Get ready for your next movie night!
Whether you're looking for a movie to watch with your squad or just something to fill up your time binging while you procrastinate on homework, today’s teen movies are seriously so good.
Luckily, Netflix has so many to choose from you'll never have to leave the house again if you don't want to. From rom-coms to thrillers to tearjerkers, here are some of the best teen movies currently on your favorite streaming service.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Based on the book series of the same name, a group of teens stumbles upon a terrifying secret while hiding from bullies in the town's local haunted house. This chilling film will have you on the edge of your seat.
Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between
Two teens make a pact to break up before they start college. Of course, that's easier said than done, especially when Aiden (Jordan Fisher) has an epic final date planned with the hopes of staying together.
There's Someone Inside Your House
Don't sleep on this teen horror movie about a killer targeting students and exposing their darkest secrets. You and your friends will be playing detective the whole movie, trying to figure out who the murderer is.
The DUFF
After learning she is the "Duff" — aka Designated Ugly Fat Friend, though it's really about lack of popularity rather than appearance — of her friend group, Bianca (Mae Whitman) gets help from the school's football star to make her more popular in exchange for tutoring him.
Do Revenge
When two girls are wronged by people they thought they could trust, they make a pact to get revenge on each other's rival. This movie is kind of like Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, Strangers on a Train, except without the murder part.
17 Again
When Mike (Matthew Perry) desperately wishes he was 17 again, he wakes up one day to find out his wish came true. Now, he has to figure out how to navigate a new generation's rules — including dealing with his troubled teenage kids.
FYI, don't get this movie confused with Seventeen Again (also a fun film!) which stars Tia and Tamera Mowry. That movie is actually on YouTube for free with ads.
Love & Basketball
If you're looking for a rom-com you already haven't seen 100 times, check out this movie from 2000. It follows Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps) from grade school to high school, as they go from friends to something more, all while pursuing their shared dream of going pro in basketball.
Countdown
If you're looking for an excuse to not be on your phone so much, watch this movie. After a nurse downloads an app that tells you the exact moment you will die, she desperately starts looking for ways to beat the clock and extend her life past the "expiration" date.
Circle
If you and the squad are looking for a mindf*ck movie to watch together, look no further. Several strangers are abducted and placed in a circle in a windowless room. They quickly learn they have to repeatedly vote on who should be spared... and who should die.
(This has no connection to the Netflix reality series, The Circle.)
All the Bright Places
Based on the book of the same name by Jennifer Niven, this movie tells the story of Violet (Elle Fanning) and Theodore (Justice Smith), two teens dealing with their own demons and trauma who partner up for a school project that requires them to explore Indiana together. Get your tissues ready for this tearjerker.
You Get Me

This includes preparing for an audition for the drama program at Carnegie Mellon University. All Together Now is an emotional roller coaster, so get ready to feel all the feels.
