<p>movies that our generation would have some kind of idea about lol</p>

<p>Best one ever filmed: Some Like It Hot. Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis. If “your generation” hasn’t seen it, rent it or download it. (Ever hear of Netflix? Even my generation can figure out how to use it.)</p>

<p>ETA: Victor, Victoria. Very funny.</p>

<p>To find movies with “blockbuster” popularity and “gender-twisted roles” you may have to look beyond your “generation,” whatever that is.</p>

<p>Transamerica isn’t a blockbuster, either…it’s an indie flick.</p>
