Best Teen Movie of the 80s?
 

I was a kid in the 80's, I didn't hit teens till the 90's but the movies that stick out in my mind are

"The Breakfast Club"
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
"Back to the Future" (sort of a teen movie but not really"
"Sixteen Candles" (which makes most guys vomit lol)

I have to say my favorite out of those was ferris bueller .

So what was your favorite teen movie from the 80's? Even if you were not a teen in the 80's but you've seen all the movies, which was your fave?
And all people who WERE teens in the 80's, what was your fave teen movie?

what was that john cusack movie?

tie between ferris Bueller and the Breakfast club

Say Anything?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off all the way :thumbsup

Ferris Bueller was always my favorite.

Second, Weird Science.

Fast times at Rigemont high

I love 80's teen movies and I loved the mini-revival back at the end of the nineties.

The Breakfast Club
Better Off Dead
One Crazy Summer
Say Anything
The Last American Virgin
Sixteen Candles
Private School
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Pretty in Pink

the list goes on and on.

when i was little me and my friends used to refer to most of these as titty movies.

You guys all missed the best one by far:

Valley Girl

Pump Up The Volume :)

TOTALLY!!!! A list without Fast Times is BOGUS!

damn, how could I have forgotten Last American Virgin? The only teen movie of the 80's to make me laugh my ass off AND almost cry....

Fast Times Ridgemont Hight & Porkys has to be the top two.

Both movies taught me how to party!

The sure thing is good


best hands down no questions is the breakfast club

ferris bueller is still good, but even as an adult
breakfast club never gets old, ferris bueller you can outgrow


John Hughes wrote most of the good ones, amazing how many he did of the ones we all like.


Molly Ringwald, anthony michael hall, and John Cusak movies pretty much sums them up

One Crazy Summer is definately up there

I think the best ones started in 1985 and 86 with Hughes writing and they are much better than the ones these days (she's all that etc), not into the ones older than that much. weird science also is a great flick.

last american virgin I will have to look that one up

Stand by me is a great one, not a comedy, but a great movie, same category as goonies I guess.


Lucas is a good movie from then, agree with sixteen candles

The Breakfast Club
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sixteen Candles
The Last American Virgin

Scarface
Empire Strikes Back
Return of The Jedi

1980

Caddyshack!



"I Know it's good shit I got it from a nee-gro!"

"Doodie!"

"Goonies"

and

"Short Circuit"

Johny Five alive

you left off weird science?

are you high mr. spicolli?

Pump up the Volume came out in 1995-96

No doubt one of the greatest 80's movies!

I like Sixteen Candles and fast Times.

i liked listen to me - have been trying to get it on DVD for over 2 years now to resee it but its a no go :(

Some other honorable mentions...

Risky Business
Revenge of the Nerds - First Live action Bush/Tit shot I saw at the age of 6/7
Teen Wolf
Lost Boys
License to Drive

Certainly it's ok to have a little pizza on *our* time.

some of the answers given make me wonder if I have the foggiest idea what a "teen movie" from the 80's was.

Scarface was a "teen movie?" And so is Sixteen Candles. So, what exactly is the common thread that tie them to the teen movie genre?

I will say, I have only heard of a few of those movies, but I still watch Bueller. Would Wayne's World qualify as a "teen movie?"

St. Elmos Fire is my favorite movie of the 80's.

Risky Business is pretty good 80's teen movie

Might as well throw "The Outsiders" in there too
