I can remember as a teenage girl being at the movies with friends and how cool it was. I look back on some of those movies now and think that these are classic movies that all teenage girls should see at least once in their lives.
Fame- 1980

The movie showcases the 18-month mental hospital stay of Susanna during the 1960’s after a failed suicide attempt.

Beaches- 1988
Beaches is an American comedy-drama starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. This movie does an excellent job showcasing how most friendships can overcome even the toughest problems.

However, throughout the movie, their friendship is put up against several tests and we see how these best friends overcome all challenges.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John play the roles of Danny and Sandy who fall in love over the summer only to discover they are in the same high school. The movie depicts teenage love in the 1950’s, about two total opposites who try to be like each other in order to be a couple in love.
The Breakfast Club- 1985
The Breakfast Club is an American coming-of-age comedy-drama that stars Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. The Breakfast Club storyline spends a day in detention with five high school kids who are all different stereotypes. When they walked into detention that morning, these five had nothing in common, or so they thought because by the end of the day, they realized they had more in common than they thought. To everyone else, they were the jock, the brain, the criminal, the princess and the basket case, but they would always consider themselves the Breakfast Club.
