Curious...would ROCK and ROLL HIGH SCHOOL qualify as a teen comedy? If so...it's got my vote!

I'd consider it one, yes.  Probably wasn't considered because it was released in 1979, though.

I voted CLASS of 84...except I'm gonna puzzeled as to why it's on here...as it's not a comedy at all! Unless sadistical punk  kids tormenting Perry King and Roddy McDowall is your idea of fun....

Whoops!
When I was compiling the list, it was in with a bunch of other teen comedies so I added it...not knowing it wasn't a comedy.
(I've never seen it.   TongueOut)

I originally had Rock & Roll High School in the list because I was thinking it came out in 1980.
I checked the IMDB and it is from 1979, so it was removed.

My vote definitely goes to "Heathers". Someone introduced it to me waaay back, because I reminded him of the main character. Since I do not look very much like Christian Slater, I wonder if it was the character of this Character...?

Very close second is "Breakfast Club".

I enjoyed the usual suspects, like Back to Future and Ferris Buehller, as a kid, but I think I wouldn't want to watch them now.

Unfortunately I haven't heard of half of them, maybe because they run with a different title over here, which is usually not a direct translation. I'd probably be interested in "Better off dead", since it has been mentioned together with my favorites and the plot at imdb doesn't sound familiar.

Tough decision, but I went with VALLEY GIRL.  Nicolas Cage was perfect for his role . . . and how can you forget the VERY 1980s soundtrack, including music by (uh) Josie Cotton?

There were some shiney plastic beads in the food-poisoned oyesterbed of the 80s, but I still say this decade needs to be the end of nostalgia. Nearly everything good about it was but a cry of desperation against everything bad about it which, again, was pretty much everything.

Surprised I voted for Heathers?  Wink

I would have to say the one that sticks in my mind most is The Last American Virgin (1982)

Some of those I've seen, others no.  But from the list I would say my fave would have to be Better Off Dead and Weird Science, in that order.  Followed very closely by Ferris Bueller.

They certainly don't make comedies like that any more.

I had to go with HEATHERS as out of all of the films, and I've seen most of them, that made the strongest impression. 
I think SIXTEEN CANDLES is quite watchable, BREAKFAST CLUB holds up fairly well, and I also think BACK TO THE FUTURE is in a different league.

I really liked Uncle Buck. It gave me some great ideas on how to treat any possible suitors that my daughter brought home.
