[booster11373]

<p>There have been a ton of movies and to a lesser extent TV shows focused about growing up, coming of age, being a kid etc.&nbsp;in both the 1950's and 1960's, examples Stand by Me, Grease, American Graffiti, Diner to name a few&nbsp;</p><p>The have also been a few movies focused on the 1930's and 1940's although no to the extent of the 50's and 60's Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues, Radio days</p><p>all these movies were made after the time they have been depicting so my question is where are the 1970's and 1980's nostalgia movies? </p><p>Why do you think there arent more movies made that focus about youth during the 1970/1980's?</p><p>And what are some of your favorites?</p>

It's not a movie, but since the series was so short lived (though critically acclaimed), it doesn't take long to watch.</p>
