I found this on epinions.com

The top ten teen movies, according to someone there are:

The Breakfast Club (1985)

The Karate Kid (1984)

American Graffiti (1973)

Varsity Blues (1999)

Sixteen Candles (1984)

Footloose (1984)

Grease (1978)

Rebel Without A Cause (1955)

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Pretty In Pink (1986)



Honorable Mentions:

Cruel Intentions
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Mean Girls
Dazed and Confused
American Pie
Scream


I'd have to say Risky Business, which is not on the list, is one of my favorites.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is awesome. Holden, I love the scene you selected for your pic. That scene in particular when the Cars' song Moving in Stereo comes on is freakin' perfect. I also love the fact that Nicolas Cage has a couple of short appearances, not to mention how far Sean Penn and Forrest Whitaker have come in their careers. Good pick....definitely going to watch this one over again

Well it's not really a "teen movie" I guess cause it has to do with college, but "Revenge of the Nerds" anyone?

Empire Records is another film I wanted to see at some point and forgot about. This was a reminder to hunt this one down.
