Need to understand the full American graduating high school/entering college experience. Before 2001, where white Americans became concerned with activities extending beyond their own backyard.
Animal House
Correy Haim in License to Drive
Dazed and Confused
Revenge of the Nerds
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
John Hughes movies
White Americans 70s, 80s, early 90s.

Christine by John Carpenter

America's involvement in Vietnam takes some of the light heartedness out of the care-free American I'm looking for. Even if it's not mentioned, I'll know it's there.
>>68961885
>Superbad

>I lack reading comprehension
Try actually reading the OP, otherwise you're going to be comprehending my foot up your asses.
50 pills
Adventureland
Waiting
Ghost
Kicking and Screaming
Kind of jumping across time periods but good viewing
does the goonies fit in this category?
>>68961871

gotta be honest the trailer looks sub-par. looks like an unoriginal story arch with classic hazing bullshit, but maybe it's good
>>68966271
Perhaps you could trust the opinion of someone who has seen it 3 times rather than a trailer that is deliberately marketed to get normies in the seats.
Or you could trust the fact that it's one of the very best reviewed movies of the year:

>>68966016
How many years did it take to make?
>>68966271
Also what you just described sounds exactly like what someone would say about Dazed and Confused who hasn't seen it. Movies are not about plot you filthy pleb, especially when it comes to Linklater movies.
Breaking Away
Pump Up the Volume
Some Kind of Wonderful
Hardbodies
Vision Quest
The Ice Storm
Highschool High
>>68966582
On a side note. Finally got around to watch Flash Gordon a couple days ago. It's ridiculous, but also kino as fuck.
>>68966582
>Highschool High
My nigga
Detroit Rock City
Almost Famous
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Nothing tops Dazed and Confused for that category though.
>>68961871
Rebel without a cause?
Gentlemen Broncos and Napolean Dynamite might work

The trailer for Dazed and Confused is way less pleb. Yeah it's still marketed in a certain way but the EWS trailer looks more generic
>movies are not about plot
k bud
>especially in a Linklater movie
well you're right about that
>>68966856
>love one movie from a director
>hear nothing but endless praise for a new movie that is supposed to be similar to that old movie
>know it's from one of the best working American directors
>assume it's shit based on a trailer
you are the definition of a pleb

>>68967386
>assume it's shit
I said it looked bland but "maybe it's good" >>68966271
internet tough-guy alert
>>68966582
>Break
breaking away, the only one i can recall that has any meaning
>>68961871
Almost Famous
Spectacular Now is good, though its set in the 2000's. Same for Kings of Summer.
