- Clueless (1995) Could anything else really be at the #1 spot? Ugh, as if! There's not a hair, nor a needle-drop, nor a yellow plaid skirt-suit out of place in Amy Heckerling's genius teen flick – still the best movie adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma out there.
- The Breakfast Club (1985) Right from its opening image of a lyric from David Bowie's 'Changes' shattering into fragments, the quintessential John Hughes movie sets about breaking down barriers.
- Back To The Future (1985) It's easy to think of Back To The Future as anything but a teen movie. It's a time travel movie. A sci-fi adventure. A fish out of water story.
- 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) "There's a difference between like and love. Because I like my Sketchers, but I love my Prada backpack." If Shakespeare himself wrote teen comedies, he couldn't come up with lines this good – but screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith managed it in their '90s redo of The Taming Of The Shrew.

- 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.
