I've already written a few times on Connect with your Teens about movies for teenagers. I wanted to take another look at teen movies, but just the ones that both star and are about teenagers. I could not narrow this down to a top 10 or even a top 20. So here is my list of the top 35 best movies about teens, in chronological order:

Oh, I loved Heathers and a few others on the list.
great list. Can you believe I have not seen rebel without a cause.
Great list. Kudos for putting Rebel without a Cause, Heathers, Election, and especially Ghost World. There are lots of other great ones here too. :)
American Pie is the best movie in that list that I have seen. Cool, funny and just plain honest. The cast' funny antics made me cry laughing.
Good list. I would've put Gregory's Girl and Flirting somewhere in there.
I think Twilight is the best movie :X:X::X
hi. great list. I've watched the recent ones....and truly, they are the best. I'll try the others like donnie darko and dazed....
Twlight awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twilight Rocks, so does the book!!!
your list sucks!!
Adi, what movies would you put on this list?
its ok not all that
thirteen, the texas cheerleader scandal, HSM, wild child,i luv u beth cooper,
This list is great, but you need to add a few more that just hit the tops; New Moon, thirteen, and maybe Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. PS NO TWILIGHT
Nice list.. Vote for Twilight and New Moon :)
twilight is a horrible movie
Hey, nice list, I love Juno movie and I think it is the best of 2007.
hey great list and twilight is da best in 2008
you ruined the list with twilight, if you think it will help 'connect' with your teen, you're so very wrong. It will most likely encourage them to kill themself.
Ummmmmm where is dazed and confused???
And twilight is the worst thing to ever happen to america.
Great List! I would also include with Rebel Without a Cause, The Wild One. These old films do make teenagers look old! Also, how about the X-Men and The Blair Witch Project.
Ugh, I hate Superbad. I think Kick-Ass should take its place. 10 times better :)
Breakfast Club has to be my favourite - archetypal 80's flick.
Great list of movies! Thanks for sharing!
The Goonies has to be one of the best films on there!
