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:

  1. Rebel Without a Cause - 1955
  2. American Graffiti - 1973
  3. Carrie - 1976
  4. Breaking Away - 1979
  5. Fame - 1980
  6. Fast Times at Ridgemont High - 1982
  7. Risky Business - 1983
  8. The Karate Kid - 1984
  9. Sixteen Candles - 1984
  10. Footloose - 1984
  11. The Goonies - 1985
  12. Back To The Future - 1985
  13. The Breakfast Club - 1985
  14. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 1986
  15. Stand and Deliver - 1988
  16. Say Anything - 1989
  17. Heathers - 1989
  18. Dead Poet's Society - 1989
  19. Dazed and Confused - 1993
  20. Clueless - 1995
  21. Scream - 1996
  22. Cruel Intentions - 1999
  23. American Pie - 1999
  24. Election - 1999
  25. Donnie Darko - 2001
  26. Ghost World - 2001
  27. Harry Potter series 2001-
  28. Varsity Blues - 2001
  29. Spider-Man - 2002
  30. Bend it Like Beckham - 2002
  31. Napoleon Dynamite - 2004
  32. Mean Girls - 2004
  33. Superbad - 2007
  34. Juno - 2007
  35. Twilight - 2008
Since the word "Best" is very subjective, I am sure many of you will disagree with this list. Please let me know if you think I left out anything that should be on this list of top 35 movies about teens, or if you think that any movies on this list don't belong.
