(2022)Okay, so maybe Do Revenge seems like a surprising pick for this list, but it is a coming-of-age comedy — albeit one that was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951). Co-written by the film's director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Someone Great) and Celeste Ballard (Sweet/Vicious), Do Revenge centers on soon-to-be high school seniors Drea (Riverdale's Camila Mendes) and Eleanor (Stranger Things' Maya Hawke).From left: Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes in Do Revenge.

CollectionDrea attends Rosehill Country Day High School on a scholarship — something Country Email List she tries her best to make her wealthy peers forget — and finds herself an outcast when her boyfriend, Max (Dash and Lily's Austin Abrams), anonymously releases an intimate video of her. Over the summer, Drea works at a tennis camp, where she meets Eleanor, who's transferring to Rosehill in the fall.When Drea's car breaks down, Eleanor offers her a ride; the conversation lands on what happened to Drea, prompting Eleanor to share that she was made a pariah too when a girl, Carissa (Love, Victor's Ava Capri), spread a rumor about her .






That rumor? Well, when Eleanor came out to Carissa, the latter told everyone that  Eleanor held her down and forcibly kissed her.From left: Maia Reficco, Alisha Boe, Camila Mendes and Paris Berelc in Do Revenge.
