The 22 Best Teen Movies of the 21st Century (So Far)

"In the 21st century, teen movies have had to adapt and grow rapidly to the changing landscape of modern youth culture. Social media has become a necessary fixture of any high school movie, with films like "Eighth Grade" playing out the majority of their drama on phone screens. The teens getting depicted in film look and act different too, with room for high schoolers who aren't white and straight to lead their casts in movies like "Dope" or "Booksmart."
In celebration of the theatrical release of "Mean Girls," a musical remake of one of the most iconic teen films of this decade, IndieWire is looking back at the best teen films of the 21st century, so far. Entries are unranked and listed in chronological order — based off U.S. release dates."
