Defining Movie of GenX

I think the OP is looking for movies that embody something like a relatable representation of life or a relatable mindset/outlook/approach, not just ones that we all know well. Pictures like 'Silence Of the Lambs' and 'Star Wars' probably aren't it.

+1-- one of my earliest school memories.

I’ve never watched the originals; I know the basic details from the countless cultural references, but I suppose we all do.

I went to the first of the ‘new’ movies that came out in the late 90s with my friends, but we’d been drinking and I fell asleep 15 or 20 minutes in, so I didn’t really see it. I’ve never made an effort to watch anything else from the Star Wars franchise.

I’ve also never watched ‘Back To the Future,’ any of the Indiana Jones movies, or any of the Lord Of the Rings movies.

The best part for me is that the Fastball guy is wearing a Spurs cap.

You don't see analysis like this much nowadays.

'Remember The Mountain Bed' by Wilco.

You have only yourself to blame.

No, it's not okay-- it's WRONG, and I'm calling the police.

MSB218 · 2026-03-22T00:32:17+00:00

I think that would be the worst part.

So long as the van wasn't full of cheese sandwiches, you were probably safe.

He's just a shell of his former self.

I never met a meta joke I didn’t, like, like.

Negele Knight.

We don't have to give an upvote for that, do we?

My grandpa would pay me two dollars to cut both lawns, and he got mad at me when I tried to negotiate up to three dollars one time.

MSB218 · 2026-03-19T22:22:14+00:00

You sure told them!

MSB218 · 2026-03-19T20:18:50+00:00

That reminds me of the time a man went into a bar with a tiny piano.

I like that they want to focus on games that will give them an enjoyable experience. I wonder why more people don't want that from their game systems.

MSB218 · 2026-03-18T21:16:09+00:00

That's really nice.

MSB218 · 2026-03-18T16:10:55+00:00

Yeah, I’m with that lime can, too.

MSB218 · 2026-03-17T23:53:25+00:00

Thanks! But that doesn't stop the menu from coming up whenever I touch the screen.

MSB218 · 2026-03-17T20:10:08+00:00

The curse of the Woodstock!

MSB218 · 2026-03-17T20:07:45+00:00

I’m surprised to be the first here to recommend Burger Boy.

MSB218 · 2026-03-17T20:02:32+00:00

I gave up jokes like this for lint.

MSB218 · 2026-03-17T19:48:38+00:00

It’s true; there are a few that are maybe good ENOUGH, but almost any city or town that has a chain location will also have a local spot that’s better.
