]]>The Plot: Andie (Molly Ringwald) is a social outcast thanks to the prominent class divide in her school. Her best friend is in love with her but she wants rich kid Blane.
Why We Love It:The scene when Duckie (Jon Cryer) dances to Otis Reading in the record store and the sassy attitude and all round loveliness of Molly Ringwald.
The Plot: Samantha (Molly Ringwald) is pining for an older guy in the run-up to her sixteenth birthday.
Why We Love It: “That’s why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they’d call them something else.” Still one of the truest lines from any teenager movie.
The Plot: Eight-year-old Kevin gets left alone when his parents go on holiday. He soon realizes that burglars are trying to break in while his parents are gone and devises a series of traps to get rid of them.
Why We Love It: It’s funny, charming and we are rooting for Kevin from start to finish.
The Plot: An athlete, a princess, a basket case and a criminal all end up in detention and learn that they’re not that different after all.
Why We Love It: It’s a feel-good movie that teaches high school kids that we all have something in common once you look beneath the surface. Also, that final scene is iconic.
The Plot: Ferris Bueller decides to skip his day in school and embark on an adventure.
Why We Love It: It will make you smile all the way through and reminds us the importance of slowing down every now and then to enjoy being alive. “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

]]>Lady Bird
This year’s Lady Bird tells the story of an edgy teen trying to find her way through adolescence while retaining her unapologetic individuality.
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, Perks of Being a Wallflower is a beautifully believable and heartwarming movie about a group of misfits fighting their individual battles, but coming together as a group in the US in the 90’s.
Almost Famous
William Miller runs off with a rock ‘n’ roll band when he’s 15 to pursue his passion for music journalism. The best bit about his journey? He actually calls in to check on his mom and manages to live the rock ‘n’ roll dream without giving into the temptation of alcohol or drugs.
16 Candles
Molly Ringwald stars as a love-stricken teenager in this John Hughes classic.
Adventureland
One final summer and one impossible-to-get mysterious girl. It’s everything a classic coming-of-age movie needs.
Sing Street
Cosmo accidentally starts a band to get the attention of Raphina, the aloof model that stands outside his school waiting for someone to notice her. The soundtrack alone makes this movie worth the watch.
Moonlight
Last year’s Oscar winner and a powerful tale of adolescence and adulthood.
Dazed and Confused
We couldn’t not put it on here. It’s one of the most quotable movies of all time and it’s full of high school nostalgia.
Ferris Buller’s Day Off
The feel good movie of the last century.
Love, Simon
This year’s most recent coming-of-age story, which for the first time in mainstream media revolves around the life of a gay teen. Emotional, uplifting and one of the best movies of the year so far.
