This updated and expanded edition reaffirms the idea that films about youth constitute a legitimate genre worthy of study on its own terms. Identifying four distinct subgenres-school, delinquency, horror, and romance-Timothy Shary explores hundreds of representative films while offering in-depth discussion of movies that constitute key moments in the genre, including \u003ci\u003eFast Times at Ridgemont High\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Nightmare on Elm Street\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Breakfast Club\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSay Anything . . . \u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoyz N the Hood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScream\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Pie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNapoleon Dynamite\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSuperbad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Saga\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e. Analyzing developments in teen films since 2002, Shary covers such topics as the increasing availability of movies on demand, which has given teens greater access to both popular and lesser-seen films; the recent dominance of supernatural and fantasy films as a category within the genre; and how the ongoing commodification of teen images in media affects real-life issues such as school bullying, athletic development, sexual identity, and teenage pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Stephen Tropiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1.
