Vor MonatRob Kirby
8 mile? Eminem is Gen X, and the movie is too.
Vor MonatRob Kirby
@Sharvil.Turbadkar, I get that. I agree. 8 Mile is a Gen X movie like Dazed and Confused is a Boomer movie, though. It's about the lives of those generations.
Vor 23 TageSharvil.Turbadkar
@Rob Kirby lol I just said it it’s not about the musicians life it’s about the fans and the audience who were shaped by the music at that time . Eminem defined my middle school and high school Early 00’s were filled with Eminem wannabes in my high school We were shaped by Eminem and other gen x artists like linkin park , jay z
Vor 23 TageRob Kirby
@Sharvil.Turbadkar , I was born in October 1978. Most of the artists I grew up listening to were older Gen X. That doesn't change the fact 8 Mile is about a Gen Xers life. How do Millennials relate? I've never even seen Sid and Nancy and have no interest because their lives don't connect to mine.
Vor 23 TageSharvil.Turbadkar
@Rob Kirby sid and Nancy defined gen x although it was about the lead singer of Sex Pistols who was a boomer It is not about the singer it’s about the audience who grew up listening to their idol who are the fans
Vor 23 TageRob Kirby
@Sharvil.Turbadkar, the MOVIE is about a Gen X guy and his life, so...

Napoleon dynamite is the dumbest movies ever made. It doesn't define anything other than people's enjoyment of absolute crap.
Vor MonatGus Z
Okay the descriptions of why these movies embody millennials are cheesy and stupid. However, I agree with ever single one of your pics lol.
Vor MonatEvan Doyle
So was Bigger, Longer and Uncut considered a Gen X movie? I'm right on the border so it's difficult sometimes for me to define the generations based on 1996-2004 media.
Vor MonatBOOMbox Martian
Scott Pilgrim is one of the most underrated movies. Its so good and should legit be considered one of the best comic book adaptation movies ever. IMO.

this is basically my netflix account. born in 1986.

Did any black people or people of color help with this list
Vor MonatYourPiranhaPastor
All these defining movies revolve around white millennials. I never would have thought of including Easy A on this list, I would have swapped it with 21 or 22 Jump Street!

This list is pretty lukewarm compared to other recent videos/lists.

If your born in 1981 how does a movies that came out in 2017 define you haha

These are the movies that defined millennials? I’m a millennial and I didn’t see or didn’t like any of these movies. Except for Superbad

Vor Monatbibby42
There are 2 millennials, the older generation and the younger generation. You can't classify them both as part of the same group. For instance, I was born in 85, while X-Men and Spiderman etc were a staple of Saturday mornings, the younger millennial wasn't even born yet. When Juno, Superbad, Napoleon Dynamite came out I was in my late teens/ early 20s and the younger generation were around 10 and would not care for any of those.

Love this list. Boyhood, Garden State, and (500) Days of Summer picks are strong. The Social Network at #1 is a slam dunk. Burning would be another great addition. It's like an updated Great Gatsby.

Vor MonatTheonetruewonderfly
Should be "Top 10 Depictions of Millennials" not "Top 10 Movies that Define Millennials", because the defining movies for Millennials are ones that influenced their childhood or teenage years or their young adult years. Stuff like the original "Batman" film from 1989, or Space Jam, or Jumanji, maybe the first Harry Potter film...."Toy Story" was actually a good fit.
Vor MonatDonald Chavis
I hated Garden State, it just seemed super whiny. When it came out though, Braff was an indie darling too.
