Anyone know of any more movies about teen suicide? I remember 1 or 2 from the '80s where a teenager (might have been a boyfriend/girlfriend) killed themselves by carbon/garage or something. Anyone know that movie?

I like The Pact, with Megan Mullaly. It is told partly from the deceased character's point of view.
