These 7 movies were our teenage sexual awakening (yes, really).

Let's travel back to that awkward phase of adolescence when hormones were raging, parents were embarrassing, and your DVD collection held secrets that would make your school librarian clutch her pearls.

Remember those movies? You know the ones.

The movies with timestamps, mentally bookmarked for those moments that made your teenage heart race a little faster. We all had them.

Those perfectly innocent family rentals that happened to feature that one scene with that one actor that suddenly made everything... different. A glance, a dance, a barely-there costume or a rain-soaked shirt that triggered something in your developing brain.

Watch the trailer for Casper. Article continues after video.

Sometimes it wasn't even the obvious choice.

While your friends were swooning over mainstream heartthrobs, you were secretly developing complicated feelings for animated characters, eccentric villains, or that random supporting actor with approximately seven minutes of screen time.

According to the Mamamia team, these are those cinematic moments that turned us from innocent viewers into hot-and-bothered teenagers in the blink of an eye.

Casper.

"For two reasons: Devon Sawa and Bill Pullman. This was the start of my multi-generational crush on the Pullman family (shout out to Lewis Pullman, current Hollywood hottie). The dad was so nerdy and cute, his swoopy hair charmed me. As for Devon Sawa? A diva from day one and the it-boy of the moment. How could you not love him. Human Casper had the cutie pie gene."

High School Musical 3.

"Troy Bolton singing Scream. Specifically, the part where he punches his locker and then does a cutesy little spin?? Duality of man."

Now and Then.

"The perfect nostalgic watch. In particular, the scene where all the girls try to peep at Devon Sawa naked. Then when his character and Christina Ricci's character kiss. Lives were changed."

What A Girl Wants.

"Both Colin Firth and Oliver James. The idea of being 16 (or maybe she was 18?) and just flying to the UK. What an adventure! And meeting a cute musician at a backpackers' hostel, then living in a palace. She basically got a hot boyfriend and became rich overnight… living the dream."

Peter Pan.

"I think I speak for many people when I say the 2003 Peter Pan with Jeremy Sumpter... that got a few of us. Firstly, that whole movie is just magical, the music, the excitement and Jason Isaacs... all a win. But as a kid there was something so exciting about a handsome blonde boy wanting to steal you away from the boring day-to-day."

Sandlot.

"I was crushing so hard on Benny from Sandlot. His aura, that bad boy vibe (or at least what my pre-teen brain thought was bad boy energy) and his unexpected kindness. I was hooked. I suddenly became obsessed with baseball — even though I had no clue about the rules or where to even watch it. Needless to say, baseball didn't stick, but Benny will forever be a core memory."

— Cristina

Lord of the Rings.

"Legolas from The Fellowship of the Ring was one of my first crushes. Like who wouldn't fall for a beautiful, immortal elf with flowing blonde hair, centuries-old eyes, and a guaranteed ticket to every adventure?"
