Teenagers. What a bunch of [assorted unkind words]. Ok ok, so maybe they aren't that bad. After all, we were all their age once. We've all experienced the good times (I've got a date!) and the bad (I've got zi👍ts, a bad haircut, and no date). Teen movies🙈 tend to portray both of these extremes, highlighting the everyday struggles of the nerdy outcast and/or the lifetime highs of the popular jock. It's just like real life! Except the main cast are always about 43 years older than they ought to be, and everyone gets a cracking personal soundtrack, the lucky buggers. This list covers the very best of these teenaged dreams.

25. Risky Business (1983)

With his parents away and the mounting pressures of college interviews and finals, Tom Cruise's Joel decides to call up a prostitute. To alleviate those pressures, presumably. Things spiral out of control pretty fast as the hooker with a heart of gold moves int🤡o his house, turning his parents pristine abode into a makeshift brothel. Parties ensue, naturally, and life lessons are learned in an oddly dark way. And, like all ‘80s teen movies, Risky Business incl🍌udes a montage. This one has Cruise parading around his house in a white shirt, socks, and Ray-bans. He manages to look way cooler than most actual teenagers.
