On this list of the best teen movies of all time, you’ll find raunchy comedies and big-hearted love stories, serious dramas and even some tales of horror – because after all, what’s more horrifying than high school? It stretches from Judy Garland musicals to James Dean, from the aforementioned Hughes classics to Jennifer Love Hewitt, Superbad and Booksmart. While the so-called ‘teen movie’ arguably hit its peak in the ‘80s with the work of John Hughes, movies exploring the trials, tribulations and emotional turbulence of adolescence have been huge since at least the 1950s, and remained omnipresent through the ‘90s and up to today. It’s no wonder, then, that filmmakers continue mining their high school years for inspiration. It’s the most confusing time in anyone’s life, and that’s as true in 2022 as it was in 1922.

Taking place over an entire school year and featuring all the up-and-down drama you’d expect from a story about teenage girls, Mean Girls has Les Misérables–worthy sagas to explore the trick is just translating it to a stage where people have paid $100 for tickets and expect an intermission for a chance to duck to the bathroom.Īnd make love to your woman on the bathroom floor.
