The Best Modern Teen Movies on Netflix

If you have a teenager, then by now, you have heard the ever-popular phrase “there’s nothing to watch.” While this can be true in some cases, more often than not, there are plenty of good teen movies on Netflix that your kids can watch.

If you are looking for some teen-friendly movies for your next movie night, or just a good teen movie to watch on Netflix, this list will help.

Here are some of the best modern teen movies on Netflix right now.

 Sierra Burgess is a Loser

Sierra Burgess is an independent spirit who isn’t all that interested in being part of the popular clique at school. However, when her phone number falls into the hands of one of the cutest boys in school, Jamey, who thinks he’s digitally connecting with one of the most popular girls in school things get interesting.


Sierra and Jamey exchange texts and phone calls creating an undeniable virtual connection, but her fears of revealing her true identity lead to a modern “Cyrano” storyline that creates both humor and drama in this imperfect, but entertaining teen movie.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

If you love the story of Spiderman, you will enjoy following the story of Miles Morales and how he meets his other “Spiderman” counterparts from another dimension! If you are looking for some Spiderman movies that aren’t on Netflix, here are all the Spiderman movies ranked best to worst.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

If you are looking for the perfect teen romance movie to watch, you will love this movie! This movie follows Lara Jean and how she finds her entire quiet high school life turned upside down when her secret love letters get mailed to her crushes!

The Edge of Seventeen

Growing up can be hard, and every teenager knows this to be true. What would happen if your best (and only) friend started dating your older brother! This movie follows the story of Nadine and what happens when this exact scenario unfolds.

See You Yesterday

This movie follows the story of two teenage prodigies who have cracked the code on how to time travel! This movie follows these characters as they are sent through a series of trips to the past.

The Spectacular Now

For those who love a good romantic story, you will love the classic tale of boy meets girl, but with a unique twist. This unlikely romance starts as a boy and girl who are total opposites but fall for each other during their last year of high school.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

In a battle to win Ramona’s heart, Scott Pilgrim has to defeat her seven evil exes in a martial arts battle to win her heart! This movie has everything, from humor to romance, all wrapped up in a fun and witty movie.

 Dumplin’

A teen from small-town Texas, Willowdean Dickson, is the daughter of former beauty queen Rosie. But she is taught by her aunt to love Dolly Parton and herself, even though her plus-sized frame isn’t quite in keeping with traditional pageant beauty standards.

After her aunt’s passing, Willowdean decides to enter the local pageant, which is the oldest one in Texas — and which her mother now directs..

Hairspray

Alright, maybe not the most modern of this bunch, but if your teens aren’t familiar with this fantastic musical, it’s a perfect way to pass a few hours. This movie goes back in time to 1962 and follows the story of plus-size Tracy Turnblad and her mission to try to integrate Baltimore with one Watusi at a time!

Great music, great messages and just a whole lot of fun!
