We can all remember what it’s like to be a teen, and a big part of our teenage years
were the tv shows and movies that we watched.
Teen movies during the 80s had to ability to make us feel something; whether we laughed,
cried, wanted to rebel, or wanted to fall in love; there’s movies that always brings
us back to our teenage years.
Let’s check out some of these movies with today's list of: Top 10 Best Teen Movies From
The 80's.
10.
Starting off our list at number 10 is Dirty Dancing.
The romantic drama movie came out in 1987 starring a young Jennifer Grey and Patrick
Swayze.
It follows the story of a girl wanting to enjoy her youth while it lasts but ends up
getting stuck a sleepy resort with her parents all summer.
However, she ends up meeting the resort’s dance instructor, Johnny, who takes her on
as his new dancing party.
The rest is pretty much history after that.
We watch two of them fall in love like Romeo and Juliet as her dad forbids her from seeing
him.
You know, the typical 80s teen relationship.
But she’s determined to help him perform this epic last big dance of the summer, and
beyond: Dirty Dancing.
Every girl who went on a vacation after this was expecting to find the love of their life
and dance their way into a fairytale ending.
And let’s also not pretend like we all wanted to start taking dance lessons after that.
To sum it up, this movie was every girls dream.
Guys could’ve lived without it I’m sure.
9.
At number 9 is The Karate Kid.
This 1984 movie had every single kid wanting to be, the next karate kid.
We all started going around our living rooms punching shit and kicking our siblings, acting
like we were a black belt champion.
And if you deny that, you’re lying.
The movie follows a young kid named Daniel who moves to California with his mom but quickly
finds himself the target of a group of bullies who just so happen to take karate classes.
But Daniel one-ups them and becomes friends with Mr. Miyagi, a repairman who just so happens
to be a martial arts master himself.
Only in movies does life work out like that.
We get to see Miyagi take Daniel under his wing and train him to compete against the
brutal Cobra Kai.
The movie was probably the fight club for teens at the time.
The movie has since been re-made but nothing beats the original which is now a cult classic.
8.
Swiping the number 8 spot on our list is Pretty In Pink.
The 1986 movie that was filled with some innocent teen drama and a whole lot of comedy.
Which is like what teens live for; give the tea but make me laugh you know?
The movie follows a group of characters who all go to a high school in Chicago, and naturally,
a girl named Andie is an outcast.
She spends her time hanging out with her older boss from the record store she works at, or
her classmate Duckie who lowkey is in love with her.
But then one of the rich and popular kids from school named Blane, asks Andie out, which
obviously throws the whole school into a spin because it just seems too good to be true.
Regardless, she begins to fall for him but we get to see how difficult it is when they
are both from different social classes.
The movie was rated a 79% on rotten tomatoes so you know that it’s worth watching, although
shame on you if you haven't already.
7.
Taking over our number 7 spot is The Goonies.
You can’t help but fall in love with every kid in this movie; not in like the heart eyes
emoji way, well maybe, but because their characters and friendship are so much fun to watch.
The 1985 movie follows a group of adventurous kids who take on a developing company who
are trying to destroy their home so they can build a country club.
They end up finding an old pirate map in the attic, as one does, so of course they follow
it which leads them to an underground cavern.
They are determined to search for the lost treasure but of course run into a lot of obstacles
along the way.
Watching this as a kid you wanted nothing more than to find a treasure map like this
one in your attic, but I don’t think it would ever be the same unless you were doing
the hunt with the Goonies.
Seriously, I want to be a Goonie.
6.
In at number 6 is Sixteen Candles; the movie that made us all believe in young love, definitely
the best teen romance of all time.
The 1984 movie follows the story of a young girl named Samantha who is facing her 16th
birthday and having some dread about it as it’s overshadowed by her sister’s upcoming
wedding.
She has her eyes and heart set on an older boy named Jake, but she’s scared that her
chastity will be a huge turnoff for the popular senior.
I feel like we’ve heard this story before.
But of course life can never be that simple and there’s a love triangle because nerdy
Ted has a crush on her and he’s the only one who actually gives her attention.
Which she’s not really having.
