Jerry, a new student at an elite Catholic prep school, must face the hazing practices handed down by the Vigils, a group of powerful students.

An oddity in teen movies that focused on private schools. This one had some interesting aspects, but it imploded as it tried to bite off too much. Saw it on TCM.

I can scarcely think of another film that

I can scarcely think of another film that so perfectly combines coming-of-age and social/global politics. This movie is an absolute gem. All of the actor's understood the assignment here, and John Glover's performance in particular is one of my all-time favorites. It's dramatic, it's funny, it's sad, it's relatable, and its subject matter is evergreen. The character development feels organic, as the actors seem to have all been living their lives characterized in the movie long before filming began. That is how wonderfully cast it is. The Chocolate War is the perfect movie for kids in their early teens, and adults will applaud the tone, story, and setting. A powerhouse of a film that should be required viewing in high school, in my opinion.
