40 Classic Teen Movies to Introduce to Your High Schooler (Scary Mommy)

A great way to connect with your child is to watch movies with them and have conversations about the storylines, characters, and conflicts afterward. So, really, showing them classic films that'll leave you feeling nostalgic in the best way and them feeling cool for knowing where phrases like "Oh Captain, my captain" come from is a win-win for both of you.
Ahead, you'll find some of the best examples of these classic movies, and — bonus — they're age-appropriate for your teenager (though you have final discretion on this). Pull them up on a projector for an outdoor movie night or cozy up on the couch in front of the TV. You're about to have one incredible movie marathon.
