It teaches us that meaningful connections can arise unexpectedly, emphasizing that genuine love goes beyond mere physical attraction.

 

 

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming

 

 

We all know Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood superhero who's been a fixture on screens big and small for ages. “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, however, stands out for a special reason. It's often hailed as the funniest installment in the series because of how well it brings in today's technology and attitudes, making it especially relatable for younger viewers. As we follow Peter Parker through his high school adventures, the movie tackles the challenges of growing up in a tech-centric world. Here, smartphones, social media, and viral trends play a big role in shaping everyday life and interactions.

 

 

6. Someone Great

 

 

 

For all the Gen Z out there who have gone through a breakup and are missing their ex, or who is the only single friend in the group. "Someone Great," starring Gina Rodriguez, is the film for you. After a difficult breakup with her longtime boyfriend, she decides to have one last night of fun in New York City with her best friends, and in the process gains a lot of self-awareness.

 

 

7. Unicorn Store

 

 

If you're feeling a bit lost and uncertain in your twenties, Unicorn Store is the movie for you.

Throughout the journey, Kit discovers valuable lessons about staying true to herself, pursuing dreams, and finding her path in the world. The film is quirky, funny, and heartwarming, leaving you inspired to chase your own dreams, no matter how unconventional they might be.

 

 

8. The Edge of Seventeen

 

 

The Edge of Seventeen is a comedy reminder that being a teenager isn't always as romantic as other films or television shows make it out to be. It's a realistic entry into the Gen Z universe. Nadine, a high school student, notices that her best friend has begun dating her brother even though nothing seems to be improving in her life. Her bond with her teacher, Mr Bruner, provides her with limited relief. Mr Bruner, who is direct but sincere, gradually turns into Nadine's voice of reason when she is at her most unstable.

 

 

9. Eighth Grade

 

 

Eighth Grade takes Gen Zers back to their early social media days and the urge to fit in before it was normal to stand out, which is cringe-worthy but so worth it. Kayla Day is battling socially to stay afloat in her final week of eighth grade while maintaining a YouTube channel that no one is interested in. This movie is genuine and real; it avoids romanticizing the change from middle to high school and instead examines what it's like to not know who you are at that age and deal with fears.

17. Dude

 

 

During their final two weeks of high school, four best friends deal with loss, significant changes in their lives, and a lot of pot smoking. The movie is excellent.
