That reminds me of commentary I saw on a survey about 12 years ago. It asked people of my generation severl similar questions, one of which was: What is the movie that defines your generation?

The top two were:

Schindler's List

and

wait for it...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The commentator was enraged! One movie was a beautiful love poem to life, its meaning, its sometimes lack of meaning, and what it means to be human! The other one is just about Nazis!

Obviously he was being (or at least was trying to be) sarcastic. But funny.
