80's teen movies
4
Can't honestly rate a 'three' or a 'four.' Excluding some obvious titles, a representative list of movies for me might be: 'Fame' (Irene Cara); 'Summer Lovers' (Peter Gallagher, Daryl Hannah); 'The Outsiders' (C. Thomas Howell, Diane Lane); 'Valley Girl' (Deborah Forman, Nicholas Cage); 'Rumble Fish' (C. Thomas Howell, Diane Lane, Nicholas Cage); 'All the Right Moves' (Tom Cruise, Lea Thompson); 'War Games' (Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy); 'Streets of Fire' (Michael Paré;, Diane Lane); 'Cloak and Dagger' (Henry Thomas, Dabney Coleman); 'Birdy' (Mathew Modine, Nicholas Cage); 'Racing With the Moon' (Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Elizabeth McGovern); 'Sixteen Cadles' (Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall); 'No Small Affair' (Jon Cryer, Demi Moore); 'Tank' (C. Thomas Howell); 'Footloose' (Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Chris Penn, Sarah Jessica Parker); 'The Hitcher' (C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh); 'Short Circuit' (Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy); 'Red Dawn' (C. Thomas Howell, Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey); 'Pretty in Pink' (Molly Ringwald, John Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader, Andrew DICE Clay); 'Dirty Dancing' (Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey); 'Mischief' (Doug McKeon, Kelly Preston, Jamie Gertz); 'Quicksilver' (Kevin Bacon, Jamie Gertz; Paul Rodriguez); 'The Lost Boys' (Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland); 'Less Than Zero' (Andrew McCarthy, Jamie Gertz, Robert Downey Jr, James Spader); 'Some Kind of Wonderful' (Eric Stolz, Mary Stuart Marterson, Craig Sheffer, Lea Thompson);and, for good measure, 'Turk 182' (Timothy Hutton), not all of which make the grade, either, but, IMHO, were THERE for the generation coming of age.
