Teens and young adults have long been the ideal target market for movie producers, and over the decades there has been a veritable saturation of teen movies. What makes a true teen movie is hard to define (except, of course, teenagers learning about their environment, themselves, and their peers). But we are sure that some films stand out for their quality and message. We have selected six classic teen movies that will take you back to your teenage years.
Kill Me Three Times is basically an action thriller, but it shouldn't be thrown in the same bin as films like Inception, Taken, GI Joe... because it does star Simon Pegg. The action thriller needs to be added here with a hint of black comedy. The film was "twisted" by Kriv Stenders, and the aforementioned English actor played the role of a hired killer. We enter his story when he is tasked with killing a rich man's wife, but he soon discovers that he is not alone in this mission and that he has unwittingly found himself in three different stories.
The day before the Oscars, the Golden Raspberries are traditionally awarded for the biggest film achievements of the previous year. Golden Raspberry 2015, for the 35th time in a row, crowned Darren Doan's film Saving Christmas, which took home four awards from the Ricardo Montalbon Theater, as did its counterpart Birdman from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. But Birdman was also part of the Golden Raspberries program, but only as part of a parody.
The Oscars are no longer just a film event, and the golden statuettes are no longer a mirror of the best that Hollywood has achieved in the past year. No, the Oscars have become another round in the drum of the American propaganda gun. This year's American Sniper is a good example. What is a biographical story with so many holes and hiding the truth doing among the cream of the crop? And not only is the Academy racist, because it only awards a black person every few years so that it can have peace for a while, it also no longer awards statuettes to the best films.
Anarchy is a film about dirty cops, drugs, arsonists and forbidden love. Topics chewed over a hundred times. But if it is based on the work of William Shakespeare, ''Cymbeline, King of Britain'' (Cymbelin), if it has the right mix of actors, a terrain where we can break through the clichés to the story and message, and if the strong cast is at the service of the play and don't hunt for as many viewers as possible, we get a movie worth our time.
The 87th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Birdman was declared the best film. The best actress in a leading role is Julianne Moore (Still Alice), and the best actor is Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything). As a director, he celebrated Alejandro González Iñárritu for the film Birdman. The Oscars were first hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
Duff is a lighthearted but genuine comedy that delves into the deep dark, teasing labels that stuck with us in high school. It is an adaptation of the 17th-year novel of the same name by Kody Keplinger. You won't hear the term duff (''Designated Ugly Fat Friend'') in our school corridors, but there is no lack of similar signs that marked a good part of life for many people.
We have already written about the Oscars 2015 at length, but for all those who, before the awards on February 22, 2015, do not even have time to go through the trailers, let alone the descriptions of the films, to refresh your memory, here is a mashup, a homemade mix, where bit of all eight Best Picture nominees compressed into the length of one trailer.

The guarantee for the success of the film Crimson Peak should already be the acting names: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain. If we add to this the fact that it was directed by the Mexican giant of cinema, Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim), and that with the film he returns to his home genre, horror, then there is no script that leaves us disappointed after watching the film.

The Oscar is the ultimate recognition for achievements in the field of cinematography, and in the almost century-long tradition of awarding the Oscars, there have also been rare and tragic events that have become part of the history of the Oscars.

The Man From UNCLE is Guy Ritchie's first film since 2011, when he graced us with Sherlock Holmes. This time he's back with a new spy flick, an adaptation of the British TV series of the same name from 1964. And if we haven't bought you yet with the fact that Madonna's ex-husband took on the task of transferring from TV screens to the big screen, we will certainly have you with the story set during the hottest years of the Cold War, when CIA and KGB agents join forces.
