    A private respondent suggested 'Adventureland', which sounds promising; en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure… Now I must sleep. Night night!

    @johndodds Yeah, there were a bunch of gen X movies like that at the time, but they were set at the same time (not period pieces).

    @chrislunch Ah, sounds good(?) thanks!

    Meanwhile, if anyone wants to make a movie of US teens driving around at night in 1993 listening to grunge, there's a gap in the market.

    @jamesweiner @infovore Brilliant, but not a movie :p

  • philgyford’s avatar

    Many thanks for suggestions. 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' mentioned a couple of times. 'Diner' also similar too, of course.

    @GennHutchison I haven't seen that, ta - I'll look out for it. Good luck with the filming btw!

    @gsvoss @blech I don't know that, but shall look out for it, thanks.

    @Ed209uk Oh yes, we watched that a while back but I forgot it. Ta.

    Obviously, the word "similar" literally means nothing any more.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    You know, like 'American Graffiti' and 'Dazed and Confused'.

    To clarify, I'm not after *any* movies set in a previous decade… Movies set in 80s/90s of US teens driving round listening to music?

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @blech And I was more after "American teens driving round listening to music"…

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @tedmills Yeah, but similar as in "bunch of teenagers driving around town listening to music"?

  • philgyford’s avatar

    I'd forgotten quite how good 'Dazed and Confused' is. "I just wanna dance!"

  • philgyford’s avatar

    'American Graffiti' made 1973, set 1962. 'Dazed and Confused' made 1993, set 1976… any similar films set in '80s or '90s but made later?
