Best Decade for Teen Flix????

Poll question: Best Decade for Teen Flix????

Ok, you know you went to them when you were a teen. But looking back, do any of them still hold up? Or were they just products of their times?

1. Didn't have enough room with the 90's--Jane Austen's comeback was with...

...Clueless! But you all know that!

Oh, and we still have Freddy and Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LynneSin]

2. 80's were great for teen flix

But because we had John Hughes doing 'The Breakfast Club' '16 Candles' and all those Brat Pack movies

[theemu]

3. 80s

for The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty in Pink.

Basically, for Molly.

[joeybee12]

4. I didn't include those because I LOATHE John Hughes

Thought people wouldn't vote for the 80's if Molly Ringworm was included!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. I loath Mr. Waters too, but the weird thing is

I married a girl who's a ringer for Ringwald

[joeybee12]

8. I'm sure she's much nicer than Molly, and prettier!

Was at the Oscars during the 80's--outside, watching the stars arrive--and all the stars were very nice waving and posing for the fans, EXCEPT Miss Ringworm! Everybody called to her, but she wouldn't even look their way, then the boo's started--she got a hail of them!

I'm glad she no longer has a career!

5. The '80s fer sure

I was a teen then (class of '86) so maybe I'm biased.

7. Porky's!

80's all the way!

[joeybee12]

9. Just watched Revenge of the Nerds--maybe I should have voted 80's!

It was great--best part was that Anthony Edwards had hair!

[joeybee12]

10. People are voting, but not replying, so this post is simply to keep the

thread alive and get more votes!

11. Porkys, Revenge of the Nerds, Hardbodies, Meatballs, Teenwolf,

Poison Ivy, Private Resort, Ferris Wheel's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, and so on...

And all the gut-wrenching sequels for these movies I could also care less about. Well, maybe Meatballs as I love Bill Murray and the summer camp genre was kinda kinky at the time... Meatballs 2-3 were just plain bad, and for some goofy reason I never looked at 4 even though the point of the movie was to get the main kid to lose his virginity. :eyes: Typical 80s rubbish, er products of their times.

Now "The Graduate" is an all time treasure - even if it is extremely perverse and icky!

13. Teenwolf is being developed into a non-comedy series..

...along the lines of Buffy.

[Khephra]

20. Yet no one mentions that it was done before

There's already been a Teen Wolf series

[joeybee12]

21. I sort of remember that--but I don't recall who was in it!

I know Michael J. Fox was in the first movie, then he was replaced by the older brother on "Valerie" the show whose name changed after Valerie Harper left and sued them! His sister was on Family Ties, but I can't remember her name!

I can't remember anything!

[joeybee12]

19. And Revenge of the Nerds II--Nerds in Paradise!

Just finished watching that--Bradley Whitford--from West Wing, plays the mean Alpha Beta in this one. Wonder if he wants to be reminded of it.

Had an ok body, too.

[wyldwolf]

12. 80s! BAM!

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Last American Virgin
All the John Hughs movies
Say Anything
Some Kind Of Wonderful

[wyldwolf]

14. And I almost forgot - The Lost Boys!

[union_maid]

15. hadda go with the 60s

As Annette and Frankie had started to fade we got "A Hard Day's Night", "Help" and lesser but still worthy movies in that genre, like "Ferry Across the Mersey". Then there was "Wild in the Streets" and "The Trip" just to name a few. It was a veritable smorgasbord of drugs, sex and rock and roll. Also have to give a nod to the juvenile delinquency movies of the fifties. They started the whole teenage thing.

[joeybee12]

16. The 60's are a little before my time--I was a young-un then, BUT

I loved the Frankie and Annette movies on Saturday matinee television! I really thought that that's what it'd be like as a teenager! I couldn't wait!

[PittPoliSci]

17. Frankie and Annette

I'm a sucker for those movies. They're just so much fun. My girlfriend thinks I'm insane for liking them. Oddly enough, so do my parents, who also love them.

[joeybee12]

18. Ever see Pajama Party?

Tommy Kirk as a Martian, and Annette as the human he wants.

Real bad music.

Lots of has-beens: Dorothy Lamour, Elsa Lanchester and Buster Keaton.

Big stars in their time reduced to this! Velmi smutny!
