Re: 80\'s Adolescent Angst Films (Choices for today?)
Can't think of a thing recently that hasn't been mentioned, but no one has mentioned three others that fit in the "classic" category:
Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982)
Valley Girl (1983)
Heathers (1989)
Valley Girl is probably the most obscure of the bunch, track it down if you can and see it, definitely worth the effort to see a very young Nick Cage.
Take the actors, directors, and writers from all these movies so far, put them in a list, and you're going to see a list of impressive talent that continues to win awards today. I'm not sure there is a current equivalent that will be around in 20 years.
