Three films about troubled teenagers:
Adapted from the novel by Anthony Burgess,
A Clockwork Orange tells the story of Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), a bowler-hatted, Beethoven-loving juvenile delinquent whose penchant for "a bit of the old ultra-violence" lands him in jail, where he volunteers for the Ludovico Technique, an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government to supposedly "cure" criminals.

Described as "
Beverly Hills, 90210 on acid",
Nowhere is the final instalment in writer-director Gregg Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, following
Totally Fucked Up and
The Doom Generation. It chronicles a bizarre, drug fuelled day and night in the lives of a group of (strangely named) angst-ridden teenagers living in Los Angeles in the 90s and focuses in particular on Dark Smith (James Duval), a film student prone to witnessing alien abductions.

Based on the real-life experiences of Nikki Reed (who co-wrote the screenplay with writer-director Catherine Hardwicke),
Thirteen follows Tracy Freeland (Evan Rachel Wood), a 13-year-old straight-A student whose life spirals out of control when she befriends Evie Zamora (Nikki Reed), a popular girl from school who introduces Tracy to a world of sex, drugs and
rock 'n' roll petty crime.
