Here are the top 10 teen movies of the 80s. These are the movies that we went to see over and over again because we just couldn't get enough. They are the coming-of-age flicks that made the 80s the best decade ever!

1. The Breakfast Club (1985) - Who could forget Molly Ringwald in this? She was cool, she was popular, and she ate sushi! And Judd Nelson (as John Bender) was our favorite movie bad boy!

2. Pretty in Pink (1986) - Molly Ringwald again. This time she isn't quite so popular. She has a crazy crush on Blaine, the rich, popular jock type. She pines over him while her best bud Duckie has a crazy, mad crush on her. Poor Duckie!

3. Valley Girl (1983) - When Nicolas Cage was an unknown but totally hot guy from the wrong side of the tracks who longed for the love of a popular girl from the Valley. Will Julie choose the right guy for her?

4. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) - We all remember this one. Mr. Hand, the enti-drug-nazi busting the chops of Jeff Spicoli and Phoebe Cates' breasts.. ahh, what more could we ask for?

5. Weird Science (1985) - The horny teenaged boy's wet dream come true, this great movie brought popularity to two dweebs who used their home computer to bring a doll to life as a gorgeous babe. Tubular!

6. Sixteen Candles (1984) - Molly Ringwald plays Samantha, a cutie with a crush on the most popular guy in school, Jake Ryan. Meanwhile, the geekiest freak in school is hot fo her panties. Whatever will she do?

7. St. Elmo's Fire (1985) - A great brat-pack movie about a group of friends having a hard time adjusting to life after college.

8. Dirty Dancing (1987) - "Nobdy puts baby in a corner!" This teen is in for the time of her life as a summer schoolgirl romance comes true!

9. Purple Rain (1984) - Prince stars in this flick as a guy who desperately seeks fame and fortune. Can he find love and the career of his dreams without becoming like his violent, alcoholic father?

10. Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) - A bored, lonely housewife is desperately seeking the romance and adventure that her stuffy husband isn't providing. She ends up finding it... and more than she bargained for... before finally finding herself.
