Which decade porduced the GOAT teen movies?

[invalid]

The 1970s

The 1980s

Soundtrack was just

The 1990s

Goat song of the 90's

The 2000s

Obviously I couldn't include everything (only relegated to 20 images) and tried to include some of the most iconic.

This is actually pretty hard. I came in prepared to say the 80's but the 90's had straight piff.

 

[MikelArteta]

80s karate kid, breakfast club, adventures in babysitting, back to the future, ferris bueller's day off, sixteen candles, teen wolf, Fast Times at Ridgemont High,

 

[Kingshango]

The 80's.

They don’t even make teen movies anymore

Plus, the answer is the 90s. The 80s may have had movies, but the 90s had movies AND television shows.

 

[Roid Jones]

The 80's and it's not even close

The 90s was the best..had a variety of everything and black teen/coming of age type movies.

The 80s was mainly white boy nerd gains popularity/the popular girl themes- like Fast times at ridgemont high, 3o'clock high, Weird Science and Teen Wolf.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

80’s


“Cryyyy lil sistahhhh”

I'm an 80's baby and biased toward that generation.

But.

The 90's did have..

Encino Man
Cry Baby
Election
Dangerous Minds
A Bronx Tale
Mighty Ducks
Romeo & Juliet (Baz Luhrmann Version)
Camp Nowhere
Fear
Angus
The Sandlot
Never Been Kissed
Mallrats
The Craft
Rushmore
American Beauty
She's All That
The Faculty
Varsity Blues
Friday
Scream
I Know What You Did Last Summer

Some of these are classics....

Exactly. 80's was white upper middle class John Hughes suburbia.

Even School Daze was geared toward a certain middle class/upper middle class black.

90's we started to see more variety and more black movies and black features.

Juice
Menace 2 Society
Friday
Crooklyn
Higher Learning
House Party
Class Act
Boyz in the Hood

I admit I'm still biased to the 80's but if I was being objective, I think the 90's got it.

^^ some of those I didn't think about...like the Kid n Play movies...but I don't consider Friday, Crooklyn, Higher Learning, BINTH, and Menace to be "teen movies" ...I mean you definitely can in some sense., but what makes them different from other teen movies is that they don't really don't focus on high school themes (ie a principle as the villain, HS couple awkward dating scenes/crushes, house parties etc)

I had the same thought but when you think about the black urban experience, late 80's early 90's crack epidemic, rise of hip hop and gang culture, some of the themes in these movies were the unfortunate reality for a good majority of urban black teenagers, which is why I included them. For many of us, our experiences were a world away from John Hughes suburbia. This was my perspective in including them in the teen movie category.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

00s cuz of superbad

Kids was a classic 90's movie too.
