I hate American Graffiti, my dad rented it once cause he thought i'd enjoy it. I left halfway through.

It has no storyline!

***azalea*** · 06-17-2002, 06:57 PM

I agree with the ones I see on there that I've seen.

I would have to include Animal House and Rebel without a Cause. Possibly even Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet (that doesn't qualify as a teen movie though, I guess).

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is my favorite teen movie I think. I love that movie...

They didn't have Sixteen Candles on there? I'm surprised. I would have put that one on the list. (Unless I missed it, which is possible, since I haven't had my coffee this morning...

)

BeardofPants · 06-18-2002, 06:05 PM

Ah, you bet me, Jadera. No sixteen candles?! And what about Lucas?! St. Elmos?

And American Graffiti kicks arse.

American Graffiti: the only good teen comedy I can name

***Khamûl*** · 06-19-2002, 11:50 PM

I pretty much agree with those. And I love Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Crappy list there, but American Graffiti kicks ass.

Hate to break it to you, spudly one, but teen flicks ARE a crappy genre.

Did somebody say stir fry? I'll have that shaken, not stirred.

Aw. come on, you didn't like Heathers?

BoP, true, the genre sucks, but there are still at least 20 movies worth being on that list, and most didn't make it, being replaced by crap.

Tar-Elendil · 06-23-2002, 06:23 PM

hey, now, porky's is a good movie:P
nearly everything else in the whole category of "teen movies" isnt worth renting:P

BeardofPants · 06-23-2002, 08:17 PM

Well, instead of moaning about it, why don't you compile your own freaking lists?

I would, but I tend to avoid the genre, especially the more recent attempts.

I think I only like about five or six on that list.

I would, but I've got half a million other things to write that I'm currently procrastinating away.
