section Summary
 
 
A vast multitude of movies have been made in an attempt to realistically recreate many generations on screen. Almost every generation has had a movie made to express the thoughts of the people within it. After searching several movies, I watched two in order to see which best represents our generation, Mean Girls and Dazed and Confused. After watching the movies, I found that Mean Girls more accurately portrays our generation than Dazed and Confused does. Both movies include many topics that can relate to our generation.

Keywords: popularity, our generation, Matthew McConaughey, Lindsay Lohan
