40 Movies Those Under 40 Should (But Probably Don't) Know (Psychology Today)

Fully two-thirds of my students are writing screenplays. I bet most of the people you know who are under 40 are doing the same.
Yet the only thing many of them know about movie history is that The Lion King is really cool and that Pacino's Scarface contains the line, "Say 'hello' to my little friend."
And even the ones who are not currently writing screenplays consider themselves film buffs although—since "buff" is not a word a lot of them use except when discussing the male physique—they often just say, "I really, really like films. I know quite a bit about them, actually."
