30. Valley Girl (1983) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before Nicolas Cage recited the alphabet or wooed Cher or stole the Declaration of Independence, he played a punk doofus in Martha Coolidge’s sweet and silly coming-of-age romance VALLEY GIRL. We admire the film’s affectionate skewering of the 80s, its textured female POV, and how singular its male lead is within the canon of teen cinema. Marin also teaches Maggie about the existence of Jake and Logan Paul (the latter of whom starred in a jukebox musical remake of the film). Follow us on Instagr
