Sorry, but I think 90's teen movies suck. I could watch 70's and 80's teen cheese all day long, but somewhere along the way the teen genre lost all it insightful humor and became all about gross-out and fart jokes.
Can't really think of any good cheezy 90's teen movies.

I found "Drive Me Crazy" to be a guilty pleasure as well. What sealed it for me was the scene at the school where the student uses some footage of Nazi Germany in a presentation that is rather funny. And I just have a thing for Melissa Joan Hart, so that helped!

I don't know if I really like it, but I do agree that this was one of the better teen movies of the '90s.
I also agree w/:
Clueless
American Pie
Empire Records
don't forget:
Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
Tommy Boy
now that I look at that list, I think das said it best - '90s teen movies really suck compared to their predecessors, particularly in the '80s.
