The Most Rewatchable Teen Movies Out There

Grease - 1978

Starring movie greats John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Grease has gone down in history as the best movie musical of all time. The plot follows a bunch of singing and dancing high schoolers in the 1950s. Travolta and Newton-John share a twisted romance as the bad-boy greaser and wholesome Australian transfer student. 

Grease became the highest-grossing musical film ever and its soundtrack album was the second-best-selling album of 1978. The film got an Oscar nomination for the song "Hopelessly Devoted to You" at the 51st Academy Awards. In 2020, Grease was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". People love Grease!
