Where are the new actors for the GENERATION X, man?

The new Judd Nelsons

The Breakfast Club

Making the Grade

St. Elmo's Fire

The new Christian Slaters

Pump up the volume

Gleaming the Cube

The new Richard Griecos

If looks could kill

Born to run

I love these movies! Normal young man.... fighting everybody! Fighting the system!!

....it's sad! Where are they? The GENERATION X movies!!

Bwahhah Richard Greico's probably flipping burgers now.

I'm actually wondering what happened to Generation X in general - nobody seems to talk about them anymore. It's still all about the "Baby Boomers" or the "Greatest Generation" or whatever came after Gen-Xers.

... Gleaming the Cube? :lol

 

[Error Macro]

The whole social climate of the 80's breeded these movies, man. It's not quite the same nowadays.



Gleaming The Cube was rad.

Well, it wasn't quite as good as the Rad!, but still rad nonetheless.

Yup.

I loved those goofy movies from the 80s too, but they just don't make those kind of movies anymore. Since the 90s you have to act like you don't care about anything, you can't make a movie with goofballs like they had in in the 80s. Teen movies have suffered greatly as a result. I also miss the crazy action movies of the 80s too. Movies like Commando never get old.

The "Greatest Generation" was BEFORE Generation X.

 

[Chipopo]

...as were the Baby Boomers

 

[explodet]

It wasn't a chronological list.
I haven't heard the term "Generation X" in a long time, is all.

 

[ShadowRed]

I take it you missed Singles and about 3 other movies that came out around the same time. Can't think of their names off the top of my mind.

 

[Dujour]

I thought this was about the Generation X comic book tv movie that was on fox many, many years ago, not about has-beens

 

[Kabuki Waq]

if looks could kill rocked.

 

[tree fiddy]

If you're into Japanese films, check out Bright Future. It's a modern gen-x type movie.

 

[belgurdo]

Generation X comic book tv movie

*crying purple thing*

 

[Iceman]

Bottlerocket - The Wilson brothers (Owen and Luke)
Swingers - Vince Vaughn

Also The Outsiders, The Lost Boys, Mallrats and Boyz N the Hood deserve some mention.