But without ruining anything if for some reason you haven’t seen it; everything works out
in the end the way it’s supposed to and it’s just filled with a whole lot of innocent
young love.
That’s either an awww moment for you, or ew, gross.
5.
Half way through at number 5 is Back To The Future; an absolute classic.
The 1985 sci-fi movie follows small town teen Marty McFly who travels back to the future
after doing an experiment with his scientist friend Doc Brown.
They travel back to the 50’s in a transformed car and Marty runs into one mission he wants
to complete throughout his experiment.
He runs into a young version of his parents so he must make sure they fall in love or
he will never cease to exist.
But then he runs into the problem of having to return to his own time and save the life
of his good friend Doc Brown.
Shit goes down guys, that’s all I can say.
But if you’ve watched it then you know that already.
The original movie was such a hit that it ended up turning into a series and the 3rd
and last movie came out in 1990.
People are hoping there will be a back to the future 4 and currently there are rumours
flying around that there might be.
Fingers crossed.
4.
Here we are at number 4 with Labyrinth.
I feel sorry for you if this movie wasn’t a part of your childhood.
The 1986 cult classic still gives us the memory of the incredible performance by David Bowie.
The movie follows a teenager named Sarah into this maze where her baby brother got lost
in.
However, it was actually all her fault.
She was babysitting her baby brother Toby but didn’t want to be.
She was reading a book called The Labryinth and ends up wishing out loud that her brother
be taken away by the Goblins, in reference to her book.
Sure enough it happens; so throughout the movie she journey’s through it trying to
find him but along the way runs into a bunch of crazy and weird things; no one could forget
the talking blue haired worm.
In the maze she runs into the goblin king, aka David Bowie.
The maze almost reminds me of a world like Alice in Wonderland, where there’s talking
animals, songs, dance, just weird stuff all around.
But as a kid you loved every second of it.
And some of us might have second guessed wishing our siblings would be taken away.
3.
Alright guys, at number 3 is Beetlejuice.
This 1988 movie is jam packed which huge stars like Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder, Geena Davis,
and Michael Keaton.
The movie is a mix of fantasy and horror so it might have actually scared some of you
as a kid.
Not gunna lie, some parts were a little creepy for me but I was also just a big baby.
The story follows Barbara and Adam Maitland who die in a car accident but find themselves
stuck haunting their country home, unable to leave.
When the Deetzes family buys the home, the Maitlands try and scare them away but aren’t
successful.
Instead, they end up attracting Beetlejuice, which is the rambunctious spirit who becomes
a danger for the Maitlands and Lydia, the teenage daughter of the new family.
You either loved Beetlejuice or you were completely terrified of him.
He definitely puts some life in the after-life lets just say that.
2.
At number 2 is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
The hilarious and dramatic teen movie came out in 1986 and had every teenager wondering
how they could start fooling their principle the way Ferris did.
Throughout the movie we see a teen named Ferris Bueller having an incredible skill at skipping
his classes and getting away with it.
He has plans to make one last skip before his graduation; so he calls in sick and steals
a Ferarri and heads off on a journey through Chicago.
However, his principle has caught on and is on his tail the entire trip, determined to
catch him in the act.
It was so much fun to watch because the majority of us, unless you were one of those teachers
pets, were cheering Ferris on to get away with it one last time.
He was like my hero, skipping class never worked out for me.
Not that I’m encouraging this either- stay in school kids.
1.
Taking our number 1 spot is The Breakfast Club.
I’m not sure if this is surprising to anyone or not but it really shouldn’t be.
Back in 1985 we were blessed with this iconic cult classic which was filled with a mix of
drama and comedy.
Five high school students from different social groups end up in a Saturday detention together
under the power of their principal.
The group includes the rebel named John, the princess Claire, the outcast named Alison,
the nerdy Brian, and Andrew, the jock.
Throughout the movie we see them all share their own stories which makes them see each
other in a whole different light.
By the end of the detention, we are all left questioning whether school will ever be the
same again.
You can’t help but fall in love with the different characters, and also the idea of
a Saturday detention.
Pretty sure it’s illegal but this movie made detention look like so much fun.
Again though, not encouraging you to get yourself a detention.
