Grab your Uggs, we're getting nostalgic.
If your teenage years felt like one never-ending emotional rollercoaster, you are certainly not alone. Growing up from an annoying little kid into the charming, bright adult you are today is a *process,* and sometimes, that process gets ugly. At times, it can feel like every little thing has the power to make or break the entire world as you know it. Hormones are running hiiiiiiiigh. So really, it’s no wonder that the Hollywood Gods have used this dramatic/confusing/embarrassing period in all of our lives as material for a whole slew of movies.
Relive the "glory" "days" (lol) of all your high school drama, unrequited crushes, and the ups and downs of friendships with the greatest teen movies of all time. (Psst! If you're really only in it for the nostalgic high school feels, get your eyeballs over to this movie list .) Now go ahead and toss a big bag of popcorn in the microwave, grab your favorite pair of ratty leggings, Uggs, and your ol' Motorola Razr to set the mood, and get ready to be transported back to your younger years.
Meeting a Liam Hemsworth lookalike over summer break is my forever dream. I'd be remiss not to mention that this is the very project that sparked the on-again-off-again Miley Cyrus-Liam Hemsworth relationship.
An especially fitting watch for our social-distancing times. Stella (Haley Lu Richardson) and Will (Cole Sprouse) fall for each other while in the hospital, but because they both have cystic fibrosis, they have to avoid physical contact.
If you spent your high school years being a total bookworm and snagging allllll of the As, then you'll hardcore relate to this movie, Olivia Wilde's directorial debut. After grinding away for four years, Molly and Amy want one night of wild high school fun—and let me tell ya, they get it .
There's no shortage of romantic/tragic teen movies, and if you're looking for a heart-wrenchingly emotional time, this is it. The movie, based on the John Greene novel by the same name, follows the story of Hazel and Augustus, two teens with cancer who meet and fall in love.
Speaking of tragic, A Walk to Remember is one of the OG Nicholas Sparks novels-turned-movies, and if it doesn't have you sitting in a puddle of your own tears by the end, then you've got to be made of stone. No spoilers but Mandy Moore and Shane West co-star.
This movie's comforting like a big warm hug, or, ahem, an old pair of jeans. I was always more of a Lena but secretly wanted to be a Bridget, but then again, didn't we all?
If you thought you were wild as a teen, just watch these high schoolers break into celebrity houses and steal all their verrryyy expensive stuff. Did I mention this movie is based on 100% real events? Emma Watson fans, bookmark this one.
Name one thing you would find more disgusting when you were a teenager than your best friend dating your older brother... Literally nothing. And poor Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) has gotta deal with it.
A classic! After 16-year-old Juno finds out she's pregnant, she takes on the anything-but-easy task of trying to find adoptive parents for her baby-to-be. And things go, shall we say, less than totally smooth.
When Hal, a 15-year-old student with a stutter joins the debate team, he falls for the team's star debater (played by a young Anna Kendrick). A solid coming-of-age story that you probably haven't seen yet.
As if high school wasn't complicated enough, Simon is also dealing with being closeted while someone blackmails him, threatening to out him to the whole school. At the same time, he's trying to figure out the identity of the classmate he's fallen in love with online. A cutie, through and through.
How do you make the classic Cinderella story even better? You make Chad Michael Murray the Prince Charming, duh.
Getting paid to be people's fake date seems like a great way to make money for college until *gasp* you develop feelings for one of those people. Nobody saw that one coming, I swear!
Mean Girls is basically the Bible of teen movies. An anthropological (and hilarious) study on the intricate dynamics of friendships in high school. Also, importantly, there's LiLo.
Newspaper copywriter Josie Geller (Drew! Barrymore!) goes undercover at her old high school to research modern teenage culture. And things are going great (she infiltrates the popular group, brag) until she starts to fall for the dreamy English teacher.
You ever try to find your estranged father in England and discover he's a rich Lord who had no idea you existed? Yeah, me neither.
