No chick flick - or high school comedy - would be complete without a clique. Or several cliques. Dictionaries describe a "clique" as a tight-knit group made up of a few individuals who are less than eager to allow new members to join their ranks.
When most of us think of cliques we instantly think of cheerleaders, popular girls and mean girls. Of course, that is not always the case, although it is true that the latter guard their cliques with unparalleled ferocity. Still, very often cliques are also made of nerds, jocks, art students, foreign students and even outcasts who are just as unwilling to allow new members to join their group.
When it comes to movies, cliques often look incredibly realistic. Why? Because more often than not they mirror actual, real-life cliques. And while it is true that on screen these cliques - whether they are made up of cheerleaders or nerds - are exaggerated for comedic purposes, they nonetheless remind us of the cliques - or groups of tight-knit friends - that we have witnessed in real life.
We've created a quiz full of different cliques from popular movies. Now, who thinks they'll be able to match every one of the cliques we've included to the movie they appeared in? Let's find out!
What is the name of the film that featured the Pink Ladies?
This high school clique went by the name of 'Pink Ladies'. Fans will doubtlessly recall that members of this clique wore pink jackets (with the clique's name embroidered on the back), hence the name of the clique. Pink Ladies consisted of four young girls named Rizzo, Jan, Marty, and Frenchy who went to Rydell High School and who loved to spend their time at a malt shop known as Frosty Palace. Members of this clique had regular sleepovers during which they gossiped to their heart's content.
Which movie featured a clique known as The Plastics?
The Plastics was clique of the most popular girls in North Shore High School. Initially, the clique was made up of three members - Gretchen Wieners, Karen Smith, and of course, their leader Regina George. When a new girl named Cady Heron - who used to be home schooled - enrolled at North Shore High School after having just returned from Africa with her parents, Regina George took her under her wing. Why? Not because she was trying to be nice but rather because she was afraid of competition.
The Coven appeared in which one of the below movies?
This clique was known as a coven for it was made up of female students who had supernatural powers. In other words, they were witches. The coven was initially made up of three girls named Bonnie, Nancy and Rochelle. However, when a new girl named Sarah - who also had supernatural powers - joined their school, she went on to become the newest member of their clique. Together, they worshiped a strange deity known as "Manon" and cast harmful spells on other students.
Who can match this clique to the correct movie?
This particular clique had no name but we have no doubt that fans will know the name of the movie that it appeared in. This clique was initially made up of only two girls - Cher Horowitz (a popular and wealthy girl) and her best friend Dionne Davenport (who was, just like Cher, wealthy and "cool".) Eventually Cher decided to perform good deeds and after successfully playing a matchmaker to two of her teachers she chose a new girl named Tai Frasier as her next project. Eventually, Tai became another member of the clique but before long she was undermining Cher.
Match the T-Birds to the film.
The members of this clique were greasers who were known as T-Birds. As is obvious from the picture, they looked rather distinctive, at least in their appearance. They dressed in matching black leather jackets that had the word "T-Birds" - as well as their logo - embroidered on the back. The clique was made up of five male students named Danny Zuko, Kenickie, Doody, Sonny, and Putzie who attended Rydell High School. They wore their leather jackets with jeans, simple tees, and boots or converse shoes.
What film did this clique feature in?
This clique was made up of four teenage girls that attended Westerburg High School in Sherwood, Ohio. Three of the members shared the same first name - Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara, hence the name of the clique. The fourth member of the clique was a teenage girl named Veronica Sawyer who was conflicted about her involvement in the group for even though the Heathers were the most popular girls in school, they were also hated and feared by everyone.
The Mortimer Snerds appeared in which film?
The Mortimer Snerds was a group of popular girls that attended Bates High School. The group was made up of thirteen girls - Chris Hargensen, Sue Snell, Norma Watson, Helen Shyres, The Wilson Twins, Alice Litten, Julia McDermitt, Mary Blake, Ruth Gogan, Mary Lila Grace, Katie O' Shea, Trudy Bourne and Pollack. The girls - led by Chris Hargensen - constantly bullied the unpopular and shy girl named Carrie which is what eventually led to their demise (except for Sue, who was the only one to survive).
Match this tight-knit group to the movie.
This clique - or rather, group - was made up of three students studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding. As many will undoubtedly know, this group was made up of three teenagers, two of whom were male and one who was female. The leader of this friend group was without doubt 'The Boy Who Lived'. Ron Weasley was his loyal sidekick whereas Hermione Granger was the most intelligent member of the group.
What movie did the Posh Totties appear in?
We can't mention the name of the school that this clique was from for it is also the name of the movie. This school, just like most schools, had numerous of cliques within it, including the Odds, the Emos, the Geeks, the Chavs and of course, the most popular clique of them all, the Posh Totties. The Posh Totties were made up of three teenage girls (or perhaps more) named Chelsea, Peaches and Chloe who ended up being chosen as the School Challenge Team for a TV quiz show known as School Challenge.
Match the cheerleading squad to the correct film.
The Toros was a cheerleading squad made up of students who attended Rancho Carne High School in San Diego. Initially, the leader of the squad was a student nicknamed "Big Red" but upon her graduation, the position of the leader went to a student named Torrance Shipman. Unfortunately for Shipman, the position was more troublesome than she had anticipated for it turned out that the team had no original dance moves for the previous leader - "Big Red" - had copied their routine from another team.
