I wouldn't consider any of these 80 Teen Movies. "ET" is a kids' movie. "War Games" is borderline since he did all that to get into a girl's pants, and "Red Dawn" is a war movie (Cold-War movie)

All great movies, but not 80's teen movies (IMO).

When I think of an 80's Teen Movie, I think of it as a movie that pertains to the day to day life of a teenager, no sci-fi, drama, or war.

The only exception to this I would say is "Weird Science", "Teen Wolf" is also pushing the envelope.

Charlie Sheen, young C. Thomas howell, patrick Swayze I think Red Dawn could be considered a teen movie along with the Outsiders.

Matthew Broderick and a video game that almost starts World war 3 also could have been considered a teen movie at that time.
