Teenage Wasteland: The Alchemy of Gloom and Doom

These films all possess some element of teen angst or youthful hopelessness. Selections span from 1955 to 2012, with a majority of selections nestled in the 80s and 90s when 'teensploitation' films and angsty teen dramas seemed to be at the height of their popularity.
