What are the movies you think that every teenager should see or have seen?

Answer 1

To Kill a Mockingbird
Across Five Aprils (1990)
The Secret Garden (1993)
Rebel Without a Cause
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
My Bodyguard
To Sir With Love
Up the Down Staircase
Adventures in Babysitting
Lean on Me
American Graffiti
Dead Poets Society
The Karate Kid 1-3 (The first is best, but the other two are quite good. #4 stars Hillary Swank as "The Next Karate Kid"!)
The Outsiders
Fame
Bring It On
A Member of the Wedding (original b&w)
Jumanji (action/adventure but also a solid story about friendship)
Hairspray (original)
True Grit
Catch that Kid
About a Boy
Take the Lead
The Mighty
Simon Birch
The Cure
Gregory's Girl
Pretty in Pink
The Breakfast Club
Charade
Aquamarine (a very cute fantasy film)
Splash (Why not another mermaid movie?)
Just One of the Guys (before Amanda Byne and far better)
Three O'Clock High
Never Been Kissed
Back to the Future trilogy (They're especially wonderful when watched end-to-end!)
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
Encino Man (friendship emphasized along with the humor)
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (friendship again, plus history offered with some fun)
1776 (a musical about the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence~funny, bittersweet, full of wonderful songs and terrific acting)(They'll barely realize they're learning!)
Mean Girls
Clueless
The NeverEnding Story
The Last Starfighter

If they would like to see some more classics (some listed above), I'd suggest these:
Gone With the Wind
Romeo & Juliet (1969)
The Wizard of Oz (if anyone out there has never seen it)
Casablanca
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Haunting (original)
The Innocents
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
Bonnie & Clyde
Shane (a classic Western)
Inherit the Wind (for the opportunity to see two brilliant actors in top form~Spencer Tracy and Fredric March)
Forbidden Planet
The Time Machine (original)
The Grapes of Wrath
The Red Shoes (with Norma Shearer)
Born Yesterday (the original, not the remake!)
The African Queen
The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)
The Thief of Bagdad (with Sabu)
Jason & the Argonauts (original, not TV miniseries)
The Music Man
Wait Until Dark (It shows that you don't need gore to achieve scares.)
