Lesbian Teen-flicks part. 1

I am currently watching a lot of teenage flicks about lesbian love, and I think that this might be my favorite film genre. the first one I want to talk about is "The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love" from 1995, directed by Maria Maggenti. Starring a very young and VEEEEERY hot Laurel Holloman (Tina from the L Word). This film is about Randy (Holloman), a scruffy young highschool girl who works at a gas-station, listens to rock music and has a fling with a married woman. She starts talking to the popular girl Evie (Nicole Ari Parker) and they eventually become lovers. The plot is about Evie's struggle to come out, the social differences between Randy and Evie's respective families, and the hot lesbian sex that they, in my opinion, have way too little of.
This is a cute film, it is not provocative in any way, which can be both good and bad, I liked it a lot and it changed my perception of Laurel Holloman for the better.
oh and I really want Randy's haircut!

Over the Edge

Okay, these days I'm very into coming of age/teenage rebellion films, and a few days ago I watched "Over the Edge", a film thats been lost somewhere under my bed for a couple of months (such a slacker I am). Directed by Jonathan Kaplan (he mainly does Tv-drama-crime-series), starring a very young Matt Dillon (the outsiders etc. etc.) and Michael Eric Kramer. Magnificent soundtrack, mainly by Cheap Trick, whom I don't really know...
Anyway it is a classic, a must see, about teenagers rebelling against their concervative parents, getting drunk, getting stoned and trashing the school. It is not a comedy, it is very gripping and sad and makes the viewer want to run away from everything and/or ruin stuff for all the snotty grown-ups.
Fuck patriarchy and fuck the patriarchs!
PS. Matt Dillon was such a sexy kid!

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

I LOVE Green Day, only the earlier stuff though, the rest is pure shite. BUT the early stuff (obviously Basket Case, Minority, When I come around and such) has the most amazing american teen punk-sound, very... teen-comedy-flick-starring-Jason-Biggs-ish (Loser!).
Later I'll post something that, for me, has the same feel to it, kinda... 90's and slightly tacky but catchy.

She may be weary, young girls they do get weary...

Incidentally, the soundtrack kicks ass! (OMFG: "Kicks ass") It's all very 80's, tacky and romantic.
