Movies about Nihilistic Youth
 

I'm looking for movies about Nihlistic Youth. I don't care if they are good or bad. In fact the worse the better, probably.

I'm thinking of stuff like the Doom Generation and Kids.

Goof Troop.

You touched on the right topic, Jixby, because the movie I'm working on now is about nihilistic Hollywood Youth. I'm trying to bring the 1960s teen exploitation flick up to date.

William Wyler's "Wild Boys of the Road" ( http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0024772/ ) is one of the best, and earliest, films of this genre. The whole film is basically a call to ancarchy, which is hysterical because the film was made just before the Haye's Code, so this type of stuff was pretty much missing in the films throughout the entire decade following. At the end of the film FDR comes out and makes it all better, very very enjoyable.

What is Nihlistic Youth? or did you mean youth who are nihlistic?

The Who's Quadrophenia

Maybe not "nihilistic", but Truffaut's 400 Blows is classic.

The talented Tsai Ming-Liang's The River and What Time is it There? are more about generational alienation than nihilism, but they are definitely worth checking out. And on that theme, there's always The Graduate.

Kids was a great movie, Larry Clark made Gummo kinda like that to...I think i did a review for kids. The Outsiders and Bully i think, too.

Do they have to be movies? Cause I know a whole shitload of books about nihilistic youth. :/

FIGHT CLUB :lol

-willie

Goonies :lol

A Clockwork Orange :(

That's a movie and a book about youth who are nihilists :(

He believes in Ludwig von Beethoven though.

I love the Goonies :love

Too bad most people my age haven't seen it. >:

The Big Lebowski :lol

I fucks you! :lol

SLC Punk. Total Eclipse (kinda).

POKEMON!

if i knew what nihilistic meant id say "rules of attraction"

If "nihilistic" meant "huge pile of shit" and "worst movie ever" you may have had a post.

Nihilistic means you don't like society and you just want to fuck things up.

Heathers.

I used to think that Royal had good taste in movies :(

I thought nihilism is believing in nothing.
