Movie that best reflects your teenage years?
Dazed and Confused all the way. Remove all of the excessive hazing crap and everything about that flick is what is was like for me between 14 and 18.
Endless mindless cruising with rock tunes blaring - check Keg party if someone's parents were going to be out of town - check Moving the keg party outdoors if plans changed - check Stoners, jocks, and nerds somehow coexisting - check Local liquor store that would sell to minors - check Hip hugger jeans (yum) and polyester - check Dudes with long hair, chicks with longer straight hair - check Parents who thought they were cool but weren't - check Weed, weed, weed, weed, and more weed - check Everyone sucking face with everyone once wasted - check That movie transports me back in time in a big way. |

The title typo made me laugh. But anyway, I feel like there aren't much in the way of movies that reflect my teenage years. Can't Hardly Wait comes fairly close though. It came out only three years after I had graduated and I related to the main character. He was an aspiring writer like I was, he loved Vonnegut like I did, and he seemed to occupy a similar social position to mine—friendly with most of the other people at his school but maybe also a little detached from them.

I think that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and A Clockeork Orange were pretty influential on me.

All the replies so far are great films. I wish I could say mine was dazed but I believe I was born a decade or two too late. The accuracy and amount of parallels to my high school years in Superbad have always been eerie, minus the dick drawings