Match the church youth group to the movie.
This church youth group was led by a female student named Marianne Bryant. Marianne was deeply religious - her father was a priest after all - but she was also very nosy. Indeed, it was Marianne who spread the story of Olive which she had overhead in the bathroom, without bothering to verify that it was correct. Marianne tried to give Olive some advice (or rather, a religious lecture) and was incredibly offended when the latter did not take her seriously. As such, she decided to convince her religious group to bully Olive to the point where she would have no other choice but to leave the school of her own accord.
Which movie did the Marauders appear in?
This particular clique went by the name of Marauders. The clique was made up of four students named Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and of course, James Potter. It's hard to know who was the leader of the group but our guess is that it was James Potter. We saw very little of this clique in this particular movie but that did not stop us from wishing that we were part of this tight-knit - and extremely mischievous - group anyways.
Which of the below movies did these outcasts appear in?
When it comes to cliques, this one is no doubt one that no one would want to be a member of. This clique of outcasts consisted of three members (although only two are pictured in the image to the right)- an awkward and aloof boy, a shy girl with entrepreneurial spirit named Deb and a Mexican transfer student named Pedro. The leader of this group was no doubt the aloof one who was constantly bullied by other, more popular students, such as the jock Don. However, it was Pedro who ran - and won - in class elections (with the help of his friend, of course).
What movie are the Richies from?
Recognize this clique? Unfortunately we could not find a picture that would have also included Blane McDonough and Steff McKee. Instead, we had to settle for an image with just Benny Hanson and her friend. Fans might recall that Steff was Benny's boyfriend and that him, his girlfriend and Blane were known as "Richies" (rich kids). Tension arose when both Steff and Blane fell for a girl named Andie Walsh who, just like her friend "Duckie", came from a working-class family.
Match the geeks to the movie.
There were barely any scenes of this geeky clique in the movie but we did get to see quite a lot of the main member of the group - a freshman named Ted who was in love with a sophomore girl named Sam Baker. Unfortunately for Ted, Sam was not interested in him at all, mostly because she had a crush on a senior named Jake. However, after talking to Ted she did agree to do him a favor which made him even more popular among his fellow geeks.
Match this clique of seniors to the correct movie.
As you can probably tell from the image, this clique of senior girls who attended Lee High School in the suburbs of Austin in Texas is getting ready to haze the incoming freshmen. While freshman boys were paddled by seniors, freshmen girls didn't have it that much better either for they were covered from head to toe in condiments such as ketchup and mustard, as well as flour and eggs, and were coerced into fake proposing to the senior boys.
What film did the Drapes appear in?
The Drapes was a clique that was made up of five members - Wade Walker (who was the leader of the group), his sister Pepper, a girl named Mona "Hatchet Face" Malnorowski who had a disfigured face and her boyfriend Milton Hackett as well as a girl named Wanda Woodward. The Drapes were in constant conflict with another clique known as The Squares but things became complicated when the leader fell in love with the Square Allison Vernon-Williams.
What is the name of the film that this group appeared in?
This particular clique had no name, Rather, it was made up of two best friends as well as one of their girlfriends Sloane Peterson. This young man was a senior who loved to pretend that he was sick so as to skip school. On one such occasion he decided to have a fun day with his friends - he collected his friend Cameron (who was actually sick) and got his girlfriend out of school on the pretext that her grandfather had passed away. The three friends then proceeded to have an adventure-filled day with the school's principal hot on their trail.
Match this tight-knit group to the film.
This clique was made up of three members- the shy Charlie who was prone to depression, the friendly Sam and her stepbrother Patrick. After meeting accidentally at a football game the trio became extremely close, especially when Sam and Patrick realized that Charlie had no other friends and thus attempted to make him one of them. The trio bonded as a result of their shared interests - such as mixtapes - and their fun, everyday activities such as late-night joyrides.
What is the name of the iconic movie that featured five students, each from a different clique?
This question is slightly different in that we will not be describing just one clique. In fact, this iconic movie featured five students, each from a different high school clique. The five students included the pretty girl Claire Standish, the jock Andrew Clark, the geek Brian Johnson, the outcast Allison Reynolds and the delinquent John Bender. The students met during detention which is when they realized that they had more in common with one another than they had initially thought.
What film did this vampire clique appear in?
You'd have to be a vampire to belong to this clique whose members went to Forks High School located in the town of Forks in Washington. This clique was made up of five members - Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Jasper Hale and of course, Edward Cullen. It is unclear who was the leader of this group although if we had to guess we'd go with Edward. Interestingly, the members of this clique were also family members and were known for being incredibly anti-social.
Match the mean cheerleaders to the movie.
As is probably obvious from the image, this clique was made up of cheerleaders. The leader of this clique was no doubt a girl named Lana Thomas who was known for bullying unpopular students, such as Mia Thermopolis. At a beach party, Lana pulled away a tent in which Mia was changing, which left Mia totally exposed in front of the press. Lana's boyfriend was equally as cruel and used Mia solely for fame (ditching her shortly afterwards). We don't know much about the other cheerleaders but we can assume that they were just as nasty as Lana.
