About This Quiz

You could make a strong case that teen movies are as old as movies themselves. Not everything was a stuffy old drama meant for middle-aged audiences. Going to the movies has always been a beloved hobby of the younger segment of the population, so it's always been a part of the medium to crank out teen movies. Just look at the crazy beach movie phase of the '50s and the '60s. Nothing but teens, or at least actors in their 20s pretending to be teens, surfing and play beach blanket bingo. Elvis made a series of teen films back in the day that were just excuses for him to sing to girls.

Teen movies really hit their stride as a blockbuster genre in the late '70s moving into the '80s, and you can thank John Hughes for making them a behemoth. His movies "Pretty in Pink," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "Weird Science," "16 Candles" and, of course, "The Breakfast Club" dove a little deeper into teen drama than films had in the past, mixing comedy with real-life stuff teens could relate to in a way that made those movies timeless. And the teen movie lives on to this very day. If you feel like you know it well enough, take the quiz and see what you can do!
