Ferris Bueller does indeed kick ass. But if I had to choose between the other two, I'd have to say 'American Pie'. It's just funnier.

steve stiffler is possibly the greatest teen-movie character ever. his only competition is charles dumar from 'better off dead'.

I'll have to agree with that one mr. exlionspanker. That Stiffler guy had a high-larious cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

If you count 'Ghost World' as a teen movie, then I think the redneck in it is the best.

i didn't like 'jay & silent bob srike back'. i don't think of 'ghost world' as being a teen movie, but that redneck alone makes it worth watching.

I don't really either, but it is about teens. I think 'Ghost World''s intended audience is people in their late twenties to thirties. Maybe?

As for Jay and Silent Bob, it was the total sellout movie that was funny, but hurt Kevin Smith's integrity as an indie or otherwise film-maker as he just decided to use conventions and gimmicks rather than making a decent film. It makes all the others look worse to me.

'mallrats' & 'clerks' are the only ones i like. 'chasing amy' is corny. it's only saving grace is banky. 'dogma' just sucked. it's hardly a teen high school flick, but i really want to see 'repo man' again.

cheers to clerks and mallrats, they're my favorites too. I like them all, though. dogma and strike back have a harder time filling the shoes of their predecessors, but they still have jason lee. I'll never forget having the 60 something-alcoholic-ticket jockey tell me I was allowed to see any other movie in the theater as long as I didn't actually use my dogma ticket.

are you people crazy? 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' kicks ass! that movie makes me laugh from start to finish - Mr. Smith is just making fun of hollywood and everything else for that matter - the more times you see it the more little humor things you catch just like all his movies - I heard his next project was a remake of 'Fletch' but with a different spin on it -

Yes, it was. How does he still have a job? Strike Back was good, just not as good.

With Kevin Smith, if he was trying to write 'Strike Back' to be a spoof of Hollywood with a horrendous plot, terrible directing and cheap gimmicks (Judd Nelson is a sheriff--is that actually funny? I think not.), then the joke was on him because it perpetuates the Hollywood drivel machine more than it does anything to insult it. Yes, it's funny, in places. Unfortunately, the whole thing is just his little ego trip (Silent Bob) and anger therapy (beating up kids like me on the internet who bash his poor ability to make films).

ferris bueller is my hero.....i knew a guy in high school that was alot like him..we ended up calling him 'ferris' just for laughs......

as for J ay and Silent Bob Strike Bac, i didn't that it was a waste at all. i couldn't think of a better way to end it all. i'm curious to se what he's into now..apparently he's gonna do more serious film...
We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!

the Jay and Silent Bob DVD has an extra disc of deleted scenes - these should be very funny and very X-rated

That DVD set landed in my lap this weekend, and somehow found its way on the screen. I enjoyed it less than when I saw it in the theater. I stand by every thing I said earlier, adding that it was less funny the 2nd time, and the bonus stuff doesn't add much (save the improv session Jon Stewart does with Will Ferrell, and Ferrell isn't funny).
