Top 10 Teen Movies That Changed My Life

Bust out the Jiffy Pop b*tches, we’re about to take a stroll down memory lane.

Movies aren’t always just entertainment, and though these films seemed like harmless teen flicks at the time, I see clearly now that they’ve truly effected my maturation into adulthood. Plus, they’re awesome.

1. CAN’T HARDLY WAIT

To this day, I still have a girl crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. I mean, who didn’t want to be her when this move came out? Plus, Ethan Embry = adorable and Lauren Ambrose = truly kick ass.

2. SHE’S ALL THAT

Anytime a overly attractive person hits on me, I’m convinced it was a bet.

3. SCREAM

I still sleep with the light on because of this flick. Plus, it was hilarious while also being bloody. Which I think is kind of awesome. Kinda. …Mostly just scary.

4. CRUEL INTENTIONS

Writing in your journal and acting creepy makes even the lamest of folks look ultra cool. You know what also makes you look cool? Practicing girl on girl smooching in FULL VIEW of other people. Oh and FYI, rich kids are f*cked up.

5. DAZED AND CONFUSED

It’s okay to smoke the ganga. Everyone’s doing it. Especially Matthew McConaughey (and when was the last time this guy did something wrong?).

6. BASKETBALL DIARIES

Just kidding, drugs are bad.

7. SAY ANYTHING

“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel is EPIC. I play it on repeat while daydreaming about becoming Mrs Cusak. Even though he’s like 40-something these days, I’d still hit it.

8. CLUELESS

“Surfing the crimson wave” is still, hands down, the best excuse for anything.

9. AMERICAN PIE

Stay away from horny boys and webcams and band camp. ALSO, it’s okay to be a MILF. …And f*ck a pie.

10. THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Even though we may look different, even the most unlikely characters share similarities. Oh, and Cap’n'Crunch sandwiches are delish.

    Never Been Kissed! Such a classic funny 90’s movie. Center Stage, Save the Last Dance, and Drive Me Crazy were some good ones too.

    10 Things I Hate About You ought to be up there, replacing She’s All That. And whatever happened to Dirty Dancing?

    definitely 10 Things I Hate About You and Save The Last Dance…and also Empire Records, for another awesome movie, especially if you like Ethan Embry or Rory Cochrane (Dazed and Confused)
