Some films about the suburban adolescent:
Terminator 2 (1991), Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991), Adventures in Babysitting (1987), Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), Home Alone (1990), The Rocketeer (1991), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
The Rocketeer brings Agrarianism in direct contact with extreme forms of technology. In this regard, the country inventor (Thomas Edison?) embodies the suburban mythos.
