The 100 Best Teen Movies of All Time According to Timeout (Nov2023 Update)

a bit diff from last update, incl 4 films from after 2015
"It's not easy being a teen. The specifics change from generation to generation, but the struggle is universal: you're perched between childhood and adulthood, trying to figure out the world and yourself, as your hormones rage and your peers are at their cruellest. So it's no surprise that filmmakers continually return to their high-school years for inspiration – it's at once the most dramatic & hilarious time in anyone's life. Movies exploring the trials, tribulations & emotional turbulence of adolescence have been huge since at least the 1950s, & arguably hit their peak in the '80s, but they've remained a constant in cinema through today. It isn't all awkward sex and overblown emotions – though there's plenty of both, of course. On this list of the best teen movies of all time, you'll find intimately observed dramas, empathetic love stories & tales of pure horror. Because after all, what's scarier than puberty?" - timeout.com
