I'm writing an essay for a class and it has to be on movies that depict "generational wars." Anyone have any examples of films I could use for this essay?

I'm not quite sure if I'm going to answer this correctly, but I'll try. I think Platoon was a good movie about the generation of soldiers who fought that war.
Unfortunately, it seems that each generation goes to war and Vietnam was the war for the young people of the '60s.
There were many movies about World War II. I wasn't born then and didn't watch war movies as a child, so I don't know what movie to suggest for that.
I hope I've helped.

did you ever see an old film called "wild in the streets"
it is about : Max Flatow is a precocious, social miscreant who has a way with home-made explosives. When he tires of these, he runs away from home only to emerge seven years later as Max Frost, the world's most popular entertainer. When Congressman John Fergus uses Frost as a political ploy to gain the youth vote in his run for the Senate, Frost wills himself into the system, gaining new rights for the young. Eventually, Frost runs for the presidency. Winning in a landslide, he issues his first presidential edict: All oldsters are required to live in "retirement homes" where they are forced to ingest LSD, taking the 60s catch phrase "Never trust anyone over 30" to its most extreme consequences.

"The opening volley in an impending generational war has just been shot, and it's called Election."
This is a movie from 1999.
Maybe this will be of some help.
