Last night, P told me that he watched "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" with M since she had not seen it. That started a discussion about essential teen movies, especially eighties pop culture moments. We came up with a short list, but did we make any serious omissions? It was promising to know that M has NOT seen Street Trash or any of the Tromaville series.
Sixteen Candles
Better off Dead
Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Those were the big ones. Here are some more, but not as high caliber.
Pretty in Pink
Weird Science
Valley Girl
Here is a suggestion to understand what we thought was cool growing up in DTW
Purple Rain (Purple Rain is friggin' hilarious, it is really bad with a slammin' sountrack)
Breakin'
We need to come up a with list of great movies of the last 25 years too.
