[x1onexwo1fx]

Easy, Goonies.

[jwicklun]

tie between ferris bueller and goonies. I had to go with day off.

holy crap 1000 posts

[phil19]

ferris. though it was difficult going past revenge of the nerds

[AussieBoy]

shit... goonies and ferris... just went goonies, but it almost killed me

[LamarVannoy]

pretty in pink and ferris.

[Deadbolt23]

Tie between ferris, goonies, breakfast club, and stand by me. Goonies scraped it.

[Say Nothing]

The Goonies...Total classic

[vincent182]

Fast times bc of the epic Phoebe Cates pool scene :D

[fightinirish217]

Voted Stand By Me, but there's too many great choices on here.

[fourletterword]

Goonies

[MilesToGo]

I'm not sure I can pick between The Goonies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Stand By Me.

Ahhh, so hard!

[MADSTA]

Damn, I didn't notice Stand By Me, I voted for Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[xjulianx89]

Stand By Me is definitely the best out of the choices listed.

One of the best coming-of-age tales.

Goonies>Breakfast Club> Stand By ME

[Theseventhson]

Bueller...Bueller

[ArtForLovers]

It's the Goonies. But a close second with Breakfast Club

[liveloud4life]

Ferris Bueller has gotta be one of my favorite movies of all time.

People always tell me I look like spacolli, though.

[nonamesleft]

This was really tough.

[Hay]

It was tough between Goonies, Ferris Buuller, and Stand By Me. I picked Ferris Bueller.

[bethepilot]

back to the future?

[(infinite)]

back to the future?

This. Voted Breakfast Club.

[x1onexwo1fx]

back to the future?

considered it, thought it was more of a cross-genre, like sci-fi kind of thing. but there is an other option, which i assume you voted for.

[liveloud4life]

Yay! Ferris comin from behind.

[owiseone35]

This is a good poll. Had to go with Stand By Me I adore that movie. The Outsider's book is better than the movie (as our most). Never seen Say Anything though should probably check that out.

the movie was a decent adaption. not much of a disappointment, if you ask me. i mean, for example, reading coraline and then going to see the movie, that's a disappointment. but with the outsiders, i was pleased with what they did, even though the book is definitely better.

say anything got my vote, but i haven't seen most of these.

[radxbandit]

Apparently most people have not seen Fast Times, otherwise it'd be winning...:shake:

[spunkmastaflex]

fast times is hilarious so i chose that

[x1onexwo1fx]

i find it amusing that these two posts were right next to each other.

[radxbandit]

fast times is hilarious so i chose that

:thumbup: All I have to say is Sean Penn.

[BozzBlonde]

Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[bagdad]

Teen wolf

[sleepyseanzzz]

tough choice between ferris beuller and the goonies....went with the goonies cuz of SYG

[sleepyseanzzz]

and i would have voted for back to the future if it was on here

[HelloxAlone]

I've seen almost all of these, 80s movies rock,
but The Breakfast Club is my all time favorite.

[x1onexwo1fx]

and i would have voted for back to the future if it was on here

there's an "other" option! :-(

[lesto17]

Out of these I had it narrowed down to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Outsiders". Decided to go with "The Outsiders" though, partially because I had a feeling that it wouldn't receive nearly as much love as it deserves.

[lesto17]

Ferris Bueller is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Your avatar just reminded me of another film that could easily be on this list..."Risky Business". Oh Tom Cruise, you were such a bad-ass before you lost your mind.

[lesto17]

This is a good poll. Had to go with Stand By Me I adore that movie. The Outsider's book is better than the movie (as our most). Never seen Say Anything though should probably check that out.

As you said yourself, most books are at least a little bit better than their counterparts of the silver screen, but "The Outsiders" the movie was very well done and a great interpretation of the book. Books have the clear advantage of being able to take much longer than approximately 2 hours to get through.

Apparently most people have not seen Fast Times, otherwise it'd be winning...:shake:

"Fast Times..." is a great movie, but it just barely falls short compared to some of the others on this list in my opinion. Not necessarily in objective quality, but as far as my own favoritism goes.

[BozzBlonde]

Haha. Yes.
He's actually my favorite actor.

[sleepyseanzzz]

i was too excited at the thought of choosing between ferris beuller and goonies that i forgot

[And Hours Pass]

Stand By Me is definitely the best out of the choices listed.

One of the best coming-of-age tales.
Stand By Me took my vote. It was a tough race between that, Ferris, and Fast Times.

