8. 'Mean Girls' (2004)

'You GO Glen Coco!' 'Stop trying to make *fetch* happen. It's not going to happen!' 'On Wednesdays we wear pink!' 'You can't sit with us!'

If you ranked teen movies by how many iconic lines of dialogue will live on forever, Mean Girls would definitely lead the pack. So many classics!

9. '10 Things I Hate About You' (1999)

This flick may be based on the Shakespearean play The Taming of the Shrew, but you definitely won't feel like you're sitting in sophomore English class while watching it. You have to watch this classic if only to see the late Heath Ledger singing 'You're Just to Good to Be True' accompanied by an entire marching band. Classic.

10. 'Easy A' (2010)

If you're looking for some way to make your required reading of The Scarlett Letter more bearable, watch this teen movie starring Emma Stone. You won't regret it.

11. 'She's All That' (1999)

The thing about '90s teen movies is that they pretty much all revolved around a popular guy making a stupid bet to woo an outcast girl and then regretting it when the tables turn and the girl ends up wooing them. She's All That is no exception. One of the scenes, now known as the Laney Boggs makeover, went down in history and is parodied extensively since the nerdy character's transformation from dork to most beautiful girl in school literally consisted of taking off her glasses and getting a trim.

12. 'Bring It On' (2000)

While Bring It On looks like your typical cheerleading competition teen flick on its surface, it's actually a spot-on commentary on the very real issue of cultural appropriation.

13. 'A Cinderella Story' (2004)

This present-day reimagining of Cinderella starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray is the gift that keeps on giving. The first movie was a classic (that final scene where Sam and Austin kiss on the bleachers in the rain is EVERYTHING), but it also spawned three sequels starring Lucy Hale, Selena Gomez, and Sofia Carson.

14. 'A Walk to Remember' (2002)

A Walk to Remember is all about a high school student named Landon who finds himself falling in love with a school outcast named Jamie when he's forced to do community service with her. But right when Landon accepts Jamie is his soul mate and drops his coolest-guy-at-school act, he gets the devastating news that Jamie has terminal cancer. Ppsspp gold apk ios. It was basically 2002's The Fault in Our Stars, only with musical breaks.

15. 'The Princess Diaries' (2001)

Everyone dreams of finding out they're a princess. When an awkward high school sophomore named Mia Thermopolis finds out that she's the Princess of the fictional country of Genovia, her life completely changes. But being a princess is not easy, as you'll find out when you watch this Disney classic starring Anne Hathaway.

16. 'Never Been Kissed' (1999)

You're 16 and never been kissed? Well, you're not alone. Never Been Kissed is all about a 25-year-old journalist who's never been kissed. She goes undercover as a student at a high school for a story. While undercover, she begins to fall in love. Only problem is, it's with her English teacher. Basically, this movie had the whole student/teacher forbidden romance thing going way before Aria met Ezra in Pretty Little Liars.

17. '13 Going on 30' (2004)

This classic follows Jenna Rink, a 13-year-old outcast who's wish to grow up and escape the horrors of high school has come true.

Although she loves her new and improved life at first, she quickly finds out that being grown up isn't that much easier than being 13. Just one warning: I'd like to tell you right now that no senior editor in existence is living in a swanky 5th avenue luxury apartment right by Union Square. Nope. Not a thing. This movie presents entirely unrealistic life expectations for 30-year-old journalists, but the rest of it is pretty awesome. Especially the 'Thriller' dance break in the middle. Epic.

18. '17 Again' (2009)

So, this movie is basically the opposite of 13 Going on 30. In it, a middle-aged man unsatisfied with how his life has turned out gets the chance to rewrite his life when he falls into a time vortex and finds himself back in his 17-year-old body. Obvs he thinks its awesome at first, until he realizes being seventeen is hard and he misses his family. Oh, did I mention Zac Efron is the star? Sold.

19. 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' (2005)

Imagine you and your three besties found out that you had a pair of jeans that can magically fit all of you despite all your different sizes. That's what Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget find in their possession in this flick. Instead of selling them for a million dollars on the black market (like I would have done), they decided to pass the jeans around to one another to stay connected as their lives go in different directions. So cool.

20. 'Agent Cody Banks' (2003)

15-year-old Cody Banks is a super secret CIA agent specializing in covert operations that require young participants. He's been trained to do anything from dropkick the bad guys to winning a high speed car chase. But when Cody's gets assigned a mission to get close to his crush Natalie Connors in order to gain access to her scientist father, the mission proves difficult because the CIA forgot to train him in one super important skill: how to talk to girls.

23. 'Paper Towns' (2015)

This is a movie adaptation of a John Green book, which means that it's GOING to make you cry. That's just a given.

24. 'Pitch Perfect' (2012)

The Barden Bellas are an elite all-girl a cappella group known for their sick covers of female pop songs. They WERE, at least. After flopping hard at last year's finals, they are forced to regroup. In walks Beca, an indipendent and edgy new student who's more interested in DJing than a cappella. But she's just what the Barden Bellas need to spice up their tired schtick and get back into the competition.

Hey Tightwads! We’ve got a little something for you to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – free movies! So let’s get to it…

Even Lambs Have Teeth

Even Lambs Have Teeth is about two young women who are abducted and terrorized by a group of rednecks. They escape, but their story is just starting; the gals carefully plan out their revenge on their tormentors.

This 2015 schlockfest is basically your standard female revenge story. Think I Spit on Your Grave with a tad bit of House of 1000 Corpses tossed in for good measure. Nothing deep, just bloody carnage. Check out Even Lambs Have Teethhere at Popcornflix.

Nun

Remember The Nun, that movie from The Conjuring’s universe that came out earlier this year? This is not that movie. This one is a 2017 flick about a nun who, while having a crisis of faith, seeks to reunite with a lost love. Along the way, she gets trapped in a storage facility.

Yeah, as hard as it is to believe, this Nun is worse than the other one. It almost feels like a movie that The Asylum would put out to beat The Nun to the punch, and that’s probably not an entirely inaccurate assumption; the original title of Nun was Gas Light, which makes more sense, since there’s very little nunnery in the movie. Have a look at this Nunhere at TubiTV.

Falling Down

Falling Down is about a man who has had enough. While trying to get to his daughter’s birthday party, the guy encounters gridlocked traffic, rude store clerks, and wannabe gangsters until, finally, he has a meltdown and goes ballistic on every aspect of modern society – with a baseball bat and an Uzi.

This grim little 1993 movie stars Michael Douglas in the lead role, and features Barbara Hershey as his wife and Robert Duvall as the cop who is tasked with stopping his rampage. Falling Down will make you cheer and sneer at the same time. If that’s the mood you’re in, you can find it here at Vudu.

Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf

Last week, Tightwad Terror Tuesday showed you what happens when Sharktopus fights a Pteracuda. But what happens after that? Well, you get the 2015 epic Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf. Again, it’s exactly the movie it pretends to be; Sharktopus fights a wolf-whale hybrid.

This time around, the humans in the middle are played by Casper Van Dien and Catherine Oxenberg. If you haven’t had enough of Sharktopus yet, let the rumble commence here at ShoutFactoryTV.

Frankenstein

Do you think you’ve seen every available adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein that there is? We may have one you haven’t seen. This is the first one ever done, a 1910 silent film adaptation made by the Edison Manufacturing Company.

Since it lasts only 13 minutes and change, this Frankenstein is obviously a very truncated version of the tale. It is an important film, though, both for horror fans and cinephiles alike, and we can all thank the Library of Congress for restoring this previously long-lost fright flick. Watch it here at the LOC website, where you can also read a fascinating blog entry about the restoration.
