1. Project X (recent version)

2. Dazed and Confused

3. Waiting...

Dazed and confused, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ferris Buehler's Day Off, The Breakfast Club.

My life was like a mash-up of all 4......

But I would definitely NOT show them Less Than Zero. Not until they got older.

For childhood, it'd be "The Sandlot" and "Bad News Bears".

Tween years would be "Moonrise Kingdom"

"Superbad" is my high school experience to a T. It is exactly how my friends lived, thought, and behaved. I would show him that.

For college, "Community" and "22 Jump Street"

The age where they don't feel like you have any understanding of where they're coming from

High School: Superbad for sure. Take the McLovin subplot with the cops out, and that was pretty spot on.

Yeah...I concur it's perfectly 90's high school/college age.

And how everyone was lost...and just wanted to travel and go to Prague...instead of just complaining about how the beer was so much better over there.

The Fast and the Furious, just the first one.

Waiting is an extremely accurate representation of my life in the early-mid 20s.
