3. Sixteen Candles (1984)

The 1980s was the era when the maximum number of high-school themed movies were made. One of the most popular picks in the genre is the coming-of-age teen comedy, Sixteen Candles, which released in 1984 and featured America’s sweetheart, Molly Ringwald. Directed by John Hughes, who is known for his teenage movies, the film is about Samantha (Molly), who must juggle teenage crushes and self-doubts — a classic growing-up experience. The movie centers around high-school life and is a must-watch.
