When it came to teen movies, filmmakers in the ‘90s had their work cut out for them, especially since the ‘80s had some of the most iconic films of the genre. Producers and directors in the ‘90s had to follow the footsteps of filmmakers such as John Hughes (“The Breakfast Club”, “Sixteen Candles”, “Pretty in Pink”), Joel Schumacher (“The Lost Boys”), and Cameron Crowe (“Say Anything”). But against all odds, the ‘90s delivered, and they did so in amazingly smart and stylish fashion.

Here are a couple of our favorite ‘90s teen flicks everyone should enjoy.
Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and company were all hilarious in one of the most memorable teen-centric vehicles of the early ‘90s. More of a satire on life in Beverly Hills for rich teenagers, “Clueless” dispatches all the angst of the era, replacing it with snark and ditzy one-liners.
The late great Heath Ledger teams up with Joseph Gordon-Levitt to woo the Stratford sisters in this wonderful modern-day adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” Much like “Clueless”, “10 Things I Hate About You” is responsible for influencing an entire generation of kids.

Can’t Hardly Wait
“Can’t Hardly Wait” is quite a microcosm of a film, meaning the entire film happens in a single night, in a single place. Although not as influential as the first two movies on this list, “Can’t Hardly Wait” is still very much worth a watch. And it’s way fun.
