Author Top 5: Best Teen Romance Movies
by Cookie O’Gorman
Hi bookworms!!! So I’m pretty sure the 80s would take over if I let them (John Hughes just got it!), but I think I can vary it enough to make things interesting! You should know, my knowledge in this field is vast and extensive lol—which is to say in addition to writing and reading YA romance, I also love teen rom coms! I’m mainly picking based on what I thought were the most romantic. Also, this list is completely subjective and may have been different if I’d done this on a different day (but probably not). Okay, so with that in mind…let’s get to it!
Honorable mentions (because I just couldn’t leave them out) go to: Sixteen Candles, Easy A, and Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
#5. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Such a surprise! The book was lovely, but I may have loved the movie even more. Peter K. and Lara Jean forever <3.
#4. Never Been Kissed
Saw this three times in theaters. The MC’s an undercover reporter who already graduated from high school—but I had to include because I love it! Plus, that ending AND the Ferris wheel scene. *sigh*
#3. 10 Things I Hate About You
Annnd Heath Ledger singing “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” to a heart-hardened Julia Styles? ‘Nough said.
#2. Clueless
This one will always be near the top for me. The laugh-out-loud humor, Dionne and Murray, Cher and Josh, that kiss on the stairs ugh. Just yes!
#1. Some Kind of Wonderful
Okay, I know, I know…but it’s always been my favorite *sigh*. I LOVED Watts so much and dumb-old Keith even though he didn’t see what was right in front of him. And I don’t care what anyone says: that kiss in the garage is cinematic gold made of swoon-worthy romantic awesomeness!
Hope you have an awesome day, bookworms!

“Captivating, fun, and totally swoon-worthy! This is the kind of story my reader heart craves.” ―Rachel Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Eyes on Me
Available in print for the first time, and with exclusive bonus content only found in the print version! Fall in love with Sally and Becks all over again.
Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz.
Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she’s done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There’s only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: She needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around hottie, and Sally’s best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He’d do anything for Sal―even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she’s “more than pretty,” and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally’s been in love with Becks all her life―and he’s completely clueless.
This book features two best friends, one special-edition Yoda Snuggie, countless beneath-the-ear kisses, and begs the question:
Who wants a real boyfriend when faking it is so much more fun?
