Lets try to compile a good list of some of the "other" teen films that were not as popular...I need to find some I have not seen before.
Modern Girls (Girls also club hop...) The Wild Life (Great music & cast) Summer School Fast Food Rich Girl (1991) Hardbodies Hot Moves (pretty funny) The All Nighter (I think this is 80s) The Night Before Lover Boy Heaven Help Us Private School
Thats all I can think of at the moment, anymore you can recommend would be great, I think the best teen flicks are the ones that had a small cast.

A lot of the movies mentioned don't seem *that* forgotten to me, but perhaps they are to the average viewer
Off the top of my head:
Pretty Smart Breaking All The Rules Nobody's Perfect Tomboy Reckless
I'm sure I'll think of more later
(also, Miracle Beach from 1992 has an 80's teen vibe to it, sort of)

I agree. But I think we're dealing with a sort of gradient; there's like an 'A, B or C' of film fame, and there's an 'A, B or C' of viewers experience and knowledge. To many of us most these films are well known, but step outside these hallowed halls...

As a group we have discussed so many 80's movies that an average person has long forgotten, it is difficult to distinguish which movies to list at times. As I typed my beloved "Valley Girl" I almost deleted it because to us it is no way forgotten, but mention most of the movies listed above at your workplace and see the reaction you get!

Indeed! Well said.

What a great start to that sentence
So true though. As much as it pains me, I know you are right. I hate thinking of any of these movies as 'forgotten' or 'not as popular.'
Valley Girl forever!!
I will add a few more to the list:
Private Resort (hated by some, enjoyed by others ) Sweet Sixteen Student Bodies The New Kids (Lori Loughlin... mmm Send Me An Angel! Secret Admirer and Rad already mentioned...) The Night Before (More Lori!) 18 Again Dream A Little Dream (seriously, is this forgotten? not by me )

Just noticed 'The Night Before' is in the first post, guess I should read more closely
Instead, how about:
My Best Friend Is A Vampire
I really wanted to say The Dream Machine, but it is from 1991 Posts: 400 | From: The 80's! Where else?! | Registered: Jul 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Oh and I most heartily recommend Paradise Motel and Aloha Summer as two more forgotten gems for '80s aficionados.

The lists are way too long to post in their entirety here in this thread, so I went ahead and broke them up by decade and posted them as new threads in the respective movie forums.
