Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall, Parker Posey, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair, Jennifer Love Hewitt, et al. Any movie with a Gen X ensemble cast is soooooo comforting to me. I can sit and enjoy the movie because everyone is at least vaguely recognizable and/or I can sit on my phone and satisfyingly look up every single actor's IMDb/Wikipedia.

* Tiny Furniture (2010), dir. Lena Dunham — Girls before Girls!!!
“After graduating from film school, Aura (Lena Dunham) returns to New York to live with her photographer mother, Siri (Laurie Simmons), and her sister, Nadine (Grace Dunham), who has just finished high school. Aura is directionless and wonders where to go next in her career and her life. She takes a job in a restaurant and tries unsuccessfully to develop relationships with men, including Keith (David Call), a chef where she works, and cult Internet star Jed (Alex Karpovsky).”
* Young Adult (2011), dir. Diablo Cody — one of my favorites…
“Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) is a successful writer of teen literature who returns to her hometown with a dual mission: to relive her glory days and steal away her now-married high-school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). However, her mission does not go exactly to plan, and she finds her homecoming more problematic than she expected. Instead, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt), who has also found it difficult to move past high school.”
* Frances Ha (2012), dir. Noah Baumbach — the dinner party scene especially is so real
“A story that follows a New York woman, who doesn't really have an apartment. She apprentices for a dance company although she's not really a dancer, and throws herself headlong into her dreams.”
