John Bender? Spandau Ballet? Books on Elephantiasis?
A great movie for people of a certain age.
Watched it with the wife not too long ago. Still liked it. O0
In my Media & Culture class one of the things we talk about were films that captured a certain zeitgeist, and how there hasn't been a great one for the Millennials they way there were for Generations X and Y. As an example, we trace the arc of Generation X through high school in 4 movies...
Freshman year: Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sophomore year: Sixteen Candles
Junior Year: The Breakfast Club
Senior Year: Say Anything
There's a few interlopers that want to insert Heathers or Pretty in Pink or The Wild Life or Some Kind of Wonderful, but they're wrong ;)
Generation Y's movies were more post-high school, with things like Reality Bites and 200 Cigarettes as the real 'slice of life' movies for them.
My high school experience was closer to River's Edge.
Mine was one long "Lost Weekend".
I just got old enough to take a girl to the movies when "Jaws" came out and scared them all so bad, none of them would go.
another anniversary today

Ducky from NCIS is in The Great Escape.
As is Rockford from "The Rockford Files."
This could take a while.
Steve McQueen from Towering Inferno is also in it.
