movie tanked. No shame on Chris Penn, he's great as the world's worst party boy roommate who turns an apartment party epic. Blame the bad box office on how the movie tries to force "It's casual" as their catchphrase. It's kinda like the one guy who insists on giving himself a nickname. Totally bogus move, bro.

6. VALLEY GIRL - Romeo & Juliet for a New Wave set.

Punk rocker, early stage Nicholas Cage, spots a hottie at the beach and after brief eye contact, decides "she's the one." He tracks her down to a New Wave preppy party in the Valley. After getting thrown out, Nic climbs through the bathroom window and hides in the shower, waiting for the hottie to potty. He passes time creepily peeping on various preppy make-outs and at one point pantomimes shooting a couple dead. Did I mention Valley Girl is a comedy? Credit Cage and his quirky charisma for keeping felony-level stalking funny and romantic.

5. NORTH DALLAS FORTY - That's his sippy cup.

If you don't think North Dallas Forty is the greatest movie ever made about the NFL, I will fight you. Anytime, anywhere. Day or night. Don't know the movie? Forfeit your fantasy football league and stay away from the tailgates until you do. After watching real deal Nick Nolte use his morally compromised compass to navigate through this hedonistic waters of this team party, you'll finally get it when your in-the-know bros start going on about, "The weird part!"

4. BLUE VELVET - The Wolfpack would get eaten alive.

With oddball auteur David Lynch in charge of this guest list, count on wall-to-wall weirdos. There's Pabst Blue Ribbon, ominous middle-aged ladies, and Dean Stockwell as the bizarro host who lip-synchs Roy Orbison tunes. Then there's world class lunatic Frank Booth. Dennis Hopper resurrected his career with a performance that's pure sociopathic menace one moment, seething sobbing horn dog the next. That's when he's in a good mood. When Frank starts huffing on his happy gas it becomes a party you'll never forget. No matter how hard you try.

3. OVER THE EDGE - Smells like teen spirit.

The late Kurt Cobain confessed that Over The Edge "pretty much defined my whole personality." One thing's for sure, it launched the career of Matt Dillion. There's a first act house party that captures the 70's "latch key kid" culture so authentically it could pass for a documentary with a kick ass soundtrack. The big bash happens in the finale when the adults gather at the school to discuss their out of control kids. Their out of control kids lock them inside then begin looting and vandalizing the school while the parking lot blows up into a party spot. Literally.

2. BIG WEDNESDAY - Don't try the watermelon punch.

John Milius wrote and directed Big Wednesday as an ode to his youthful days surfing waves in Malibu. He's the first filmmaker to give screen time to the occupational hazard of party-throwers & party-goers alike: crashers. The slugfest that breaks out is pure Wild West barroom brawl barrel-rolled with a '60's era surfer twist. From the sloppy-drunk scrappers demolishing each other and the kitchen in the process, to the skillfully precise knockout artist who saves the day, it's a master class on how to shoot a fight scene that's a cult classic.

1. MAD MONSTER PARTY - Who's who of what's that?

In this stop-motion musical comedy monster mash,Dr. Frankenstein invites the heavy hitters of horror to his remote island hideaway for a party to end all the rest. The VIP ghoul-list includes Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hide, and the Invisible Man. Just so happens, Universal Pictures plans for those same names to each get a reboot movie in hopes of creating their own "crossover universe" ala Marvel's Avengers. Will their end game be a remake of Mad Monster Party? Done right, it could be a graveyard smash.
