Blazing SaddlesBoomers-The Films of the 60s and 70s

Baby boomers, those born somewhere in the "baby boom" after World War II, were somewhere between "-between age" and "young adults" in the 1960s and 70s. A look at the films produced through two decades of dredging countless memories for baby boomers and to define the age of Aquarius and the hippie movement at the time of the Vietnam War, Haight Ashbury, Woodstock and free love. These films are presented in order of the highest film extrapolation, the best barometer of the era:
