Relive Your Glory (Or Awkward) Days With the Best Teen Movies on Netflix
The teenage years are a strange time. You’re stuck in this gap between childhood and adulthood, reconciling the end of innocence with the beginning of independence. Suddenly you're too old for some things, but too young for so much. You’re trying to “find yourself," whatever that means. It’s a time many of us wouldn’t relive if somebody paid us—but it’s precisely that chaotic push-and-pull of adolescence that makes it a prime source of inspiration for storytellers.
The coming-of-age genre has been around for hundreds of years in literature, known as "Bildungsroman" since the early 19th century. Though not everyone's genre of choice, movies about teenage life often tell funny, heartfelt stories about growing up that audiences of all ages can appreciate. Luckily, Netflix has a good selection of teen movies to check out if you ever find yourself feeling a bit nostalgic for that weird, scary, exciting time in your life. From Greta Gerwig's critically acclaimed dramedy Lady Bird to the raunchy comedy Superbad, to time-loop drama Before I Fall, here are ten of the best teen movies to stream on Netflix right now.
