_Reality Bites_ is a typical Gen X movie in that it was aggressively
marketed as the movie by and for Generation X (what a beautiful name for a
generation, no?). I'm not so sure, however, how much of its intended
audience saw or even liked the film.
Others to consider in the Generation X category:
Threesome What's Eating Gilbert Grape
and, by widening the frame of reference,
Boyz N the Hood, Poetic Justice, and Menace to Society might be included.
