15 Greatest Comedy Movies Produced by the Boomer Generation
The baby boomer generation was the result of GIs returning from World War II and going to college, purchasing homes, and starting families. Many were drafted to fight in Vietnam, and those that weren’t, watched the first televised war tear their friends to pieces. It’s a unique generational sentiment, watching one’s government transform from the heroes of the 1940s to the manipulative phonies of the 1970s. The cinema they produced was very much a response to that shift.
