Suddenly, the younger brother of a local hellraiser (Don Stroud) is brutally murdered and the town sheriff (Bo Hopkins) must try to solve the murder before the killer strikes again. She's 15 going on 16, and all the boys at her new school are anxious to get to know her. (Just kidding, obviously Harry Potter is going to prevail.When Melissa Morgan (Aleisa Shirley), an attractive big-city girl, moves to a small Texas town, she creates quite a stir with her beauty and promiscuous attitude. (Though, to the Harry Potter fans, maybe chill out?) It’s just interesting that heading into the Sweet 16, we’ve got a hodgepodge of Great Movies That Are Good Teen Movies and Good Movies That Are Great Teen Movies, and seemingly no way of knowing which group will prevail. We stipulated no voting rubric when we unleashed this bracket into the world-how you cast your vote is your business. To be clear, I’m not judging your judging.

And then there’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the teen-ish movie making a pretty convincing argument that democracy is just a popularity contest. Maybe a majority of people think Easy A is an all-around better movie, but something tells me that if this were the Best Movie Bracket, Lady Bird would be moving on to the Sweet 16. (Whereas on the other hand, 10 Things is one of the most ideal examples of the genre we have.) However, elsewhere, the much more traditional teen movie Easy A defeated Lady Bird, a movie that nearly won Best Picture a couple of years ago. In the matchup between 10 Things I Hate About You and Back to the Future, the more widely beloved movie prevailed, even though Back to the Future is inarguably less widely recognized as a teen movie. It’s worth asking these questions, because in the second round of The Ringer’s Teen Movie Bracket the answers to them seemed to change on a case-by-case basis.
