Boomer movies

What's the essential baby boomer movie? What films did your dad like the most? My dad loved Mel Gibson and Stallone stuff. Lethal Weapon and Rocky, specially

Forrest Gump is the whole boomer life summarized

Any john Wayne movie, the good the bad and the ugly, really most westerns before the 80s

Damn, beat me to the punch.

Pretty accurate. My parents own a Blu-ray player but only one Blu-ray. It's Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump
Fargo
The Big Labowski

This is the quintessential boomer movie.

This is the gayest movie ever. Why do boomers love it so much?

It’s up there, but Caddyshack is the ultimate boomer movie

This. Nothing else even comes close. This is the favorite movie of every boomer I know, and I’ve never met a non boomer who even enjoyed it.

Did you learn the term boomer from Yea Forums? People use it ironically. That’s the quintessential gen X movie.

My dad liked The Passion. He was a big Christian and an antisemite

2 of the main characters are literal boomers. the film's writer is a boomer. caddyshack has nothing in common culturally in gen X.
now all of the john hughes movies? actual gen X movies.

Captain Ron

Any 80's action

Actual boomers top tier movie

Okay, you gotta be young as hell to mention that as boomer film.

My dad and his friends all love The Warriors.

Bullit

What? No. The quintessential gen x movies consist of stuff like Clerks, Empire Records, Reality Bites and Dazed and Confused.

Because it reminds boomers of the good old days. For boomer women is reminds them of when they got to fuck around too.

Based retarded poster

All of those movies are 2nd and 3rd wave GenX movies, Caddyshack is 1st wave.

Big Lebowski is the definition of boomer

The Searchers

I don’t know about that. My dad was 27 when Caddyshack came out in 1980. Gen X people would’ve been babies or in elementary school when Caddyshack was in theaters.

Falling Down is pure conservative boomer fantasy.

Actually late middle school to early high school, but a'ight.

It's not about when it came out, it's about who it appeals to...
That being said, I agree. Fargo and Big Lebowski are definitely Gen X or really, REALLY last-wave boomer movies.

True although I generally think of Gen X as people that were graduating high school through early 20s in the early to mid 90s.

My dad really loves Clint Eastwood.

Dirty Harry maybe?

That and Death Wish are peak boomer action flicks for sure.

American Graffiti, Slap Shot, and Star Wars.

Some of my Dad’s favorite movies:
A Bridge too Far
Chariots of Fire
Mr. Holland’s Opus
Dances with Wolves

My dad told me he used to drop acid and go see 2001

nigger the boomer we're talking about is at most 30 years old, we're not talking baby boomers but Yea Forums boomers

Based. My dad wasn't Christian, but I think he was one of the first Alex Jones subscribers in Europe. He made me watch all these shitty dvds, endgame and zeitgeist I think it was called. He took all these fucked up supplements and lost his mind. He fucking loved this movie.

Just so you know, a generation's span is measured from when the last generation's oldest have their first babies. That span is usually 25 years long. So you can be born right inside of somebody else's generation.
Gen X started 1965 and ended 1989.

Except OP specifically stated that he’s talking about actual boomers, retard. Nice reading comprehension.

He's talking about his dad's movie preferences in the OP you mongoloid, it's obviously about regular boomers.

My father is a late boomer and those are among his favorite movies.

Bridge on the River Kwai
12 Angry Men

Dr. Zhivago
The Legend of Bagger Vance

Yeah, there you are.

Dazed and confused is late boomer. High schoolers in the mid-late 70s were boomer.

Fair enough. Any coming of age comedy/drama from the mid-90s about college slackers finding themselves is definitely peak Gen X. Bonus points if they work at a record store or something like High Fidelity.

post-college slackers*

Although I'm a x-er and I love it, I have to agree, as I am the only x-er I've ever met that does.

If we're talking about coming of age, Dazed and Confused is a Gen X movie. Even the youngest boomers would've been 30 in 1993. Older ones would've been pushing 40. I agree Caddyshack is still a boomer movie, but it's boomer comedy. It's not coming of age.

The Graduate is the quintessential boomer coming of age movie.

Satanic trips of truth. The Graduate is very emblematic of bommerdom. My father always despised it though lol
