7 teen movies similar to "The Breakfast Club"

Exactly 39 years ago, John Hughes' "The Breakfast Club" was released. It was the second directorial experience in Hughes' career, but he managed to do something incredible: to change the whole genre of teen movies by simply talking to the audience on an equal footing and taking their problems seriously. In honor of the film's birthday, here are seven more such films that will appeal to both teenagers and adults.
I want you to come closer. Look at these faces from the past! You often passed by, but I don't think you noticed them. These guys are not much different from you: they have the same haircut; they are full of hormones like you; like you, they feel invincible, the world belongs to them. Like many of you, they believe that they have a great future ahead of them, and their eyes are full of hope. But haven't they wasted their inherent abilities? Alas, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils.
But if you listen, you will hear the words addressed to you… Bend over, come closer, do you hear? Carpe diem… Seize the moment, boys, may your life be extraordinary... "
A film about 17-year-olds for 17-year-olds. Very naive and hyperbolic. To some extent, Keating did contribute to the audacious and reckless behavior of the students. At such a tender age, it is not rationalism that dominates the minds, but rather emotions. Impulses. Every thought is brought to maximalism.
Of course, you can't live within strict limits and let others control your life, but Keating's training seemed like that to me... lengthy. What did the students take away from him? Is life fleeting? Seize the moment? How stupid. As a result, they caught only an exception, and one was shot in the head. So much for talking about the sublime. It would be fine if they learned something useful from these lessons, but they just felt free and began to behave inappropriately. For example, to demand to bring girls to an educational institution for boys. Seriously? Another proof that at this age, only hormones and emotions rule. And what happens if the students are given complete freedom? The school will be left in ruins.
I'm sorry, but rational people better get past this movie. It is purely for young naive romantics who prefer to write poetry and reflect on high matters, being filled with their knowledge and despising the normies.
It was gratifying to see the suffering of Bati Neel. So to him! Although I am for rationalism, but if my child was so passionate about creativity, I would put up with it and would not interfere with it. He wants to live poor, but happy is his choice. What can I do? This is his life.
I didn't catch any super-deep meanings that some commentators are talking about here