It might not be everyone's adolescent experience to find out that the hottie in biology class is actually a vampire, but it sure is fun watching a young Kristen Stewart figure it out. Bella + Edward 4ever.
Repeat after me: There is nothing. more iconic. than. "nobody puts Baby in the corner." Well, except for maybe that lift during the dance sequence at the end of the movie, but that's about it.
In a pretty idyllic Detroit suburb in the '70s, a group of boys become fascinated with the five beautiful Lisbon sisters who are sheltered by their strict, religious parents. Directed by Sofia Coppola, this movie is both visually stunning and deeply tragic.
If you're a sucker for a great makeover movie, then watching Zach Siler (aka Freddie Prince Jr.) turn outcast Laney into the school's next prom queen is exactly what the doctor ordered.
You know that classic image of John Cusack standing on the lawn with a boombox, blasting "In Your Eyes?" Yeah, that's this movie! And it's dripping with delightfully unhinged '80s charm.
Come for the catchy-as-hell cheers and stay for the high-stakes drama between rival squads. Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union are both ::chef's kiss::

The best movies for teens make you do both.
In these times, we're no longer looking for prestige viewing. It's too upsetting. What most of us long for is a big comfort-watch. And there's nothing more comforting than a swoony, cringey, hilarious teen movie. It's hard to pin down why these movies are so comforting. Maybe it’s because emotions during that age are so raw and powerful, they leave an impression, even years later. Maybe it’s because the first blush of love is always the strongest. Or maybe it’s because teenagers have absolutely no filter so the filthiest jokes come out of their mouths.
The best teen movies on Netflix do some of these, if not all. Whether you want a heart-tugging romantic movie , an awkward cringe comedy, an all-encompassing melodrama or a movie that uses high school as a metaphor for society at large, Netflix has a teen movie that’ll fit the bill. (Especially for those romantic comedy fans: With movies like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before , Dude , Candy Jar and The Kissing Booth , Netflix has swept all corners of the rom-com.) Hey, you can even find a teen sci-fi movie with elements of time-travel in there. Just remember, as you think back to your days of acne and locker combinations, what it took to make it through to the other side and into your adulthood.
After The Kissing Booth turned out to be such an unexpected hit, a sequel was inevitable. This time, Elle still has to juggle her relationships with boyfriend Noah and best-friend Lee, all while college decisions loom. A third movie is reportedly in the works , filmed secretly back-to-back with this one.
For something that skews closer to melodrama, this movie, based on the novel by Jennifer Niven, follows two troubled teenagers who embark on a romance when they're assigned to work on a school project together. But are their feelings enough to overcome their personal issues?
Lara Jean, romantic heroine of To All the Boys I've Loved Before , has to navigate the ins and outs of her first real relationship — which gets even more complicated when a new boy enters the mix who may be an even better match for her.
Two teenage girls strike up a new friendship. The catch? One is the new girlfriend of the other's ex, and they carry on the friendship behind his back as if it's an affair.
Football-player Paul enlists Ellie, who makes money on the side by writing essays for other students, to write a love letter to a classmate named Aster Flores. The only problem? Ellie's in love with Aster, too.
It's a teen movie ... with a little bit of time travel. Two high school prodigies crack the ability to travel through time, though one of them uses it to try and change a traumatic event in her past, with consequences for the present.
Noah Centineo, Netflix's favorite heartthrob, stars as someone who offers his services as a fake date to earn money for college. Of course, real feelings get involved. Camila Mendez co-stars as Shelby, the snobby girl he thinks is out of his league, but wants to win over.
By now, you probably know the tale of Lara Jean, whose meddling sister mails personal letters to her all-time top-five crushes. But this is the movie that first gave Noah Centineo to the world, so there is absolutely no harm in watching it again.
