It would be easy for any teen to get distracted travelling almost 25 weekends a year for races. But De Angelis manages to keep a great balance between his studies, a racing career and a part-time job making pizzas at a St. Clair Beach restaurant.

During an appearance at Zack Snyder's "Justice League" panel at the Full Circle fundraising event, Ben Affleck revealed he was torn between two different villain concepts for his Batman movie. His eventual choice of a solo villain would have broken an impressive, decades-long streak of multiple villains in a movie led by the Caped Crusader.

While teen soaps have been around long before the year 2000, the early aughts were truly the peak era for the genre. High school dramas fueled angsty teens week to week, shining a light on class disparities and trauma, and highlighting the day-to-day lives of (primarily white, cis) American youth. They're not perfect, but these shows were more than just television: They were an aesthetic. They informed how many of us dressed and what music we listened to, and launched 20-something actors playing hot 16-year-olds into a new, complex level of celebrity status even before the Instagram age.

Each season of Elite so far has centered on a central mystery: Who killed Marina (Mara Pedraza), where is Samuel (Itzan Escamilla), who killed [redacted]?! Yet, somehow, the series that began as another story of teens from a working-class neighborhood struggling to find their footing in a new school filled with privileged rich kids has yet to jump the shark in its efforts to raise the stakes. No, these hot Spanish murder teens feel shockingly grounded for the amount of trouble they get into. But most important, the cast is sexy, the romances are high-key shippable, and the costume designers deserve all the awards for those fashionable school uniforms and epic Halloween looks.

The day Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) brought troubled Chino teen Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) into his gorgeous Orange County home in 2003 changed the lives of millennials everywhere. The O.C. gave us Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) and Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson), Chrismukkah, and a lasting obsession with indie emo bands. California, here we come.

If you've ever wondered why Lady Bird's Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) has red hair, blame Pretty In Pink. Greta Gerwig's favourite Molly Ringwald flick, directed by Howard Deutch and written by the prolific poet laureate of '80s teendom John Hughes, pitches Ringwald as Andie, a high school outcast who lives with her pop (Harry Dean Stanton, a contender for best movie dad), is friends with outsider-who-secretly-loves-her Duckie (Jon Cryer) and is asked to the prom by preppy cool kid Blaine (Andrew McCarthy). What it lacks in originality, Pretty In Pink makes up for in warmth, humour, a killer soundtrack (OMD, INXS, and the title song by Psychedelic Furs), James Spader as a punchable baddie and, in Ringwald, a believable teenage girl who is so easy to root for: the iconic moment she makes her own pink prom dress to New Order's 'Thieves Like Us' is teen movie hall of fame stuff.Read The Empire Review

With its central cadre of teenage witches and How Soon Is Now on the soundtrack, it's easy to see how The Craft laid the supernatural seeds for hit series Charmed. Andrew Fleming's film about a quartet of high school girls who give in to the lure of the arcane and summon dark powers to smite their enemies (and ultimately each other) is what one can only assume would happen if John Hughes had sat down to write a screenplay in sheep's blood under the light of a full moon. Part black comedy, part feminist tract, part coming-of-age high school yarn, The Craft is a magical teen movie in every sense (this despite none of the principal cast being within a football pitch of their teenage years).Read The Empire Review

Wes Anderson's glorious second feature focuses on an absurd love triangle between 15-year-old schoolboy Max Fischer, his teacher Rosemary (Olivia Williams) and industrialist Herman (Bill Murray). But it's all about Max. Max (Jason Schwartzman, the most perfect casting in the history of cinema) is a delightful horrorshow of a teen, a compelling cocktail of seemingly misguided quirks. Wildly precocious, he is bizarrely confident, unforgivably arrogant and unbridled in his ambition, founding clubs (beekeeping, astronomy) and putting on plays (his DIY take on Apocalypse Now is something to behold) like there's no tomorrow, while scrimping on the actual academia. Max has not yet been quelled. But there's a lot to be said for his lack of boundaries. With age, his edges will most likely be softened, as they often are. In that process though, we lose a lot. Here's to being unrestrained.Read The Empire Review

If you know anything about Say Anything, you'll know it's the teen flick where John Cusack stands under Ione Skye's window and, holding up a boom box, blasts out Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' (it was originally going to be Fishbone's 'Question Of Life') in a desperate attempt to win her back. But Cameron Crowe's directorial debut is so much more than that. Within a simple triangular dynamic between Cusack's underachieving eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler (A+ character name), Skye's overachieving student Diane and her over-protective father (John Mahoney), Crowe's writing and direction invests standard teen situations with wit ("I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen"), depth and generosity of spirit. Both Skye and Mahoney are terrific, but this is Cusack's movie, creating a winning teen hero that is at once quintessentially Gen X, but also for the ages. Read The Empire Review

Alexander Payne and co-writer Jim Taylor took Tom Perrotta's novel and fashioned a satire of not just high school life, but a scathing look at popularity politics and the back-stabbing that can occur even at the level of Reese Witherspoon's Tracy Flick. As the driven wannabe student body president, Witherspoon is the perfect distillation of acid ambition and a young woman still trying to figure out her role in life. And then there's Matthew Broderick returning to the teen movie genre a generation later as embattled teacher Jim McAllister, who finds himself caught in her crosshairs when he decides that he'll help loveable, dim jock (Chris Klein's Paul) run against her. Payne isn't afraid to go dark with his work (see also: Citizen Ruth), and Election certainly falls into that category, eschewing slapstick antics for scathing insight.Read The Empire Review

If every film on this list deals with adolescence, only one film played a major role in defining the very notion of the teenager itself. James Dean's Jim Stark is the moody teen personified, sporting cinema's coolest jacket (sorry Indy and Tyler Durden) and displaying all the restlessness and rage in the world with little ability to articulate it. Moved from town to town with his parents due to bad behaviour, Stark arrives in LA and is drawn to Judy (Natalie Wood), the girlfriend of local bad boy Buzz (Corey Allen). All roads lead to a switchblade fight (cut from the UK release) and then the famous game of chicken as Stark and Buzz race to the edge of a cliff, with whoever dives out first losing. From this vantage point, it's impossible to calculate the impact Dean's performance must have had on young audiences, but his performance remains magnetic, brooding, sexual, mannered, ambiguous. Generation gaps have rarely been so vividly drawn as when Stark screams to his parents, "You're tearing me apart!"Read The Empire Review
