Guest JMA Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Ah, the teen movie genre. A genre you either love, hate, or are indifferent to. ... Anyway, I tried to list the most popular teen flicks. I included an "other" option just in case your choice isn't listed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 I voted for other because my vote is for Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This movie found a way to deal with some serious issues while still being downright hilarious and in your face about it. Plus the boob shot that will be in our mind's forever, the 19 year old Phobe Cates fantasy.....WHOO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Your favorite teen film will usually be the one that was from your teen years and people will be voting for that and not for "best ever". I voted Breakfast Club, but I can't believe that Animal House and Fast Times at Ridgemont High aren't on there. Come on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I voted for fast times at ridgemont high, but if I HAD to pick one from the era I was a teen during, I guess it would be Can't Hardly Wait, merely because it was a GREAT satire on all the cliques in highschools during the mid-late 90's.

Guest Deebo Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Breakfast Club, although American Pie is probably better. I wasn't a teen when that came out though, so it really doesn't hold up to Breakfast Club, for me at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 It was before my time, but I like Porky's. A friend of mine's grandfather was in that movie, as one of the cops who pulls Meat out of the... chili or soup or whatever it was he was drowning in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 Would Dazed and Confused count as a teen movie?... Yes I believe so. I'd actually take a bit of issue with Ferris being on the list, unless this is just general teen movies rather then highschool related, only because Ferris didn't really deal AS MUCH with the daily life of highschool and moreso just a kid skipping class one day. (Not knocking the movie whatsoever). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 I voted for American Pie because, at that time, it was like watching myself and my friends in movie form. Especially since I hang out with someone whos looks and acts just like Finch, right down to the not shitting in school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notJames 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 That list begins and ends with The Breakfast Club. I think Heathers is a better film by far, but it wasn't mainstream enough to have as big of an impact. But I think both films are neck and neck when it comes to quotable lines.

BifEverchad 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 The 80's teen movie rock. Whatta coincidence this thread is too. At work, just last week we recieved a shipment of double pack DVDs, which include: Dazed & Confused/Fast Times at Ridgemount High, The Breakfast Club/Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day Off/Weird Science. I already had Ferris Bueller before, so naturally I picked up the other two without hesitation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2004 I voted The Breakfast Club... but Ferris, Fast Times...hell... I enjoy Can't Hardly Wait as well... D&C should be on there.... too bad Empire Records doesn't EXACTLY fall into this genre... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2004 I just happened to catch this one on the IFC the other day, but the music in thie film alone pushes it ahead of everything else; Pump Up The Volume. Sure it's over the top, exaggerated and Christian Slater acts a lot like Jack Nicholson, but the movie is still fucking awesome. I've just been surprised at how few people have heard of this movie. It was big at the time wasn't it? I wouldn't know, as in 1990 I was fast approaching my FOURTH birthday. EDIT: Is "Can't Hardly Wait" really that good as well? It just looked so shitty from what I remember, like, I don't know, Varsity Blues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2004 I enjoy "Can't Hardly Wait" for this: "Now, I'm sitting in class enjoying a late breakfast when out of all the classrooms in the school, she walks into mine! And where does the teacher sit her? Right next to me! Up until now, one could write this off to coincidence. But then she reaches in her bag and pulls out a strawberry Pop-Tart - the very same breakfast pastry I was consuming at that moment! What was I to do? How was I to proceed?" and can't forget... It say here ninety-two percent of the honeys at UCLA are sexually active. Ninety-two of the women in Los Angeles at UCLA walking around going, "Class... or sex? What shall I do?" Ninety-two percent, yo! Hey, you know what that means. It means I gots a ninety-two percent chance of embarrassing myself. I roll up on that shorty be like, "What's up yo?" she be like, "You don't know 20 different ways to make me call you Big Poppa" cuz I don't yo. and I just realized "10 Things I Hate About You" isn't on that list up there...
