re: For you 40+ old farts, What's the GOAT 80's Teen Movie, or your Top 5?

quote:

Back to the Future has four main characters who are teenagers, there are all sorts of teen shenanigans, and the big finale is at the high school dance. I can see how it would be borderline but I think you could make a good argument that it is a teen movie.

Only reason I don't consider it a 80's Teen Movie, is I consider the 80's Teen Movie pertained to a teenager's life in the 80's, not time travel back to the 50's.

Another honorable mention I would to include:

"Better Off Dead"

$2!!!!

Edit:

By my own definition, I wouldn't consider "Lost Boys" or "Porky's" as 80's Teen Movies. Lost Boy's is Horror/Sci-Fi and Porky's is set in the 50's like Back to the Future
