Gen X Classics

Gen X grew up during the nadir of Hollywood, when budgets were cut, smaller, cult films got made, and then we saw its rebirth in the 80s blockbuster era. And then instead of waiting years for movies to filter down to TV, these newfangled video stores popped up to give us access to tens of thousands of movies, familiar, overlooked, obscure, and just weird.
