I am trying to find the title of a movie which came out in the late
1990's or possibly the year 2000. The plot was of a very pretty girl
who had a crush on her teacher. she lived under pretense and would
change her clothes from modest to more wild style on the way to
school. One morning one of her male
classmates catches her trying to change and she flashes him in order
to get him to give her her top back. She helps her teacher with a yard
sale at one point. this movie would easily fit into
the psycho bitch from hell genre. The movie ends in a ridiculous scene
where she tries to
kill a man in some spooky old house.

Hi mlj2004,

Does this sound like the movie you're looking for:

"Debbie Strong, who escapes from the mental institution she was sent
off to in the first installment of the series. After brutally
murdering a young co-ed, Debbie steals both the girl's identity and
her car, and heads off to the college her victim was supposed to
attend. There, Debbie quickly develops a psychotic crush on her
dashing writing professor, Dr. Sam Decker, killing anyone she
perceives as a threat to their relationship. However, Debbie's scheme
starts to fall apart when her roommate begins unraveling Debbie's lies
and discovers the truth about her past. Knowing that her she is in
danger of being exposed, Debbie makes plans to get rid of her roommate
and her friends by any means necessary. An appealingly tawdry
thriller..."
"...a perversely humorous take on the psycho killer/stalker formula
that boasts a vicious attitude and an attractive cast."

Regards,
Rainbow

Hello.

The movie was "Dearly Devoted" (aka "Devil in the Flesh").

See this description from a newsgroup post archived by Google Groups:

"..._Dearly Devoted_
...You know the story; crazy high school girl develops a crush on
her teacher and goes berserk when he spurns her advances...
...Debbie befriends a hunky teacher (Alex McArthur, who really isn't that
hunky) and volunteers in helping him out at his garage sale."
