The Breakfast Club (1985) - 7/10 (within my Top 199 movies in general and amongst my favorite movies)
nothing else touches that one as it holds up the best even today.
p.s. but as a general rule... i think the 1980's had the best teen themed movies.

...Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955). The film is not only iconic and iconographic but incredibly iconoclastic, both in terms of content and visual style. Nicholas Ray broke all kinds of taboos in daring fashion.
I viewed The Edge of Seventeen twice, and I ultimately thought that it was a "good/very good" film—underrated, a smoother and more organic mix of contrasting elements than what Manchester by the Sea offered (although the latter is weightier and thus slightly better), and featuring a wonderful performance by Woody Harrelson that deserved a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination.

I agree that Rebel Without A Cause is great, and after my last viewing it looked and played better than ever. It's takes a lot of flak for its "datedness" but what do people expect from a now more than sixty year old movie? Also excellent, and from a much later period, the hilarious 1967 You're A Big Boy Now, directed by none other than Francis Ford Coppola himself. A great picture of New York City of a certain time (when it was Mayor John Lindsay's "Fun City"). Tough to watch but all too true: the 1969 Last Summer. Teenage sadism, painfully true to life. |

So many great Choices! I voted for the Breakfast Club, but I also love A Walk to Remember, Clueless & Crazy/Beautiful.

I did like that as well to some extent, but it was too sad for me to handle.

Wow that is a collection of atrocious films.
The Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles (1990) heavily owns all of these.

I think 'Rebel Without A Cause' paved the way for all that followed. I've not seen an American juvenile delinquent movie made before it that even comes close to what Nicholas Ray achieved with that groundbreaking picture (though some I've seen are enjoyable).

Well, there's Nick Ray's own Knock On Any Door, Petrolino, from 1949, but it's easy to see what's wrong with it even allowing for the miscasting (sort of) of John Derek in the lead. It plays like a straightforward, dramatic, "socially conscious" Dead End Kids flick made ten years later. It lacks the stylistic flourishes of Rebel, and also the teen perspective "from within", by which I mean the way the story is told: Knock is pretty much a movie made for grownups that teens can watch and learn from, while Rebel is a movie made for teens and grownups can watch and learn from.
