Teen Movies of the Eighties

One of loyal readers wants to play this game.   How many of said movies have you seen?  Which have most stayed with or influenced you?  (That’s not quite the same as which are objectively the best.)

My quick answers.  About 90—in a few cases I’m not sure.  AND:  FERRIS BUELLER, REVENGE OF THE NERDS, BACK TO SCHOOL, RISKY BUSINESS, VALLEY GIRL, SIXTEEN CANDLES.
