Your opinion: The top 10 teen movies

The release of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix was a huge hit throughout the East student body, but we don’t want to forget about other popular teen movies. Popular movies with teens usually have seven requirements: a classic character development plotline, a female lead, a great soundtrack, some kind of street slang, high school politics, and questionable parenting. These movies have all left an impact on high school students, whether for their important lesson or simply quality entertainment.
