Yeah, you would have related to it as a HIGH SCHOOL MOVIE. You wouldn't look at it and say "You know that's the times I'm living in."

And what about the Millenials who were born from 1990 - 2000? Over half of your generation isn't going to know a world without MTV, Microwaves, Internet, AIDS, etc. It would be completely foreign. Why would they see a movie from 1986 and be "Yeah, that defines me and my generation."

IT'S A MOVIE OF EVERY ERA! You are honestly making no sense. What is your point? How is Remember the Titans at all on point when you even write that TEACHERS AND STUDENTS relate to it? How can it be of a certain generation when it's from the 60's and has a message that spans all generations? How is that a Millenial Movie?

Just because you can relate to a movie doesn't make it the definitive movie of that generation.

Honestly, since you completely ignore the concept of a movie defining a time period, this whole thing is moot.
