Love em or hate em?

Which ones are classics, which ones are crap?


The thing I hate is that often the high school kids look older than me, and I finished high school way back in 2003! Damn old actors.  :x

Depends, cause there are some really good ones, like Saved!, Cruel Intentions, and Mean Girls. Most of them are bad, though.

I'm far from a teen but I like teen movies for some reason but my favorite ones tend to be ones with Julia Stiles in them. I think 10 Things I Hate About You was one of the best of recent years and Save The Last Dance was pretty good too. I also like Mandy Moore movies.

Like some of them, even though I'm not a teen anymore.  But I agree, I always hated how much older they looked than me, though I do look young, no one in my highschool looked that old... the actors in those movies are too old most of the time.

I agree. I still get people asking me how old I am, when I say 19, they say, "really wow! you look 16!"  :roll:

Haha it's the same for me. All the schoolgirls try to look older than they are, and becuase I look my age, people assume I'm younger. The other day I didn't get asked for my ID when buying a drink for the first time, and it made me so happy. (Legal age here is eighteen)*. I get REALLY shitty when people ask if I'm still at school. I finished school when I was 17, and I'll be 20 this week.

I know it's easier for Americans to move to Canada. But eh.... who cares about the drinking age if you can get booze anyway?

haha, so true.  I just take a lil drive to Canada.  Which is super easy when I'm at school (in Buffalo).  It's nice to be legal.

Mandy Moore makes me cry.
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

Almost all of the "blockbuster" teen movies suck, but there are some good ones out there too...like Ghost World, On the Outs, Bully etc.
