   Well, it WAS made before he was born...   
      
   I'm reminded of when "Titanic" was released and an editorial cartoon showed   
   people waiting in line to the theater.   
      
   Some adults (in front of some teens who are, presumably, strangers) are   
   talking about the sinking.   
      
   Guess how the teen boy reacts?   
      
   (But I think it just might have been a good idea, in the movie, NOT to reveal   
   that, early on. Think of future generations, after all. Of course, that would   
   mean rewriting it considerably.)    
      
   At any rate, even though there are new movies every year, there will always be   
   a handful of movies that no teenager will be unaware of, at least - and I   
   don't even mean the 1977 "Star Wars."    
      
   I'm thinking of Monty Python movies. Is it POSSIBLE to find even a dozen   
   teens, from any one high school, who have never seen even one Python movie?    
      
   And I suspect that "Harold and Maude" is pretty well known even among   
   millennials, but I'm not quite sure.
