SLC Punk! (1998)

Set against the backdrop of Salt Lake City’s conservative culture, rebellious punk Stevo (Matthew Lillard) and his best friend Bob (Michael A. Goorjian) live life on the edge, rejecting authority and embracing chaos. But as Stevo faces the inevitable crossroads between reckless youth and adulthood, he begins to question his ideals, friendships, and the true meaning of rebellion. With its blend of humor, angst, and heart, SLC Punk! captures the wild spirit of the punk movement while delivering an unexpectedly emotional punch.

Clueless (1995)

Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school’s pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was — and falls for him.
