You left off the best one in Kicking and Screaming (1995)

best movie that tackles that awkward transition from college to the "real world"

Never Been Kissed (1999)


Isn't her character like 25 years old? She already came of age, I guess she wanted to come again.

Good Will Hunting (1997)

Are you a Rocky, a Colt or a Tum Tum? That would be a good buzzfeed quiz.

Most would say Colt but they’re probably Tum Tums.

Now realizing they’re pretty much the ninja turtles without Donatello.

Grandpa = Splinter
Rocky = Leonardo
Colt = Raphael
Tum Tum = Michelangelo

Not even a little bit. And I love most of those movies in your list. But the 80s movies just nailed what it was like to be a kid during that time. And a lot of that innocence (and lack of technology) couldn’t be captured on the 90s.

And I also realize that I’m partial to them since I was an 80s kid. But being 10-20 in the 90s, I still had an attachment to these types of movies too.

Wow. I correctly called the freshman chick that Grover hooks up with…Frank the Tank’s wife in Old School. Quote proud of that one!

You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about.
