Do you recall American Pie? You do, of course! Many of us were infatuated with teen films like She’s All That and 10 Things I Hate About You during that critical period in middle or high school, and that’s when it hit us. Even while those weren’t exactly innocent, nothing could have prepared us for American Pie’s raunchiness and wildness. Even now, the phrase “band camp” makes us chuckle. And because of that incredibly bizarre pie-themed masturbation scene, apple pie will never fail to make me cringe.
It’s clear that the prostitution, drama, and humor were amplified for entertainment. Nobody that we are aware of has ever unintentionally live-streamed an embarrassing sexual encounter, especially when they were still teenagers. To help you relive those memories, we have compiled a short list for you. These movies share quite a few things with American Pie and therefore, they are guaranteed to make you take a trip down the memory lane. Here is the list prepared to make you feel good:

1. Porky’s (1981)
Do you consider American Pie to be the risquéest movie you have ever seen? If not, you most likely haven’t seen this.

Although it is undoubtedly offensive, it is nonetheless a classic in the bawdy teen comedy genre.