[tellxaxlove]

i haven't seen some of these (that i know of? i dont always know movie names when i watch them...) but it was down to choosing between the breakfast club and ferris bueller. hard, but chose the breakfast club.

[HometownHero]

One of the few to vote for The Outsiders but I loved that movie. Love all these but I chose Outsiders

[crimsonandclovr]

it was between ferris and the breakfast club. went with the breakfast club... not really sure why...

[teh_erica]

The Breakfast Club is my favorite movie ever. I love a lot of these though.

[tyramail]

of all the movies up there, the outsiders is incredible. but my absolute favorite 80's movie should have been there haha.

The Breakfast Club gets my vote.

[Feenucks]

congrats on actually growing up in the 80s. to the rest of us, this is like watching stuff from the previous generation. i don't think teens of the 90s really had anything good to go on, except maybe dazed and confused.

IMO the ultimate teen movie of the 90s was Empire Records. But there was Can't Hardly Wait, Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You and Crybaby.

Seems like the 90s were a little more seious than the 80s. maybe that is why I like the 80s more.

[domotime2]

this shouldnt be close......oh damn....

Breakfast club. Out of all these movies, its the one movie that really captures the essence of being a teenager, especially being a teenager in the 80s, the best. It doesn't only concentrate on the obvious stereotypes of high school, but it embraces the emotion that comes with all of them. Ferris Buehler is a nice movie, a definite all-time classic in itself...but its really just a feel good movie. Cameron is a great character though. What I notice in both these movies is that the concept of "parents lack of" support or involvement in the childs life is a big issue in 80s teenage life. Sure it's an on-going thing in today's society too, but the money obsessed working father or the dad who puts pressure on a kid, seems to be really prevelant in the 80s. Plus, for Breakfast Club you had THE TEENAGERS of the 80s so, it helps.

1)Breakfast club
2)Ferris Buehler
3)Sixteen Candles

Stand By me...although a GREAT GREAT GREAT movie, isnt about the 80s..which is what I'm really looking for in this poll.

I would take quite a few of those films over the ones in the poll, but most of those aren't really what I would consider teen movies. While they may appeal to teens, I think the aim of this poll was to focus on movies that deal directly with the typical coming of age teenage story in some way or another.

[jeremyc]

dirty dancing wasn't a choice? fuckin swayze. outsiders all the way.

[showyourteeth]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[x1onexwo1fx]

dirty dancing wasn't a choice? fuckin swayze. outsiders all the way.

i personally haven't watched it, but i didn't really think of it as a teenage coming-of-age themed movie like the rest. notice i also left out the princess bride, which is one of my most favorite movies of all time.

but of course, i did have an "other" option, but i'm glad the outsiders is getting votes, even though i voted for say anything,

[drawndead]

i really like them all but stand by me is in the top 5 movies of all time for me

[drawndead]

stand by me. its in the top 5 movies of all time for me. but there all good movies

[Formatfun]

Ferris Bueller, followed by The Breakfast Club, if I could pick two.

[runningohfive]

Without a doubt Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[quickandsilver]

Adventures Of Babysitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightfox33]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off !!!

[Nick Hull]

Ferris for me, but I'm shocked Goonies isn't winning.

[SeanEBoy2686]

ferris bueller, followed by the breakfast club

[flks511]

The Outsiders

[Jordachejeans91]

i just watched say anything yesterday so i had to vote for that haha

[salt1384]

the breakfast club did it for me :)

[kyle892]

i had trouble choosing between ferris buellers day off and fast times at ridgemont high but i went with ferris buellers

[futilespider]

say anything is fantastic.

love breakfast club, goonies, and ferris as well.....but couldn't go against good old lloyd dobler.

[movingxpictures]

God, good choices. I went for Say Anything. I love me some John Cusack.

Where is Back to the Future on this list? Its absence is a travesty.

[AbbeyCarbs]

goonies

[TreyForest]

Fast times is badass

[SpyKi]

The Breakfast Club.

[Rubato]

How is Fast Times getting this little love?

[blue_bedlight]

I hate the Goonies. I never found it enjoyable. And The Breakfast Club is just annoying.

My choice is quite easily, Bueller.

[smogs]

I picked Ferris Bueller's, but man, Stand By Me is so freaking good.

[screamoutmyname]

ferris bueller > the goonies > the outsiders ...

[SteffRyanFail]

Other: Real Genius

[bard]

stand by me.
