Since American Graffiti and Chariots of Fire are here (both great films), what about Ordinary People? It was directed by Robert Redford and starred late Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore and Timothy Hutton. Another Best Picture winner (as Chariots of Fire). If you're okay with horror movies and reading subtitles, I recommend Train to Busan (2016). Quite interesting take on "zombie" genre.

I get clueless was a huge generational hit at the time, I just don't think it holds up that well later on. It's like Catcher in the Rye, if you don't read it/see it at the right time/age it just doesn't hold nearly as much impact. There's a lot of good movies on here though, hard to pick. But in the spirit of an interesting movie experience that's probably always going to be a runner up because it's just a little too weird/unpopular, I'm going to go with Labyrinth!

I'm shocked that you haven’t seen Beetlejuice!

How does Clueless have more votes than Slumdog and Chariots of Fire combined? Come on GenX get in there and vote :)

Slumdog really restored my belief that films could be emotionally moving again. Chariots of Fire, like all sports movies, is also really uplifting.

Labyrinth criminally undervoted right now

Slumdog Millionaire is a must-see in my opinion. Of course, I'll still enjoy Clueless if it wins lol. I think Beetlejuice would be fun for a Halloween movie, Tim Burton is a genius and the cast is stacked.

yeah, looks like clueless is gonna win… it’s a cute movie - just don’t expect the quality of devil wears prada or 10 things! it’s very cheesy, very teenage romcom - doesn’t hold up extremely well in todays age but it’s still fun! hoping slumdog gets another chance some day ❤️❤️
