Great list. I would add Edward Furlong, Terminator 2.
Agreed. Awesome list. A future list: Movies starring 30-year old teenagers.
One of my personal favorites from the ’70s that failed in drive-ins but was oft-run on U.S. UHF-TV was Almost Summer. Set in a high school, all of the “teens” were over the age of 25 and pushing closer to 30.
Like the movie”Grease” and TV show “Glee.”
Yes. Grease. Exactly. That’s the most heinous of the bunch.
Oops! Lightblub moment: You mention Grease. Olivia Newton John’s boyfriend (husband?) at the time, Matt Lattanz, had one, as well: Catch Me If You Can. Another goofy high school filled with too-old teens and the most inept school administrators ever committed to film.
