The movie A Friend to Die For, is an excellent movie for teens. I have used it in youth groups in our church (I am a minister) as well as to my Senior English students who really enjoyed the movie. Excellent discussions on popylarity and the price of it, meanness among peers, peer pressure, beauty is only skin deep, high schools for the elite and many more assignments that were first rate in responses.
