So, I was browsing around, looking for some movies to watch, and I stumbled upon this gem called “The Girl Next Door.” I really enjoyed it, and now I’m on the hunt for similar movies. Here’s how I went about finding them.
First, I remembered a classic from way back: “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” from 1982. It’s like one of the granddaddies of teen movies, and it definitely has a similar vibe.
Then, I went to this website, Letterboxd. It showed me there were, like, 76 films similar to “The Girl Next Door.” I was like, “Whoa, that’s a lot!” I started digging through them, using their filters to narrow down the list. You know, things like “crude humor and satire” and “teen school antics.”
- I also found a list of 24 movies that people who liked “The Girl Next Door” also enjoyed. Two that caught my eye were “EuroTrip” and “Road Trip.” They seemed like they would be right up my alley.
- Another person recommended “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” “500 Days of Summer,” and the “Before” trilogy (“Before Sunrise,” “Before Sunset,” and “Before Midnight”). I hadn’t seen any of them, but they sounded interesting.
I also checked out where I could watch these movies. I looked at Amazon and Apple TV. It looks like Apple TV+ has some original stuff and live sports, and you can rent or buy movies. They give you 30 days to start a rented movie and 24 hours to finish it once you start. If you buy an Apple device, you get Apple TV+ free for three months. Otherwise, it’s like 8.99 a month after a seven-day free trial. But honestly, it didn’t seem like they had enough content for the price. I was thinking maybe I should just stick with Hulu or Netflix for now.
Anyway, that’s how I went about finding movies similar to “The Girl Next Door.” It was a fun little adventure, and I ended up with a bunch of movies to add to my watchlist.
