Members Clorox Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 So it's agreed then? Kids for the 90s and Superbad for the 00s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shepherdspy Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 The Doom Generation, The Thing Called Love, Kicking and Screaming, Mallrats, and Killing Zoe are really 90's to me. Clueless, Can't Hardly Wait, and Empire Records were definitely up there in a commercial watered downed way. I remember seeing Pulp Fiction in a theater - that was a pretty 90's movie though I vastly preferred Reservoir Dogs at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phishmarisol Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Honestly the one for the 90s hasn't been made yet. Kids is a good movie, but it's not representative of the typical american teenage experience in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids is a good movie, but it's not representative of the typical american teenage experience in the 90s. It may be a bit more extreme, but honestly, I can't think of anything better. It seems pretty much all 90s coming of age movies contain similar content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fadedjoy Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 i agree a lot with kids, his other movie bully is a lot better though. clerks is also a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DADGADammit Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Clerks is good. Kids is good, but I really don't like it (if that makes any sense) how about American History X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerseyboy62 Posted July 8, 2008 Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 I was just about to post the same thing. Great soundtrack too, IIRC that included Van Halen, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent, etc... Here is the soundtrack listed in Wiki. It was heavy on Cheap Trick.. since 78-79 was their zenith 1. Cheap Trick "Surrender" 2. The Cars "My Best Friend's Girl" 3. Van Halen "You Really Got Me" 4. Cheap Trick "Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace" 5. Jimi Hendrix "Come On (Part One)" 6. The Cars "Just What I Needed" 7. Cheap Trick "Hello There" 8. The Ramones "Teenage Lobotomy" 9. Cheap Trick "Downed" 10. Little Feat "All That You Dream" 11. Valerie Carter "Ooh Child" I thought I remembered Nugent in this too...do you remember what tunes?

Members jlantsberger Posted July 8, 2008 Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 Honestly the one for the 90s hasn't been made yet. Kids is a good movie, but it's not representative of the typical american teenage experience in the 90s. I don't know, I think I had a pretty typical childhood/young adulthood, and it pretty well sums it for me. I was in the suburbs; tone the content of that movie down a little bit and you'd end up with a fair portait of my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lou Speed Posted July 8, 2008 Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm gonna have to agree with Slacker for 90s, early 90s anyway. Maybe Mallrats too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 What? Of course it is. What's more ironic '00s than 70s funk tracks? By the way, gus, I don't really get your sig. I mean, I get it, but just because thirty million people have the whammy doesn't mean that it's better than the eventide, it just means that more people bought the whammy. The eventide harmonizers are out of most musicians' budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue_velvet Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 gonna have to go with Clerks or Reality Bites. 90's folks, remember?And Reality bites is SATIRE on 90's pop culture made by none other than Ben Stiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 gonna have to go with Clerks or Reality Bites. 90's folks, remember? And Reality bites is SATIRE on 90's pop culture made by none other than Ben Stiller. But neither of those films was about High School kids. They fit more in the tradition of The Graduate, Breaking Away, About Last Night, etc. Don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onyxrhino Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 american graffitti was celebrating death day. a more masonic picture. showing how the tests were overcome on death day....one eye drops. wat? I'd say Clerks is the best bet for 90s encapsulating youth (not high school, but close enough) pop culture movie. Of course, like Dazed and Confused (70's through the eyes of the 90's), we'll probably get a "definitive" 90's film next decade. Kids is hack work. It wasn't really indicative of many people's teen experiences in the 90's, it was more of a hyperbolic Hollywood message movie - i.e. "our kids are out of control!", like The Wild One.

Members Clorox Posted July 12, 2008 Members Share Posted July 12, 2008 But one of the main ideas of Clerks is that he isn't a kid anymore. He's an early 30's slob with no prospects and a childlike attitude. He doesn't want to grow up and move past his past. Doesn't really strike me as a coming-of-age film.

Members Terminus Posted July 12, 2008 Members Share Posted July 12, 2008 the matrix for the 90's +1. Even though it doesn't picture teens in the late 90's/early 00's it definetly has something of the feeling from that era. And it's awesome.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted May 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 I was just watching Dazed & Confused again tonight, and this has to be one of the greatest films ever produced. I want Ben Linus to move this island and send me back to 1976 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_eTV4lRJYU [YOUTUBE]f_eTV4lRJYU[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
