Actually, we didn't have many of the high school/teen-type films. I was amazed to take a look at some of my notebooks to see films I watched. The majority of films appealed to everyone and still do. Maybe we did all of the silly teen comedies in the Fifties and especially the Sixties (beach and ski party, etc.).I selected movies that I remembered children, teens and 20somethings talking about.

The "Porky's" movies were in the Eighties, not the Seventies.
