    No, no, that's a classic.

    Yeah well, none of that is me. But fine, I’ll give it a try 😉
    it's still a great movie, even without the buzz. that's the era of my life it came out in for me.

    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

    Good read.  I heard her on Moth Radio Hour but she goes into more detail here.  This was good.

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

    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.
