Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

i am a kid of the 80's and have been on such an 80's kick lately with all these great (if somewhat cheesy) and sometimes forgotten teen comedies. been making my way through them...

Secret Admirer, Three O'Clock High, Some Kind of Wonderful and last night was my all-time favorite...

made bittersweet with Amanda Peterson's passing.

of course, John Hughes pretty much owns this genre with his classics. The Breakfast Club is another favorite of mine, but doesn't compare to the replayability of CBML.

so what is your favorite teen comedy from the 80's?

I've never seen Adventures in Babysitting, and it's up on Netfilx. Movie has a solid reputation. I'll give it a try this week.

Also, if you like skiing Hot Dog: The Movie is a must-see.

Better Off Dead

Amazon Prime has one of my favorites, Up The Creek (1984). The video quality's pretty good. I think it's the first time I've seen it widescreen.

¡Three Amigos!

Hey, I was a teen when it came out. So it counts.

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

In addition to ones mentioned above, I'd also say Weird Science.

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

Better Off Dead. Easily. That movie saved my life (ironically, given its suicidal overtones).

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

Not an aficionado of the subgenre, but I like Three O'Clock High a whole lot.

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

Adventures in Babysitting.

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

Who could help but climb off that ledge after hearing the classic line: "Buck up, little camper. We'll beat that slope...together."

It's ok, although everything is kind of downhill after Elizabeth Shue's opening dance number.

Re: Favorite 80's teen comedy?
 

Better Off Dead. I saw it as an adult, but I was surprised at how wonderfully absurd the whole thing was.

As a kid though, I probably would have said Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
