All Time Best Teen 2 2021
👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻
It seems that every year another fresh crop of filmmakers make their debut movies, and a high proportion are coming-of-age stories. A sadly low percentage, however, are any good, which is why this week brings us significant reason to rejoice: First-time filmmaker Kelly Fremon Craig brings us the adorable, sprightly “The Edge Of Seventeen.” In many ways this year’s “The Diary Of A Teenage Girl” in being both the debut of an exciting new female filmmaker and a funny, fresh, newly insightful take on the teen-movie genre, ‘Seventeen’ perhaps does not reinvent the wheel in the way that Marielle Heller‘s film did, but it’s such a bouncy picture, centered around such a tremendously relatable turn from Hailee Steinfeld, that to disparage it as a result would be a little like critiquing a puppy. If you’re looking for an escape this weekend, this film is pretty much the breezy antithesis to the sorry state the world’s currently in, and may even prove to be an antidote… for a couple of hours, anyway.
Certainly, it dispelled the gloom for us for a little while, and so we thought we’d take this opportunity to bring you our 50 favorite teen movies of all time. Of course, this being us, our picks are not all sweet confections — while many are lighthearted comedies, quite a few are dramas and melodramas that portray the darker side of teenage life as well as its romantic mix-ups and fashion faux pas. We tried to avoid films that fall more squarely into other genres, like horror (a category largely populated with imperiled teenagers), sci-fi and others, but as ever, our selections mostly came down to our subjective taste. Which, thankfully, is fetch.
50. “William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet” (1996)
A film that made “lovefools” of every ’90s teenager, Baz Luhrmann‘s excessive, overblown-yet-gauzy take on Shakespeare‘s star-cross’d lovers is loathed by the Bard’s purists. But in many ways, it captures the spirit of the play — the swoony extremism of first love as felt by two people at literally the most dramatic, hormonal moment of their lives ever — better than many more staid, respectful adaptations. The frenetic cutting, odd angles and swooping camera moves of Lurhmann’s inventive music-video style can feel juvenile, but this is a film about juveniles, and if you’re willing to be a little iconoclastic with the text, it works. It’s aided by a wonderfully fresh and affecting Claire Danes, a major heartthrob turn from a pre-“Titanic” Leonardo DiCaprio, an era-defining soundtrack and that all-time-great fish-tank meet-cute.
49. “Dope” (2015)
Rick Famuyiwa‘s bright, ingratiating tale of a geeky teenager’s coming of age is a refreshingly counterintuitive take on black masculinity, though far from flawless. Co-opting the formula of the (usually white-coded) teen movie and incorporating stereotypical markers of urban blackness — drug deals, shoot-outs, excessive use of the n-word — makes for a mixed bag. Most egregious are the paper-thin supporting characters, like Tony Revolori‘s underdeveloped sidekick, and especially the females: Kiersey Clemons‘ lesbian friend; Zoe Kravitz‘s cool girl; Chanel Iman‘s disaster-prone dim-bulb. But Shameik Moore’s lovely hangdog central performance, the catchy Pharrell Williams soundtrack and the earnest, if blinkered, good intentions somehow make it fly. If teen movies are time capsules of their eras, perhaps the lasting value of “Dope” will be as a glimpse of the always-mythic but now dead-and-buried dream of a post-racial America.
48. “Bring It On” (2000)
A given movie about cheerleaders could be a “Step Up”-style dance movie at best, or some kind of softcore exploitation picture at worst. But Peyton Reed’s “Bring It On” is a delight. Following the battle between a mostly white San Diego cheerleading squad led by Torrance (Kirsten Dunst), and a mostly black L.A. team whose moves their rivals had stolen in previous years, the film hits most of the expected sports-movie beats, but with a sly script by Jessica Bendinger, winning performances, great choreography and a deceptively smart and forward-thinking examination of white privilege.
47. “Ginger & Rosa” (2012)
The most accessible film from British arthouse darling Sally Potter is also her most overtly personal, detailing a close friendship between two London girls against a backdrop of 1960s social unrest and nuclear paranoia. Its emotional heart, in the bond between the young girls played by a revelatory Elle Fanning and a terrific Alice Englert (with Fanning’s ‘Neon Demon‘ co-stars Christina Hendricks and Alessandro Nivola also great in support), beats steadily throughout, allowing various digressions and sidetracks to occur without disrupting the film’s leisurely but authentic rhythms. It’s a deeply absorbing portrait of dawning social awareness and political activism, happening in tandem with childhood’s end, the revelation of parental fallibility and the painful truth that the changes we experience at that age can create a schism between us and the people we thought we’d love forever.
