Let's see what the best "Teen Movie" is. 

I'm also curious as to what you have in your top 5?

If any were missed or you think should be noteworthy please add it in your comments.

This was inspired from the pissing match in the Scarface thread, lol!

    Top 5 Ferris Buellers, Grease, Superbad, Kids and Heaven Help US.

    Bring it on should be up there on the list and I added Eighth Grade because I heard great things about it.

    I don't know that I could rank a top 5.  Fast Times is obviously my #1, Ferris is up there, as is American Pie.  Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, & Pretty in Pink are all classics.  Clueless, Varsity Blues & She's All That haven't been mentioned in either thread I don't think. And on that note, Not Another Teen Movie is one of the greatest spoof films ever.  Jawbreaker is another good one.  I don't know if Election counts as a teen movie, but it's spectacular!  10 Things I Hate About You, Juno, and Easy A also deserve discussion.  Good mention on Kids, that one always seems to be forgotten.

    Superbad
    I know Kick-Ass is questionable as a teen movie, but I hate most teen movies, so fuck it.

    Fast Times is great, far superior to the others on here. But you left off "Clueless" and "Ten Things I Hate About You," so this list feels woefully incomplete.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I'd also argue that "Heathers" is better than any John Hughes movie. I'm sure those will be taken as fighting words by some. ;-)

    Good call on The Lost Boys in general, but I put it in a different genre (horror). One of my favorites though.

    Top 5: 

    1.  Dazed and Confused
    2.  The Breakfast Club
    3.  Fast Times
    4.  Ferris Bueller
    5.  Sixteen Candles

    Any John Hughes film is a winner in my book.

    I had a list of 20 movies and all that you mentioned were in there so the cut was:

    Not another teen, Easy A, Varsity Blues, Heathers, Bring it On, 16 Candles, Twilight, Perks of being a wallflower, Sisterhood of the traveling Pants and Kids.

    Of course I could have 10 more that were in a lower tier but these were the 20 I had picked out and rounded them to 10.

    With the lack of more options I hope that a good compilation can be reached.

    Keep them comments coming!

    I hope you're talking about the movie with Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, and James Garner.

    I guess it was okay as a rifftrax movie. That's the only way I recommend watching that one.

    Kudos to The Lost Boys mention, despite being as cheesy as The Outsiders (loved the book though).

    Fast Times is my go-to.

    Also gotta mention Lucas (that kid's fucking mouth was always open) and My Bodyguard.

    Oh, and Kids - like Gummo - was seriously fucked up and disturbing.  I wouldn't consider them your standard teen films but they surpassed them by far.

    If only Pedro was our president instead. I can laugh at almost every scene of that movie. I love them all, but this is the best one to me.

    "Save Ferris!" Between that and Superbad, I laugh the most. Dazed, Breakfast Club and Fast Times are timeless, but not as funny. Some of my other favorites not listed are Teen Wolf (yeah, yeah, cheesy, but suck it), Adventures in Babysitting (Elisabeth Shue :heart:), Scream (horror, but awesome), The Lost Boys (again, horror, but Feldman, Haim, Patric and Sutherland, yeah!), Donnie Darko (if it counts), Bill & Ted (Wylde Stallions rule!) and Weird Science.

    Films like Weird Science, Project X, Teen Wolf, Back to the Future, Lost Boys, Bill & Ted, Say anything, Better off Dead, Animal House, Stand by Me are all movies that were either not Teenage enough(Stand by Me, Animal House) or just bad movies(Outsiders, Teen Wolf).

    You can name a ton more movies but the ones that will rise at the end of the day were the initial 20 I had listed.
    EDIT: Having listed Breakfast Club I didn't feel the need to add Pretty in Pink or 16 Candles even though they are great I felt that Breakfast Club was head and shoulders above them.
