Teen movies' have been massively popular with their target audience for half a century yet they remain among the most unexamined, in large part due to their unpretentiousness, but also because the genre itself is contested just what is a 'teen movie'? In his Classroom Resources author Rob McInnes explores the social, institutional, economic, cultural and political contexts of the genre from the 1950s to the present day from Rebel Without a Cause (1955) to American Pie (1999) which reflects recent Media/Film Studies specifications to study genres as part of a more integrated study of cultural theories and movements. These Resources reflect the structure of the accompanying Teacher's Guide and provide accessible exercises and tasks for this most student-friendly of topics.
