"Teen romance has always been a popular genre, often resonating with young adults who may be seeking a glimpse into a fantasy life they'd like to experience for themselves. Teen romance movies tend to have a certain warmth and nostalgic quality. Sure, some of the genre's all-time classics are cringy, cheesy, formulaic, or downright unrealistic, but that's just part of their charm. We have seen some great advancements in this genre, with filmmakers boldly avoiding stereotypical stories and characters by creating modern and clever tales that reflect their current generation, while still retaining some influences from old-school teen movies. Whether you're a fan of the '80s or prefer more contemporary entertainment, this ranked list has everything for your teen romance needs. It's got the standard Romeo and Juliet dilemma, first loves, forbidden romances, unrequited feelings, innocent crushes, fake relationships, tragedy, belated romantic epiphanies, fantasy, and more." - looper.com
