Heathers is a 1988 American teen black comedy film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, in both of their respective film debuts.[6][7] The film stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker, and Penelope Milford. Its plot portrays four teenage girls-three of whom are named Heather-in a clique at an Ohio high school, one of whose lives is disrupted by the arrival of a misanthrope intent on murdering the popular students and staging their deaths as suicides.

Winona Ryder's agent tried to keep her from doing this movie, telling her it would be the end of her career, and now it's one of her most iconic roles and a legitimate cult classic.

[@TheLoonyLovebad1]

This movie was a whole commentary on society at the time. Suicide was such a taboo no one would talk about it. After Heather dies you see Veronica's parents just being like "So do you have a date for the prom?" No one was taking it seriously or worried about their kids

[@serenitymoon825]

Tbh, I don't think enough parents take it seriously now.

The ending to Heathers is a direct contrast to J.D’s father and mother. His father blew up a building with the woman he loves in it, JD tried to blow up a building but ended blowing himself up instead of the woman he loves in a way to express his love.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

The reason you didn't know about Shannen Doherty's red hair is that it's dyed. She was meant to dye it blonde to match the other two Heathers, but she wouldn't, so they let her dye it red. It seems to have started a tradition in the musical, too, where Heather Duke has dark hair and Chandler and McNamara are fair. In my fanfics, I tend to write Chandler as a strawberry-blonde, McNamara as golden-blonde and Duke as dark-haired. Veronica is always a brunette, no matter what. Funnily enough, I did write a fanfic using characters from a different fandom, and the girl standing in for Heather Chandler had gorgeous long black hair, while the Heather Duke character had shoulder-length brown hair. Needless to say, the red scrunchie didn't quite look as good on her.

[@pjdexter168]

RIP Heather 1, Kim Walker, who sadly died of a brain tumour in 2001.

You should totally listen the Heathers musical / watch it if you can find it! its a great adaptation that gives the backstory to Veronica joining the Heathers! Also, the actress of Heather Chandler, Kim Walker, says the line "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?' which is so sad now because she died of a brain tumor at 31 :(

I watched this as an adult and the chokehold this movie had on me. I was pissed I never heard of this movie sooner. I recommend Never Been Kissed with scream queen, Drew Barrymore

[@zoc.6922]

Small tangent, Never Been Kissed has always been a silly movie for me because when I first watched it, for some reason I thought that the high school teacher was the guy that egged her during prom night. I rewatched it recently and realized I made that up. 😂

[@tgardner11]

@@zoc.6922 love a little revisionist history! In a slightly similar vein--to this day I don't know whether or not Guy Perkins (the popular guy that invites Josie to prom for real when she goes undercover) was in on the dog food "prank" the popular kids pulled on Aldys. I think I mosty believe that he was genuinely wanting to dance with her to make amends but I never have felt positive in one way or another. I feel like they presented Guy in a relatively "good" way, to kinda compare him to her original crush, Billy, so I'd like to believe he didn't know about that plan...

I would definitely recommend watching a bootleg of the 2014 off-broadway run of heathers the musical, you can find it on youtube! (not the current version because they’ve made a lot of changes since then and none of them are good lol.) I think the musical fixes a lot of the issues i have with the movie.

I think they changes they made were fine. The set is better and more elaborate, and I honestly like the added songs.

[@LordVolkov]

I feel like Christian Slater is doing a bit of a Jack Nicholson impression here, and kinda keeps doing it for the rest of his career 😅 He's also very unhinged in the extremely dark comedy Very Bad Things (with Daniel Stern, Jeremy Piven, Cameron Diaz, and John Favreau). Or try the tamer ladies version - Rough Night (with ScarJo & Zoe Kravitz)

Since you liked this movie, you should check out 'Batman Returns', if you haven't already. It was written by the same screenwriter, and shares a bit of its acid tone - only with Tim Burton and superheroes. (Plus, it's very Christmassy, so, you know - timely.)

[@thereellifewithjenniferwoods]

First watched this movie around 1992 or 1993 when I was way too young to be watching it. But it was on TV, and my parents weren't home. Spent the next several years on a mission to get the whole thing on videotape. That's a story in and of itself. Love hearing people's thoughts on it, whether serious or mocking or somewhere in between. The girl you said had an amazing face but you didn't recognize? That was Kim Walker. Sadly, she died of a brain tumor young, several years after that famous line of hers about a brain tumor for breakfast. She played the Heather who died. I only know her from this movie.

[@matte5705]

Single favorite movie of all time literally don't think I've gone 6 months without watching it since the first time I watched like 7 years ago

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

People say Ed McMahon and the publishing Clearinghouse is a Mandela effect, but the movie mentions winning a million dollars and that big Ed guy giving the check

[@Jrr592]

So the actress who played red Heather actually died very young of a brain tumor, ironic because one of her iconic lines is “did you have a brain tumor for breakfast”

I was in 6th grade when this movie came out on HBO. My mom let me stay up late to watch it with her. She sent me to bed right after it was done without talking about it at all. Had to process it on my own right before starting junior high. That's pretty much the Gen X experience with this classic.
