The 50 Best Teen Movies from the 1990s. Here is a chronological list of the best teen-centered films from the year 1990-1999 (as chosen by me). 1. Pump Up the Volume (1990) R | 102 min | Comedy, Drama, Music. Mark runs a pirate radio station and causes an uproar when he speaks his mind and enthralls fellow teens.
Director Michael Schultz Stars Glynn Turman Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs Garrett Morris. 11. Aaron Loves Angela. 1975 1h 39m R. 5.7 (307) Rate. In New York City, a young black boy and Puerto Rican girl fall in love despite objections from each other's families. Director Gordon Parks Jr. Stars Moses Gunn Kevin Hooks Irene Cara.
- 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.

- 1960: Where the Boys Are. At this point, Where the Boys Are might be best remembered for its title song—it was sung by Connie Francis, who also starred in the film.
- 1961: West Side Story. Real-life teenagers don't sing and dance their way through conflict, but they do in West Side Story, the film adaptation of the Leonard Bernstein–Stephen Sondheim musical based on Romeo and Juliet.
- 1962: Girls! Girls! OK, Elvis Presley was a little older than a teenager when he starred in Girls! , but the teen movie market wasn't quite what it is now, and if you were 17 in 1962, there's a good chance you saw this one in theaters.
- 1963: Bye Bye Birdie. Another teen movie musical—this one featuring a send-up of Elvis with the titular character of Conrad Birdie—Bye Bye Birdie was adapted from the hit 1960 Broadway musical.
