  "title": "The Movies That Defined Gen X - Mark McInerney",
  "note": "So many great movies on this list and this one hits squarely with me — firmly Gen X.\n\n> These were our movies. Not galaxies far away, not fairy tales. Parking lots, parade floats, dead ends, second chances. We were always almost—almost boomers, almost millennials, almost grown up before the world caught fire. The reel runs out, and all that’s left is the ache of time passing, and the hope somebody was watching with us.\n\nMovies are stories and stories are how people share the best. Do the stories shape us or we shape the stories? Of course both. As I read this list so many of those movies lit up my brain with deep memories.",
