UtSGFoOG – 1997

1997, y’all!  How’s it feel to be 14??  Pret-ty good.



Chris has given us 5 movies from this fine year for us to choose as the ultimate generation-defining, not really that good, but we love it to this day, movie of 1997.  The official post is here.

After reading his post, I went straight to Netflix and added one of the movies to my instant watch list.  And watched it.  Instantly.  Any movie that can have that impact should get my vote – and it did.



Without further ado, the nominees are:  Air Force One, Con Air, The Devil’s Advocate, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Breakdown.



And now here’s my breakdown (get it?):





Air Force One:  Harrison Foooooooord!!  Don’t mess with the prez!  Loved it.

Con Air:  Didn’t see it.

The Devil’s Advocate:  Don’t remember it.

Breakdown:  Didn’t see it.

I Know What You Did Last Summer:  The N’Sync of the millenial-horror genre.  Scream successfully ushered in a slew of bad teenage horror movies and what better movie to define our generation than the first of that onslaught.  Amiright?  Look it wasn’t that great, but that didn’t stop me from watching it 12+ times in high school.  And it certainly didn’t stop me from opening up my web browser and starting this puppy up on the ‘flix.  That’s right y’all.  IKWYDLS gets my vote for 1997.



Big surprise.



Do you agree with my vote? Disagree? Go vote!

Next round is a Wild Card round where Chris will select the movies that people have made a fuss about being missing from the first round (it pays to make a fuss).  Then we’ll select the official winner from the winners.  

And that’ll be it.
