My Top 1. 0 Obscure But Awesome Teen Movies of the ’8. Yesterday I took a big step forward for my nerdy little corner of the web here–I joined The League of Extraordinary Bloggers. You could call them the Super Friends of pop culture bloggers. This week’s assignment (my first!) was to come up with a Top 1. Movies list using any of our own themes or qualifiers. I jumped right on it because I’ve been dying–DYING–to have an excuse to mention some of the obscure but awesome ’8.

I’m about to show you. But first, let’s talk about what it is that makes these films “obscure.” When most people hear “8. John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off), popcorn flicks that star Michael J. Fox (Teen Wolf, Back to the Future) or raunchy sex comedies like Porky’s and Fast Times at Ridgemont High–all awesome films, by the way. But for this teen movies list I wanted to focus on those little known (and consequently underrated) hidden gems that I think deserve more attention.

So here they are, in no particular order: ‘Three O’clock High’ – 1. Three O’Clock High is probably the most well- known movie on this list, but I think it’s just obscure enough to still qualify. It’s exactly the right amount of obscure, if you will. In case it’s not glaringly obvious from the poster, it’s about a high school geek taking on a high school bully.

In other words, it’s a film we’ve all seen many times before. The film takes place over a single day in the life of Jerry Mitchell (Casey Siemaszko), who offends transfer student and rumored psychopath Buddy Revell (played by douchebag extraordinaire Richard Tyson, whom you’ll probably recognize as the bad guy from Kindergarten Cop) when he accidentally touches him. Buddy tells Jerry he’s going to beat the shit out of him in the parking lot at–you guessed it–three o’clock. What follows is a series of desperate acts where Jerry tries to do everything and anything in his power to avoid the confrontation. Why It’s Awesome: In short, the way it’s filmed.

There’s all kinds of unusual camera angles, odd close- ups, slow- motion sequences, and other zany camera effects you wouldn’t expect but which are all used to great effect to magnify the sense of dread that Jerry Mitchell feels. The Tangerine Dream soundtrack helps, too.‘Just One of the Guys’ – 1. This is one of those movies I’m always surprised when people tell me they’ve never heard of it, which is a thing that happens so often to me (probably because it’s my “go- to” ’8. I felt obligated to include it. Just One of the Guys stars the beautiful if androgynous Joyce Hyser as Terry Griffith, a popular high school student who wants more than anything to be a journalist. When her article for the school’s contest to win a summer internship at the local newspaper is rejected, she believes the school’s sexist teachers–who don’t take “pretty girls” seriously as writers–are to blame.

Her solution? Transfer schools and dress up like a guy! With the coaching of her sex- obsessed younger brother (played by the adorable Billy Jayne) and a wad of rolled- up socks, Terry (who conveniently has a unisex name) gives herself a transsexual makeover that could give Hilary Swank’s Oscar- winning role in Boys Don’t Cry a run for its money.

Hilarity ensues as Terry ventures into forbidden places like the men’s bathroom, gets bullied by the local jocks, hit on by other girls, and befriends–and eventually falls in love–with shy music nerd Rick Morehouse (Clayton Rohner). Why It’s Awesome: The big reveal scene at the prom. It’s the best “TITS OR GTFO” moment ever in a movie, and Rick’s reactionary quote is one of my all- time favorites. Plus, for you Karate Kid fans, there’s William Zabka (Johnny of the Cobra Kai!) doing his trademark tough- guy douchebag thing.‘Old Enough’ – 1. Old Enough is your typical “two friends from opposite walks of life” coming of age story (think Little Darlings) but has enough charm and realistic innocence to make it a standout; something that’s largely due to the chemistry between the two leads. Sarah Boyd stars as the wealthy but naive Lonnie who meets scrappy but streetwise Karen (Rainbow Harvest, whose parents I suspect must have been hippies) one summer day on the streets near her home in New York City. There’s an almost immediate infatuation between the two girls, who quickly become unlikely friends. Watch The Greatest Game Ever Played Online (2017). Lonnie ditches summer camp to hang out with Karen, who teaches her about things like boys, make- up and shoplifting, and in return Lonnie tries to impress her own morals and upbringing. The whole film only takes place over a couple of days, but in that time each girl does quite a bit of growing up and the experience feels genuine.

Along the way they have a few misadventures, disagreements, awkward social situations, and laughs. Nothing really earth- shattering ever happens; the film is simply a chronicle of a few days in these two young girl’s lives.

Have you ever gone away somewhere and met someone you felt you really connected with only to never hear from them again–but you’ll always look back and remember them fondly? That’s kind of what Old Enough is like. If you don’t like slowly- paced character studies, steer clear of this one. But if you give it a chance, you just might find yourself becoming mesmerized by the acting and scenery as I did. Why It’s Awesome: Old Enough is filmed entirely on location in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, so you’re treated to a great summertime walking tour of this part of the city. I love, love, love movies that take place in New York City, especially movies that take place in the eighties in New York City (blame my Ninja Turtles obsession if you must). Also, you get to see Alyssa Milano in her first movie as an adorable eight year old. She plays Lonnie’s little sister and lends some much- needed cuteness and light comic relief, as some of the scenes get pretty angsty.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the seriously synth- tastic score!‘White Water Summer’ – 1. Speaking of summer camp and coming of age stories, White Water Summer is another teen movie you should know about if you enjoy that sort of thing. It stars Kevin Bacon as Vic, a rather creepy wilderness guide hired by the wealthy parents of a young, introverted city boy named Alan (Goonies- era Sean Astin!) to accompany him and and three other boys on their first wilderness experience.

Vic is a skilled “survivor man” who’s good at what he does, but has something of a pushy camp counselor/big brother complex that he takes to extremes. He wants to make men out of his sheltered, socially awkward recruits but his ego and over- abuse of authority turns what should be a fun hiking trip into their worst nightmare. Why It’s Awesome: It’s Kevin Fucking Bacon. Even better, it’s creepy Kevin Bacon which is exactly how I like my Bacon. It also has a great soundtrack featuring music from Cutting Crew, Bruce Hornsby, The Cult and Journey that evokes exactly the right feeling of “Hey, look at us young, virile bunch of guys hiking around in the woods and doing cool outdoorsy stuff in the summer of ’8. If you’re a nature enthusiast you’ll also appreciate the rugged scenery, as much of it was actually filmed in New Zealand (surprise!).‘Nice Girls Don’t Explode’ – 1.

Wow… Where do I even start with this one? I’m going to go out on a limb and estimate that at least 9. Nice Girls Don’t Explode.

I know you’re already thinking “Holy crap that’s an awesome movie title!” and you’re right.
