I am hoping to find such a movie that I can watch for free on YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion. About friendships/romance between I'll teens. I know there is one out that sounds nice but its new so can't see for free. Five feet apart.
Already saw the cancer one about girl hazel, and now is good.
Any similar ones?

My sisters keeper is a brilliant film.
It’s a bit different to the book which is annoying in a way.

Me and Earl and the dying girl

Very different type of tone. It’s about a kid who at first doesn’t care, and is just befriending this girl to make his mother happy, but slowly he begins to care and realize how serious it is.

Not a movie, but there was a TV show called Red Band Society.

There's a Jewish book Miracle Ride. A diary of a teen with cancer. She published it after she survived

I don't think it's online yet, but look for "Five Feet Apart".

DD saw it, and said it was wonderful. She cried all the way through it, and would watch it again.

DD is pretty cynical, and not very emotional. That she recommends this movie says a lot.

Another good one is "The Fault in Our Stars".

The best ones teen dramas I've seen recently were Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Candy Jar, and To All The Boys I've Loved Before... all Netflix productions, all very funny and original and sweet. I liked that they were romantic but very age appropriate (no 13 year olds acting like cynical hardboiled 30 year olds) I really truly enjoyed these!

Hope Springs Eternal (It's about a girl who was diagnosed with cancer and then finds out it was a false alarm and she is healthy, and she struggles to deal with that)

If you want to go classic you can watch anything by John Hughes from the 80s, they are all incredible and worth your time: Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc.

If you want to go dark and violent then Hunger Games!!!!! Twisted Evil

My sisters keeper

I saw the trailer but cant watch it for free online, at least I havent found it.

The Fault in Our Stars
saw already, loved it.

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Candy Jar, and To All The Boys I've Loved Before
are those just teen drama, or sick/ill teens drama?

Hope Springs Eternal sounds nice but cant find it for free either.
I dont have netflix etc. I only have access to youtube, daily motion and vimeo and similar sites.

Five Feet Apart sounds amazing, saw the trailer but new so not online yet at least as far as I have seen.

A walk to remember also not free. sorry I dont mean to sound to stingy, but for shalom bayis better I dont pay for this stuff.

Red Band Society saw already, great one.

Me and Earl and the dying girl saw it too Smile

keep the ideas coming

tx all

Do you have a library card? You can check out DVDs for free from the library!!!

I also really enjoyed 50/50.... not teens, but the story of a very sweet boy with cancer... played by Joseph Gordon Levitt Heart

do you have amazon prime? can you convince your husband to sign up for that to "save money on grocery deliveries" because then you can have access to prime videos Twisted Evil

also my library has a download service called "hoopla" where you can use your library card to download movies for free!!! like netflix, but sometimes you need to wait a bit if it's a popular video, then you get to keep it for a few days and then the title automatically gets "returned"
get a library card and ask the librarian if they can help you sign up for this!

to me, access to movies is a basic human right and I will help people fight for it if they want it !!!! Punch

Yes, it is an app you download, and the movies go straight to your phone.
It does not take up a lot of storage at all.
I'm in Canada but I'm sure that libraries in the USA do this too, though perhaps under a different name. It has to do with regional licensing agreements.
Our is called Hoopla, just go into your local library (or call them) and find out if they have access to any free digital media apps.
Good luck!!!
