This Friday (October 3) sees the release of subtle, charming coming-of-ager
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, in which a post-
Harry Potter Emma Watson plays kindred spirit and love interest to troubled teen Charlie (Logan Lerman).
Inspired by
Perks' fresh slant and endearing ensemble – not least a transformative turn from former
We Need to Talk About Kevin teen terror Ezra Miller –
Digital Spy takes a look back over the near-universally beloved genre that is the teen movie.
Grease (1978)
Turning a beloved Broadway show into an equally beloved feature film is no easy task, but Randal Kleiser's big-screen
Grease – starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John as summer lovers turned high school peers – remains the original, and the greatest, high school musical.
