This is my ultimate teen movie of the 80s! Take the actors from The Outsiders, put them in a sleepy suburb and add a Russian Invasion and guns!
Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing), C Thomas Howell (The Outsiders), Lea Thompson (Space Camp), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), Charlie Sheen (Young Guns) + more.

Description

Reese Witherspoon has actually done a few highly entertaining dark teen comedies. This is another goodie about an obnoxious teenage over achiever running for class president, and the teacher who would like nothing more than to see her fail. (Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Broderick and Chris Klein)

This movie will certainly leave you feeling conflicted and confused. A sweetly disturbing love story between an older man and a young boy. What?! Yeah, I know. Starring the brilliant Brian Cox and a young Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine/ There Will Be Blood)

The Descent (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Description

This is one of my favorite horror movies of the past few years. I group of good friends rallies behind one of them who's going through a dark time (lost her family in an accident). They decide to go on a cave diving expedition like the use to in the old days. However, this time around they run into something sinister and deadly. The fight for their lives begins. If you're claustrophobic and afraid of the dark, don't watch this movie. Or maybe you should.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ORIGINAL VERSION! The U.S. version has a different ending. Blah. (via Amazon)

This movie is brutal! I'm surprised it wasn't NC-17. Good caper about a disastrous love affair that goes from worse to worst. An all-star cast that includes Patricia Arquette, Christian Slater, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hooper, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer and more. (via Amazon)
