One small step for me
Most of Gus van Sandt's films, such as My Own Private Idaho, Drug Store Cowboy and Elephant
Buddy Bradley
Pantheistic solipsist
The Ice Storm
Breakfast Club is an excellent film, as is most of the rest of John Hughes work.

Class film.
Also there's:
E.T
Donnie Darko
The Rules Of Attraction
Almost Famous
Brick
Dazed & Confused
Empire Records
The Lost Boys
Buffalo 66 (think Ricci was a teenager in that)
Near Dark
As for TV, I know it's a cartoon, but I always liked Daria as a pretty good slice of American teenagerdom.
Then of course there's 21 Jump Street...

So many particulars. So many questions.

the thing with The Breakfast Club is that it contains so many sections that, when viewed 15+ years later, make you die a little bit inside
the bit where goth girl is transformed into a Little House On The Prairie doll
the bit where the jock gets stoned and does the kind of dancing that, in millenia-old jungle tribes, was used to invoke many-tentacled demons who spew bile. he then shouts at a window and shatters it - because we all know cannabis gives you super-powers
don't get me started on The Lost Boys
i admit my initial premise may have been slightly sweeping, and thanks to everyone's submissions I have modified my theory to "any 80s American film or late 90s/21st century American TV show whose cast consists mainly of non-teenaged American actors playing teenagers is rubbish"

I used to hate Dawson's Creek.
The reasons:
They were all twats;
Having American cousins and visiting the country many times, I can say without doubt that no teens talk like 30somethings in complicated adult-like relationships in the US.
As a US teen would say "it sucks".
