Does The Goonies count as a teen movie? I dunno, but it's definitely one of my favorites from when I was a teen.

Taking into consideration the some teen movies some of you've mentioned I suppose I have a right to post here "Scarface" as a teen movie cause it's sure one of my 80s fave Lol Anyway the definition of a teen movie is pretty vague.

I loved it when I was a kid. It was an amazing movie. Super great!

Highlander

Are you into Queen? Lol
As you probably know all soundtrack to Highlander was made by Queen. "Princes of the Universe" and "Who Wants To Live Forever" themes are my faves. Anyway, the movie (and the series) are really cult things. I'm not into Highlander but it was super popular those days. Really classic.

As for Iron Eagle. I don't remember watching that film but what I know for sure is that "One Vision", Queen was used as a part of the soundtrack to Iron Eagle.

I'm not actually a big Queen fan. I would be able to recognize their better known songs, of course, but I don't necessarily know too much about the band or their music -- although the first time I saw Adam Lambert on American Idol, I thought there was something extremely Freddy Mercury-esque about him. I thought he had Mercury's theatricality and amazing range. Anyway, I do think that Queen's soundtrack for Highlander was perfect and probably helped to make it such a cult favorite. I just love that movie. (Sword fights, romance, Sean Connery, Scotland. What's not to love??)

The sequels, however, suck giant donkey balls. Which makes sense, since, after all...there can be only one!!
