80's Adolescent Angst Films (Choices for today?)

[FeliciaLee]

Okay, for NYE I am drinking Grey Goose Bloody Mary's, and will later go out to play some LL donk O8.

Before I get too drunk, however, I'd like to ask about today's equivalent for the 80's teenage angst films.

I was going through hell in the early to mid 80's. I found films like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink a method of coping and keeping myself from suicide.

I forgot how good some of John Hughes films were.

Sixteen Candles 1984
The Breakfast Club 1985
Pretty in Pink 1986
Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986
Some Kind of Wonderful 1987

So what is the equivalant for today's teens? I admit, I just don't watch movies like I used to. Do today's teens have these kind of great "over the hump of hell" films to get them through adolescence? Napoleon Dynamite?

Anyone, anyone? Bueller?
