Your favourite films as a teen

My daughter and I love watching a girlie film together, and she loves to watch films from my childhood! Trouble is I'm running out of suggestions 🙈 would you tell me your best films as a teen?
We've watched loads already - Dirty Dancing, Twilight, Safe Haven, the Notebook, 10 things I hate about you, She's all that, Save the last dance, sweet home Alabama, Cinderella Story are ones I can think of off the top of my head. She especially likes films with a bit of suspense and a faster paced storyline - Twilight was her favourite from the list above. Can you suggest a film we could watch next?

Kikiterrific, I loved Adventures in Babysitting! I had forgotten all about it. I think it changed its name though. I'll have to Google it.

In fact I think I might try to watch it on you tube.

The 80s were my teen years - Back to the Future is still a favourite of mine, and my daughters enjoyed it when they saw it around 10-11 years old. Ferris Bueller has gone down well here too, and Beetlejuice is fun.
