Thanks in advance! _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.
