8) Risky Business
9) Footloose
10) Ferris Buellers Day Off

Rather than quibble over Ms. Shelton's list of fine 80's teen movies, I have decided to take it upon myself to expand her list by five. Not only do I believe the five movies below are top 15 material, 80's connoisseurs will attest that these fine films could easily be included in the top 10 list. So without further adieu, I present to you 5 more 80's masterpieces:

15) Just One of the Guys (Lisa Gottlieb/1985)

This little film is just about as silly as any movie be, other than Showgirls, and I mean that affectionately. But that, of course, is the hallmark of any 80's teen comedy worth its salt. It tells the story of Terry Griffith, played by Joyce Hyser, a wanna-be high school journalist who feels she is being slighted by her teachers because she happens to be a hottie. Being passed over for a highly sought internship is the last straw for Terry, so she decides to dress up like a dude and enroll at another school to test her hypothesis. Needless to say, hijinks and hilarity ensue.

This movie is great for many reasons, but chief among them is one key element all good teen comedy's share-the stupidity factor. Could Terry have come up with a stupider idea than dressing up like a boy at a rival school? Anyone could have predicted that she would be a babe magnet who would have to fend off bullies, an overly aggressive girl, all while keeping all this secret from her actual boyfriend and falling in love with some dweeby dude (Rick Morehouse, played by established TV actor Clayton Rohner) she has befriended under the pretense that she herself is a dude. Hasn't she ever seen an 80's teen movie?
