    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.

    Seriously though, those are all garbage films lol

    don't judge it based on the trailer. get nice and toasted and toss it in. preferably at the end of the night, after getting home from a club or a party, and you aren't quite ready for bed yet. light one up, press play, and sink into 1970. 

    my wife and I, before children, would literally do this every weekend, on rotation with The Big Lebowski, Old School, and D&C.

    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.
    Election is a FANTASTIC movie. But yeah, it isn't a teen movie. It's for grown ups.
    Better Off Dead was though - it that had been in the list I would have chosen it.

    There was a few Cusack movies that were on the cusp but didn't see them as teen movies...

    List was tough, it really was.

    Cant name a favorite so i’ll list my top film of each decade
    80s—-Breakfast Club
    90s—Cant Hardly Wait
    00s—-Perks of Being a Wallflower

    they all have desperation, comedy, and they all bring you back to being a teen

    ^^She really covers all the angles and deals with it frankly but also with sensitivity.

    That's what I liked most.  She doesn't express extreme emotion in either direction, but offers both praise and criticism of certain aspects of his writing & filmmaking.

    Of those listed, I would say Bueller but if there was an "other" button I would vote for "Pretty in Pink".  I always liked Molly Ringwald's movies a lot and Harry Dean Stanton was in it too so there you go.

    Ok, I didn’t watch the whole movie, only watched a whole lot of YouTube clips. Hated it 🤷🏼‍♀️
