Which Classic Teen Movies Aged Either Super Poorly Or Surprisingly Well?
Teen movies are one of my favorite genres. However, sometimes, when I watch classic teen movies from before my time, I'm a little taken aback by what was allowed to fly. On the other hand, I'm often pleastenly surprised by how forward thinking some of them were.
For example, Heathers is a cult classic, but in 2024, it's shocking how casually it treats anti-gay attitudes like a joke.
On the other hand, though Clueless is far from perfect and still plays into stereotypes, Cher Horowitz is accepting of Christian when she finds out he's gay. Rather than be upset he won't date her, she welcomes him as a new friend.
So, in your opinion, what's a classic teen movie that aged either super well or surprisingly poorly? Why? Share your thoughts in the comments, and they may be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!
