Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Okay, so American Graffiti is the definitive American youth culture film about the early 60s Dazed & Confused is the definitive American youth culture film about the mid 70s and The Breakfast Club is the definitive American youth culture film about the mid 80s So what are the definitive American youth culture films for the 90s and the Millenials?

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 90's is probably Kids I've never seen it. Now I gotta rent it immediately. I ask because my wife is not American, so I just introduced her to The Breakfast Club and American Graffiti for the first time this week. It made me think of the question. BTW sorry for mispelling Graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It includes a pretty intense rape scene at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Uh, Superbad for the '00s. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boron Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 'Clerks' for the '90's? I guess not being American I can't really give a correct answer, however, as pretty much all of the developed world is farmed on US pop culture maybe I can nominate with a degree of enlightenment.....?

Members lonerstoenr Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'd deinately agree on a Kevin Smith film for the 90's, Mall Rats for the teens though. Or Daria, the whole thing. Agree with Pbone on the 00's get superbad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jerseyboy62 Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 So what are the definitive American youth culture films for the 90s and the Millenials? Who cares? But I'd go with American Pie because it captures the culture of raunch that sadly is the 90's and 00's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bangers n' Mash Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Kidhulthood, La Haine, City Of God at a push... from a delinquient point of view. La Haine portrays young, anti-social adults on the cusp of society better than any film ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
