I was no longer a teen, but some of you were...

 

and one of my ALL TIME FAVS:

 

FULL METAL JACKET

Quote:I'm sure you can find a nice picture of him on the internet...while you read the book.

 

edit:  FYI, you won't find any pictures of him that are very recent...at least for your sake I hope you don't.



:blink:
Pretty much any Tarantino movie from the 90s.

 

Oh and of course Friday

The Sandlot

Forrest Gump

Captain Ron


Those are the ones that come to mind.
Again, this does not fall in my teen years...but why has nobody mentioned:?

 

Office Space

Quote:If I can't SEE him...it ain't gonna work!!
 

Like he said, you have to believe it's there.

 

Like the entrance to Hogwarts... or the fourth... ah, this is a family board.
As a big Hunter fan , Fear And Loathing was probably the most watched film of my teens.
Red Dawn

Someone mentioned The Wraith earlier. That's such an awesome 80's flick. I hate the ending though. It's kind of sad when he hands the Turbo over to his brother. And he knows it's him and he runs out of the burger place all like "Jaimmeeeeeeeeee..... come back man!". Right in the feels dude. 

Dazed and Confused.


Party at the moon tower!
Not sure about a single favorite from my teens, but here's a few of the ones that made an impact for me:


The Karate Kid

Rambo

The Terminator

Scarface

Videodrome
Some that come to mind..

 

Close Encounters

The Neighbors (Belushi's last film, IIRC)

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The China Syndrome

Rocky
Quote:When I was a teenager, my parents had a satellite dish when they basically first came out back in the late 70s/early 80s...and let's just say, there was no such thing as "Parental Controls" back then.  I watched a lot of movies I wasn't supposed to be watching.
 

Was there color back then or just black and white?
I was 14 when I saw The Godfather, and have not seen a better movie since.  My favorite of all time, hands down.

 

Other notables from my teen years:

 

Taxi Driver

The Godfather II

The French Connection

The Conversation

Rocky

Jaws

Apocalypse Now!

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Deliverance

 

And so on...

 

The 70s was a golden era for movies.

That's a lot of depressing movies...lol

The Godfather was another great one that I forgot (though technically I wasn't quite a teenager when it came out).

Yeah, I guess they are. I tend to like movies that focus on the darker side of human nature.

However, the movies that you listed are all very good movies.  Hollywood doesn't put out movies like those these days.
Coming To America was the one that got the most long term laughs in my high school years. My friends and I quoted it often. 

 

But the favorite movie of my teens was usually any movie at the theater that I didn't actually see much of -  because I was there with a young lady whose usually peerless moral character was susceptible to tarnish when in a poorly lit room filled with the aroma of buttered popcorn and Drakkar Noir.
