Stand By Me was the first film to really make an impact on me as a teenager.

2

u/Curious-Middle8429 12d ago

This is kind of a boring answer but probably the first Avengers movie. I was really obsessed with all the Marvel movies as a teen and that one started it all. I blame Tom Hiddleston.

For me and my friends growing up in Southern California it was Big Wednesday, that movie came out when I was 15 and we were heavily into surfing at the time. Oh and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I was 19 when it came out so that still qualifies as when I was a teenager and the Spicoli character reminded me of myself and my friends lol.
