This was a more difficult category to choose for. Many in other categories had an element of this, but these were teens who were talented or had chosen a path.
#4 Favorite Senior Year Movie: Coming of age
These are not necessarily just about senior year, but they include some fun high school vignettes that are fun to watch!
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

#5 Favorite Senior Year Movie: Prom
We have a whole post of prom movies here. Prom is a fun event to look forward to.
My favorite prom movie is She’s All That. How is Freddie Prinze, Jr. 49 years old???
Laura’s favorite prom movie is Mean Girls because she and her kids love to quote all the lines! “Laura’s not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom!” 😎
#6 Favorite Senior Year Movie: College Life
This one was a tough category because I wanted the choices to be fairly clean, or at least not totally filthy and inappropriate. There are lots more choices, but these choices are fun and sort of a slice of life to look forward to.
#6 Favorite Senior Year Movie: Final Thoughts
Senior year is such a wonderful time for your teen. It is bittersweet for us as parents. These movies are a great way to connect with your teen and share some of your own memories!