46. “Superbad” (2007)
Unlike the other movies here, “Superbad” has the virtue of having been written, at least to begin with, by actual teenagers: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg began work on the script when they were just 13, and were encouraged to complete it by Judd Apatow during the production of “Freaks & Geeks.” It didn’t reach screens until 2007, but when it did, it proved a very fresh, funny take on the coming-of-age sex picture, as Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) endure a long night in the attempt to bring booze to a party where the girls of their dreams will be. Crude but smart, infused with the deep awkwardness of being an actual teenager, and given some ’70s flair by director Greg Mottola, it was a huge hit, and with good reason.
45. “Mean Creek” (2004)
While the phrase “teen movie” tends to call the quotable, pastel-colored likes of “Clueless” to mind, there is a whole other subset that takes a less literally rose-tinted view of the process of a growing up. In the tradition of 1986’s even darker “River’s Edge,” and last year’s excellent “Sleeping Giant,” this 2004 Jacob Estes film is an anti-“Stand By Me,” taking a nuanced look at teen bullying and weaving a small, perfectly performed tragedy around it. Rory Culkin is excellent as always, but Josh Peck is remarkable too (yes, of “Drake and Josh” fame — he’s just one of several kids’ TV stars in this Independent Spirit Award-winning ensemble) in the tricky role of a bully lured to the woods to be taught a lesson, but who gradually becomes the film’s most abject and pitiable character.
44. “The Craft” (1996)
While it never quite breaks into the all-time upper echelons, Andrew Fleming‘s inarguably enjoyable and recently reappraised high-school-coven cautionary tale understands one thing better than pretty much every teen movie ever made: The witchiness of mid-’90s Fairuza Balk was a natural resource that no one could tap enough. As the ringleader of the gang of four outcast teen schoolgirls who discover they have magical occult powers, including Neve Campbell‘s wallflower, Rachel True‘s bullying victim and Robin Tunney‘s troubled new girl, Balk is a force of (super)nature here, though the film doesn’t quite know what to do with her. Still, even without her deeply awesome weirdness, “The Craft” is a lot of fun in a wish-fulfillment-followed-by-‘be-careful-what-you-wish-for’ kind of way.
43. “An Education” (2009)
Providing an unmistakable breakout role for Carey Mulligan, “An Education” might be set against a now-archaic backdrop of 1960s gender politics, but the wincing acuity with which the very personal story is told makes it feel timelessly relevant. Based on Lynn Barber‘s scathingly intimate memoir essay, given a peppy screenplay adaptation by Nick Hornby and a smooth glossy finish by Lone Scherfig‘s lovely visuals, the film is absorbing, immersive, and strangely modern, despite the lead character’s often regressive behavior, in its portrayal of her as a rounded, complicated and often very unlikable heroine. Peter Sarsgaard is strong in the kind of worldly sleazebag role he does so well, and Alfred Molina is even better as the uncomprehending patriarch, but this is Mulligan’s film, and she makes you understand every weather-vane change her impossibly real character goes through.
42. “The Diary Of A Teenage Girl” (2015)
A surprising number of films that made our list are set in past decades — whether out of nostalgia, or to give the movie some pretty period-accurate window dressing, or because distance lends perspective, or because the the story is based in autobiography. A little of all of these elements is present in Marielle Heller‘s 1970s-set sleeper indie from last year — Heller had already adapted and starred in a theatrical version of Phoebe Gloeckner‘s graphic novel of the same name, and so obviously she knew the spiky, filthy story inside out. Also, its setting during the heyday of second-wave feminism gives its very third-wave outlook some fascinating context, all brought to a head in Bel Powley‘s breakout performance as the self-centered, sex-obsessed protagonist, a brilliantly specific mix of so many teenage traits — good, bad and disgusting — that are universal.
41. “Easy A” (2010)
The film that took Emma Stone from supporting player in “Superbad” and “The House Bunny” to leading lady and most likely an Oscar winner, “Easy A” came out of nowhere as a disarming and utterly winning teen romance. Riffing, curiously but effectively, on “The Scarlet Letter,” Will Gluck’s film (written by Bert V. Royal) sees 17-year-old Olive (Stone) lie about losing her V-card and become a target for her school’s Christian right (led by an unexpectedly hilarious Amanda Bynes), only to end up embracing her new reputation. It’s sharp, funny and sweet, but also unexpectedly wise about female sexuality, double standards and bullying mobs, all carried by a performance of Lucille Ball-level comic greatness by Stone (and the single best parents in all of teen movie-dom, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson).

Just my prediction of what I think will be the best films of 2021. Because why the hell not in this time. Seriously 2021 seems like where movie life will get back together. Because holy crap who would have thought this would be happening 3 months ago. At least we do have some big movies coming out in 2021.
R | 242 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
I don’t know how to put into words how awesome this is. I have been arguing with people saying the Snyder Cut is real it is out there and Zack will finish what he started. And here it is baby.- Before seeing it.