Four friends make a bunch of ill-advised decisions during the last two weeks of high school — not that any of us would know anything about that. Lucy Hale, Awkwafina, Kathryn Prescott and Alexandra Shipp star in this story of teens acting out.
Or was this the movie that gave us Noah Centineo? Here, he plays Jamey, another sensitive heartthrob, this time opposite the shy and unpopular Sierra (Shannon Purser from Stranger Things ). Sierra gets involved in a Cyrano de Bergerac -style situation where she starts a relationship with Jamey — except he thinks her phone number belongs to someone else. How long can she keep up the mistaken identity?
Two ultra-competitive debate champs get thrown for a loop when when they have to stop facing off against each other and — uh-oh! — work on the same team. This movie is for anyone who loves rivals-turned-friend stories, like You've Got Mail or 10 Things I Hate About You .
Like so many teenagers before him, Alex Truelove in a love triangle of his own. Only this time, he can't decide between Claire, his longtime best friend (as per usual) — or a boy named Elliot.
If you're in the mood for something about self-love, this movie follows the plus-size teen (Danielle Macdonald), the daughter of a former beauty queen (Jennifer Aniston), who signs up for a beauty pageant to spite her mother — only to realize she's inspired others to try out, too.
Though Netflix famously doesn't release its box-office numbers, when this movie came out the company's Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, told Vulture this was “ one of the most-watched movies in the country , and maybe in the world.” Perhaps its simple love-triangle setup is why it's so popular: It follows best-friends Elle and Lee (Joey King and Joel Courtney) as their relationship changes as they get older — and Elle develops a crush on Lee's brother (Jacob Elordi).
When their mom goes to jail, Deidra and Laney hatch a heist plan to keep them out of foster care. While that sounds like a dour setup for a movie, it's actually a comedy! And it's made all the better by a performance from Ashleigh Murray, a.k.a Josie from Riverdale .
Some movies have a romanticized view of the teenage years — Lady Bird does not. Instead, it follows a high school senior as she flounders through her last year of high school, trying to navigate her relationships with boys, old friends, new friends and her mother.
For something with a more supernatural bent, this movie follows the Groundhog Day-style template, where the protagonist has to live the same day over and over. This time, Zoey Deutch plays a mean girl who re-lives the day she dies in a car crash. Can she learn the error of her ways and end the loop?
This film follows an awkward teenage prodigy who, after she graduates Harvard (naturally), spends most of her life in her apartment, until a friend makes her a to-do list. The items on it? Make a friend, get a pet, find a job and so on. Everyone who's putting off adulting can relate.
This Irish film follows a young outcast at a sports-obsessed boarding school whose luck starts to turn around when he unexpectedly bonds with the school's star rugby player. Things get rough, though, when the homophobic atmosphere of the school starts to strain their friendship.
Parents who were around in the '80s remember Jem as a truly, truly, truly outrageous cartoon, but this movie is all live-action, with a more today bent about what it's like to deal with overnight stardom. It was directed by Jon M. Chu, who also did Crazy Rich Asians and a couple of the Step Up movies.
Based on the beloved novel by Stephen Chbosky (who also directed the movie), Perks is a swoony tale of first love, fitting in and mix tapes.
In this graphic novel adaptation, arrested adolescent Scott Pilgrim wants to date Ramona Flowers — but first he has to defeat her seven evil exes. After the battles, can he learn what goes into a real relationship?
Amanda Bynes stars as an American who heads to London in search of the father she's never met, only to find out he's part of the aristocracy. Can she be accepted by him — and get him to lighten up? This is great for those looking for a shot of early-'00s nostalgia.
If you like your teen movies to be of the weepy variety, this one promises to make you break out the tissues. In it, Mandy Moore plays a good girl who strikes up a romance with a rebellious teen after she's assigned to tutor him.
After watching all these teen movies, you've certainly discovered a bunch of tropes used over and over again in teen movies. This parody film makes fun of all the clichés while referencing some of the most famous tee
