Unrequited romances and house parties, here we come.
Oh, adolescent angst. There's nothing quite like a movie that captures the teen spirit. Between stereotypical cliques (jocks in letterman jackets or nerds in glasses?), unrequited romances you thought you'd never recover from, your first house party, or applying to college as a high school senior, teen movies offer a certain kind of comfort and joy—even when your own experience was more awkward than depicted on screen.
Lucky for us, Hollywood can't seem to get enough. With decades worth of coming-of-age movies—from 1955's Rebel Without a Cause to John Hughes films that dominated the 80s, plus Clueless, Mean Girls, and our latest obsession with the book-turned-movie, To All the Boys I've Loved Before—it looks like we'll never run out of hormone-fueled dramas and lighthearted teen comedies to watch, either. To help get you started, below are some of the best teen movies of all time that you can stream right now. Unlike us, these never get old.
Note: List appears to be chronological and limited to films that were available for streaming at time of publishing.
