The Most Rewatchable Teen Movies Out There

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - 2012

This film came to be after the novel of the same name reached superstardom. The story follows socially awkward Charlie (Logan Lerman) and is told from his perspective. He ends up becoming friends with Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller). He falls in love with Sam, goes to a high school party for the first time, and battles his demons.

What makes this film rendition of a book different is that the author also directed and wrote the film, so the integrity of the story is still very much there. The film brought in $33.4 million at the box office and won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Drama Movie, the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie: Drama, and the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film - Wide Release, among many other accolades.
