Best or Favorite 1980s teen movie?

I didn't become a teenager until 1989 so I was a little young for a lot of these when they were released. Watching it wasn't "this is my life, this is my world" it was more fantasizing that this is what my world was going to be.

Quite a few of them I didn't see until my 20s and by that time was a little too old for them.

There's even a couple that I somehow still have never seen (a little embarrassed to admit which ones)

They are all very much of their time and I get a bit nostalgic whenever I see them

Mine is easily Ferris Bueller. Loved it. For a number of years I had a ritual. At the end of the day on the last day of school I would watch Ferris Bueller. I must have done for a good 4-5 years, it just seemed to be the perfect movie to start off the summer.

While Ferris is my favorite, I would have to say that Breakfast Club is the best. I just watched it again recently. Holds up extremely well. It's still very 80s but also very timeless too. (Bender was a complete *** to all of them in general and to Claire in particular. Why in the world would Claire want to be with him at the end of the movie?)

Honorable mention for Lucas. I loved this movie as a kid I must have seen it dozens of times.

(Does Back to the Future count as a teen movie?)
