When their friend Alex dies by suicide, a group of eight friends reunite 15 years after they left college. Kevin Costner was cast as Alex in The Big Chill, but all the scenes showing his face were cut as a creative choice. A movie for baby boomers, by baby boomers, about baby boomers.

The Graduate stars Dustin Hoffman as an aimless, 21-year-old graduate who is seduced by the married Mrs. Robinson (Bancroft) while dating her daughter (Ross). It’s based on Charles Webb’s 1963 novel of the same name. One of the most memorable soundtracks of any era, it’s defined most by the Simon & Garfunkel classic “Mrs. Robinson.”

The Godfather (1972)

Writers: Winston Groom, Eric Roth

Forrest Gump (Hanks) might not be a smart man, but he knows what love is — and he constantly falls into dumb luck. In this 1995 Best Picture winner, the story of American history from the 1950s to the 1970s is told through Forrest’s eyes as he makes it his mission in life to be with Jenny (Robin Wright), the woman he loves. It’s Zelig for baby boomers.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Director: Terence Young

Writers: Richard Mailbaum, Johanna Harwood, Berkely Mather

Cast: Sean Connery, Ursula Andress

Arriving just as many baby boomers began their teens, the first Bond movie introduced them to the possibilities of adventure, travel, romance, and doing good. Its Cold War bona fides were rock solid — Bond is very much part of the anti-communist side — which meant kids could dream of having fun while taking on America’s Soviet adversaries.

Also, the Ursula Andress emerging from the ocean scene was forever imprinted on many Baby Boomers.

Easy Rider (1969)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Director: George Roy Hill

Writer: William Goldman

Cast: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones, Jeff Corey, Sam Elliott

In Wyoming in the early 1900s, Butch Cassidy (Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Redford) run a band of outlaws. After battles, bank robberies, and a love affair, they decide to escape the law and escape to far-off Bolivia. No one says it’s about boomer values, but it’s an obvious metaphor for a very 1960s emphasis on discarding the old rules.
