Just what I was going to say Cory. By "teen movies", Force Guy is referring to movies about "teens" (like American Pie or Clueless), not movies that you watched when you were in your teens (though there could be some crossover between those two subsets)! :P
That said, teen movies were/are just a silly, fun, guilty pleasure of mine too. So here's most of the ones I'll get sucked into when I come across them on the tube (most of which have been listed here already)...
- Some Kind of Wonderful (Lea Thompson)
- Can't Buy Me Love
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- Breakfast Club
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Weird Science
- Sixteen Candles
- Pretty In Pink

I was just waiting for someone to mention Can't Buy Me Love. :) I'm still waiting for someone to mention Just One Of The Guys, The Heavenly Kid, Reckless, or The Last American Virgin. Of course, maybe there's a reason that they haven't been mentioned yet. :P
And Jedi Mac is right. By "teen movie," I mean 80's movies that were about teens. ;D
-
I'm still waiting for someone to mention ...or The Last American Virgin.
Ah, yes. That was a good one too! Just not quite as mainstream as the rest (probably due to the "R" rating). How about Better Off Dead... Some good angst-ridden teen elements in that one, and definitely pretty funny! Of course, the common factor between these two movies was Diane Franklin - the virgin in the former, and the foreign exchange student in the latter... ;)
-
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Weird Science
Sixteen Candles
Revenge of the Nerds
most other stuff was crap
-
I forgot to mention: "Back To The Future". That was a great one. "License to Drive" was cool just because it had Heather Graham in it. Too bad it had the two "Coreys". I sure hate those bastards.
-
I want my two dollars!
-
Ah yes, Better off Dead. A classic
"This is pure snow. Do you realize the street value of this stuff" ;D
-
How could I forget about Howard the Duck? Anyway, I too liked the John Hughes movies. I think I was around that age back then, so I could relate to what the movies were about. 8)
