From West Side Story to Rebel Without a Cause, these 10 teen movies from the past are certified classics!
The teen genre is often associated with certain titles. John Hughes' 80s gems like Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club, '90s hits like Clueless and 10 Hits I Hate About You, and modern classics like Mean Girls and Easy A have come to define the genre for an entire generation.
9 'A Summer Place' Although Delmer Daves is best known as a Western director, he explored other genres, including teen and romantic drama. Such is the case for 1959's A Summer Place, which follows the romance between a mature couple, who once were teenage sweethearts, and the unexpected relationship between their teenage children while on summer vacation.
7 'Boys Town' Spencer Tracy won his second Oscar for his celebrated portrayal of Father Edward J. Flanagan in the 1938 biopic Boys Town. Tracy stars opposite Mickey Rooney, with the film chronicling Flanagan's efforts in Boys Town, the home/educational reformation center he founded to help troubled youths.
A remarkably bleak and disturbing take on the classic coming-of-age story, Lord of the Flies is a sobering teen drama that remains among the best pictures of the 1960s. The large cast of young performers delivers stunning portrayals of desperation, hopelessness, anger, and brutality, crafting a chilling tale of depravity and the inherent cruelty of human nature.
4 'Tea and Sympathy' The mighty Deborah Kerr stars in Vincente Minnelli's 1956 drama Tea and Sympathy. Based on the eponymous 1953 play, the film follows the close relationship between Tom Robinson Lee, a bullied high school student, and Laura Reynolds, the dissatisfied wife of the school's abusive coach.
2 'West Side Story' The timeless story of Tony and Maria remains acclaimed and beloved by critics and audiences. Based on the eponymous 1957 Broadway musical, Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins's West Side Story follows two star-crossed lovers from rival gangs fighting for their relationship amid the escalating conflict.
