Teen Films

TEEN FILMS

In the 50s, producers first recognised a market for youth-orientated films, the number of which grew steadily until a dramatic increase in the 80s. Often set in a school, these films invariably show teens trying to attract the opposite sex and attempting to escape adult control.

What to Watch: Rebel Without a Cause (1055), American Grafitti (1973), The Breakfast Club (1985)