Now after fully seeing it, I only have one problem- that it is I wish it was longer. Naw I’m kidding, he does over due the slow motion and the music video aspect at times. And even some lines are a little cheesy. But other than that holy crap this is the movie that really made me go I’m watching something special here. It is amazing from start to finish because I haven’t been this amazed by anything on this scale in a long time. I also got to say these are my heroes. These fools do not mess around which I love. I have to say that these actors are acting. I know that’s what they are supposed to do but I’m serious time after time I was believing in their performances in how much weight this all is. From Cyborg to Wonder Woman to hell even Flash with that end fight. He is amazing in that finally fight. Cyborg of course is more fleshed out and we even see him in human form which makes you realize just how much he lost. He goes through an incredible arc that any person with a brain will go stupid why was this cut out. I can go on and on about what this movie accomplishes but truly it resonated with me in how emotional I got watching a movie about superheroes. It makes me so happy to see Zack finish what he started. It is beautiful. 10/10
R | 126 min | Biography, Drama, History
This film does so much right. The performances are all fantastic, director Shaka King masters whatever obstacle is thrown at him, and last this ending hits you like a ton of bricks harder than any ending probably will this year. But the second half of this movie feels rushed to get to that emotional ending that does take its time. Fred Hampton was 21 when he died and I’m sorry but Daniel Kaluuya looks old in his last moments. It was a little distracting. But I was buying his age up until that point. The movie does so much right but gets a little wrong here and there. This movie still rocks and moves at a brisk pace it is just there something missing. Maybe more time but even might have felt tagged on or forced. Still one of the best movies this year. 9/10
I am counting it has a 2021 movie but anyway just like Nomadland and Judas and the Black Messiah this does deserve to be nominated for best picture. I have no complaints for it being there or if it took any other films spot. But I still think if this film which takes place all in one flat, for the most part, can get nominated for categories like: picture, editing, acting, and screenplay they maybe One Night in Miami should have gotten more love. Nevertheless this movie is terrific and terrifying in the best way possible for its depiction of someone getting sick. I mean the movie never states what Anthony medically is diagnosed with but we clearly see him getting ill. It is not a pleasant watch but it is something important everyone should watch because this is as raw and real and close without actually experiencing something like this in person. Which I don’t wish on anyone. 9/10
I guess I do have to count this as a 2021 movie but screw it this whole award season has fucked everything up. No matter what this movie came out in it is an amazing and interesting look on how people can cope with living. Not just after tragedy but just tired of how this life has beaten us down. Not everyone does this because they don’t have anyone look at David a character who has a son who loves him and even gives a place to stay. Even tho I have to say some topics are a little half baked but even at an hour and 40 minutes I never felt this movie drag. Even tho a lot of people may call this movie boring I never did. I fell in love with movie with more and more time passes. What totally won me over is that last conversation this movie has about accepting lost and moving on without that person you love. God damn this movie hits hard. 9/10
PG | 107 min | Animation, Action, Adventure
What an amazing film. Not just an animation film, an action film, or even a fantasy film but an overall great movie. It has beat for beat other similarities from other properties and yes predictable in some parts, but holy crap this has been missing in a lot of recent films. A three act structure that moves quickly and entertaining enough for everyone to enjoy. Characters that matter and are not there just to serve as the butt of the joke, but an overall message I can see generations can get behind. It is a lot of fun to be had here and it is as important and beautiful as any animation film has come across in recent memory. Stories like this and especially films like this scream out that animation is not just for kids. Sure you do have you side kicks and your physical gags that can be amusing for younger audiences. But just like all great fantasy stories this hits on all cylinders. By giving you characters you actually want to succeed and support. Let me reiterate you want these characters to win. You want this story to continue. Most importantly you understand all the motivation so it comes off more organically with an ending that is really emotional that I didn’t see coming. Disney has been getting a lot shit lately, with the Mulan debacle, to it as a company, Star Wars, hell to even this being a $30 rental. But this didn’t feel like a studio mandate to hurry up and cash in on the Asian rise. It feels more respected in many ways certainly more than any other Disney film in the past. So I love it. 9/10
It does look really good. And I like both actors including Sam Levison who is a pretty good director. And the black and white cinematography really does make me want to see this film more.- (Before I saw this movie.)
Z day has a third act monologue that is amazing. It floored me. I’ll be honest I like both these actors but I was hesitant to sit and watch only two of them for the whole movie. I have to say I’m glad I did. The only reason why that monologue works is because the first two acts are building blocks for that scene. Just the whole ending won me over. I love the last shot and the unfolding of the argument is handled so well that it captivated me to keep watching. I looked at my phone once while this was playing and put it back down
