Moviewise, at least, I think the premise is getting somewhat lost here. Would you really say that someone born in the late '80s had missed out on a historical moment because they were not around when "Pulp Fiction" or "Batman" came out. For that to be true, there has to have been significant controversy about what they accomplished. I don't think anybody rioted over these art forms the way they did about "Rites of Spring" or other avant garde endeavors in the early 20th Century.

By that standard, I would say that of the movies on ISM's list, "The Exorcist" is the most relevant. I would say that "Deep Throat" is more relevant than any of the other movies that have been talked about so far.

While the fall of the wall has been mentioned, I would think you late '70s types would say that not having lived through Reagan's presidency was a major loss.
