Robbing a Diner for Party Money
Possibly the craziest teen movie ever, or maybe an exaggeration of your college spring breaks (we hope not), “Spring Breakers” is one long strand of insane movie moments. From this scene of the girls’ robbing a diner with toy guns, to Cotty (Rachel Korine) getting shot by Gucci Mane, to the “Everytime”-hold-up montage, to the jaw-dropping ending, the chaos of “Spring Breakers” gives "crazy" a whole new meaning.

Mean Girls (2004)
The Girls Have Gone Wild!
In "Mean Girls," we get a handful of moments that depict teenage girl world all too accurately (OK, maybe it’s a little exaggerated). The Plastics' Burn Book doesn’t give way to some mild crazy events, oh no; it unleashes the inner crazy in every female in school and, honestly, you better watch out. When gossip, backstabbing, and jealousy collide, the real animal side comes out.

Superbad (2007)
Mayhem With the Cops
Things get outrageous throughout "Superbad," including Seth (Jonah Hill) getting hit by a car (twice), as well as getting an unwanted present on his leg while dancing, and Mclovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) getting a ride to a party from cops as he drinks and shoots guns with them. But the ultimate crazy moment? When the officers take Mclovin out drifting in their cop car, light it on fire, then let him empty a round on it. Every nerd's dream come true.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Crashing a Parade
Every kid wishes they could be Ferris (Matthew Broderick) for a day, skipping school to eat in fancy restaurants, cruise around in a classic Ferrari, and go to baseball games and museums. But none of that comes close to crashing an annual parade and leading a giant sing-and-dance-along to “Twist and Shout.” Ferris has the ultimate crazy hooky day... and we’re jealous.

The Life of a 13-Year-Old
Every girl who was ever thirteen (so that's all of you) can find something to connect to in "Thirteen," a.k.a. a collection of crazy/scary teen moments. Once middle schoolers Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) and Evie (Nikki Reed) meet, they begin to explore sex, alcohol, drugs, piercings, anorexia, stealing, manipulating, and everything in between. Oh, the awful things we put our parents through...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
Scott Gets a 1Up
Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) gets his fair share of crazy moments -- let’s just say we wouldn’t survive fighting seven evil exes, much less date someone who had them. But just when we think it’s Game Over for Scott, the incredible happens: he gets an extra life! We know, video game nerds, this isn’t the craziest thing that could occur, but what ensues after is. Scott goes from wimp to badass and destroys everyone in sight, including ultimate bad guy Gideon and Scott’s own evil incarnation. +200 coins for craziest video game fight (in a movie).

Clueless (1995)
Freeway Freakout
We all remember our first freeway driving experience and, for some of us, it’s not a good memory. If the first time you drove onto a freeway onramp was as terrifying (and hilarious) as Dionne’s (Stacey Dash) then we sincerely feel for you. Hopefully you didn't hit a semi or have a screaming Cher (Alicia Silverstone) in your backseat.

There's Something About Mary (1998)
Zipper Problems on Prom Night
Prom can be the greatest night of your young life -- or the worst. In "There's Something About Mary," Ben Stiller’s Ted doesn’t even make it to the prom after a zipper malfunction. The poor guy ends up spending his prom night in the hospital, causing him to lose touch with Mary (Cameron Diaz), the girl of his dreams. So, next time you think you had a crazy prom experience, just remember this and the mortified Ted.

The Ramones Rock the Roof Off
Sure, meeting your favorite band is cool, but what if they showed up at your high school? When a school full of rock fanatics get their music taken away, chaos ensues. In this scene, the Ramones show up to help the kids take over the school by playing a live show and blowing it up, literally. Every rock n' roll rebel dreams of this moment.

Back to the Future (1985)
Unwanted Mommy Kisses
Traveling back in time is a crazy enough experience for anyone, but going back to when their mom was in high school can only give way for even weirder things. When Marty (Michael J. Fox) travels back to 1955, he meets his teenage mom, Lorraine (Lea Thompson), and she begins to crush on him. In an uncomfortable moment, Lorraine flirts with her future son and then, yep, goes in for a kiss. If you ever build a time machine, avoid hanging out with your parents.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
The Ultimate High School Courting
Plenty of girls get serenaded in teen movies, but Heath Ledger's Pat sets the bar for teen singing extravaganzas. To win the affections of the stubborn Kat (Julia Stiles), Pat not only sings her Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons' "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," he does it in front of her whole soccer team, slides down a flag pole, dances across the stadium, and gets the entire marching band to help out. Crazy courtship complete!

Prom Night Revenge
As we said earlier, proms can be good or bad, but also flat-out horrifying. In this crazy climax of Brian De Palma's 1976 film, Carrie (Sissy Spacek) gets bullied so terribly (being doused in pig's blood after winning Prom Queen) that she really shows her school what pain feels like. Warning: some teens have superpowers; be nice to them.
