- Back to the Future (1985) For all of it’s epic sci-fi trappings (including a score that goes much harder than that of a typical teen comedy), there’s a simple concept at play here: What if a modern teen (well, circa 1985) were able to meet and interact with his parents when they were the same age.

- Rebel Without a Cause (1955) Drag races, forbidden love, and the universal search for understanding are all expertly handled by the formidable trio of James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo (with an able assist from Dennis Hopper) in this classic of teen angst.
- Gidget (1959) The original surfer girl winningly portrayed with loads of sunny charm by Sandra Dee herself (the one the song in Grease is about) remains a perfect cinematic escape.
- Splendor in the Grass (1961) While the concept of repressed desire and guilt leading to a suicide attempt (and institutionalization) seems gothic in its intensity, Natalie Wood's powerful performance makes Splendor in the Grass a teen angst classic ('50s Repressed Female Edition).
- Bye Bye Birdie (1963) Ann-Margaret shines in Bye Bye Birdie — a gloriously silly, wildly energetic parody of '50s fandom, a heart-shaped giant candy box of a movie that throws everything into the mix to create an unabashedly over-the-top entertainment package.
