Movies That Defined Your Teenage Life


Recommended Posts

So I was talking with Hanguk just now and we were chatting about movies from your teenage years that you could watch over and over again at any given time. Here's the rules, you can pick only five, they have to have come out in your teenage years, meaning 13-19. Doesn't matter if they came out earlier and you watched 'em over and over again in your teenage years.I was born in 1980 so my movies came out from 93-99.1) Happy Gilmore2) Tommy Boy3) Dumb and Dumber4) Office Space5) Billy MadisonThoughts?

hmm, teenage eh..well i'l start from the beginning cuz i know you all wanna know.1st it starts off in the 80's. i was a young lad, and can remember in detail- Flight of the Navigator.Then, i remember- The Goonies and Adventures in baby sitting.But the string of quality movies would end my friends. as the next solid memory was- Friday the 13th part 1 - 5.dear god what was wrong with my parents, or society in general during this era.so after not sleeping from age 6 to 10, i then recall- The wizard, which molded my life into existance. "Ninja Gaiden"That then brings me back in time to a few classics that i didnt get to watch in theatres at a young age, but grew to love like- back to the future I, II and III- teen wolf- cocktails- top gun- star warsand many more...perhaps the turning point into my future was that i can remember actually enjoyingBill and Teds, excellent adventures, as well as bogus journeyas puberty rounded the corner, i found myself to enjoy many new comedies.The use of illegal drugs at a young age sparked this(back to the stupidity of bill and ted's), with great comedies following the Adam sandler cassette tapes, as in airheads, billy maddison, etc..Old school paved the way to a strong adult hood, as did american pie. (which i still think was the funniest movie i ever saw in theatres)good luck, and god speed

I agree with Royal, Flight of the Navigator was the shiz.... also, Ace Ventura, The Mask, The Sandlot, Monster Squad, Big, so many to choose from.How about some cartoons, not like they used to be nowadays.... Thundercats, Fragglerock, David the Gnome lol

Such great memories, that movie was remarkable. I suspect it is the main reason why I am now a grad student studying physics. For some reason this movie and D.A.R.Y.L. are seared together in my memory. I don't remember it well, but I suspect I really liked it.

Star WarsIndiana JonesBack to the FutureThe GooniesStand by MeThe Princess BrideFunny FarmMystery DateDream MachineThe Last Starfighterand....Pump up the Volume.Out of all these movies I only saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in the theatre, and I was probably like 13 or 14 when that came out.

the best part about the zabka autograph, is that he was a total prick when he gave it to me, just like every movie role he has ever had.
