Ah! But for my generation it would have been “The Legend of Billie Jean” in ‘85 or “Pump up the Volume” in ‘89.

Had a hit Pat Benatar song out of it:

I remember both of those flicks, though I was 20 in ‘85. The Rebel Teen is one of the most common Hollywood fixtures, and one of the toughest to pull off effectively.

Ha! I started to read your post and immediately thought Pat Benatar before I read farther on down!

Oh, geez, I remember those. Actually, Pump Up the Volume is where I first heard Leonard Cohen, so it’s of value to me.

Those movies got nothin’ on any movie with “One Tin Soldier” in the soundtrack.
