What are some movies that you feel capture the essence of our generation?

Movies that capture the essence our generation. Say a film you could put in a time capsule that would show future generations aspects of our lives today.

I was thinking The Social Network as one example, because it shows our society's new dependence on social media. Thank you!

Justin Bieber, Never Say Never. The motion picture sensation of the century.

Gay niggers from outer space

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is pretty social and same goes for It's Kind of a Funny Story. Both deal with how teenagers in our generation deal with difficult times.

The Social Network is a perfect example of the dependence on the social media.
Mean Girls is a perfect example of High School
Fame is a perfect example how every teenager wants to be famous... Pathetic teens anyway.

I agree with The Social Network

I'd also add:
Mean Girls (or Easy A..movies like that)
The American Pie franchise
Fahrenheit 9/11 -- Just because that was one huge event in our lives
The Matrix (and any other dystopian films that center around our dependence on technology)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Brought a classic epic novel to life for a whole new generation
Toy Story
