B-Rant- submitted by b-team on 09/13/2007Top 10 Movies Centered On SuburbiaThere are so many suburban-themed movies. We had a hard time paring down our list to 10. Our only rule, apart from liking the pic: Suburbia has to play a meaningful role in the plot. It can't just be the setting.   THE 'BURBS - submitted by Anonymous on 09/14/2007

I saw the Burbs and thought it was funny. But I liked Money Pit better, that scene where Tom Hanks is buried in rubble in his basement is a riot. Sweet list. Ever see Ice - submitted by Anonymous on 09/14/2007
Sweet list. Ever see Ice Storm? Doesn't get any bleaker colder in the burbs than that. I needed therapy after seeingg it. Why are movies where the - submitted by Anonymous on 09/14/2007
Why are movies where the suburubs are considered bleak havens for depravity always put on a pedastal? The Hollywood types who write these from their ivory towers figure this is what red state voters are really like. One of my favorites is ET, where the feds invade the suburbs and almost kill the creature there, who just wants to get home. The climactic bike chase through the suburban landscape is an adolescent kid's ultimate fantasy suburban movies - submitted by Anonymous on 09/14/2007

You forgot "Disturbia" that came out last year a very good murder mystery, I thought so at least. Suburbia Movies - submitted by moviebuff on 09/15/2007
Great list as well as the additional ones that also have been named. I have another one for you The Graduate. You can not get a better view of late 60's in southern California suburban scene. One last comment regarding Ordinary People the setting was suburban Chicago, Lake Forest to be exact. The Money Pit...Was the best - submitted by TrueRedWhiteandBlue on 09/15/2007
The Money Pit...Was the best of the list!!! Hollywood wants to portray Where REGULAR people live as HELL...As they sit in their ivory towers...That WE pay for!!! Lobved the Money Pit. - submitted by Anonymous on 09/15/2007
Lobved the Money Pit. Cracked up the whole time, Tom Hanks was great. CHUMSCRUBBER! - submitted by Docidu on 09/16/2007

what about United States of Leland? Too Limited - submitted by Karl Steel on 09/16/2007
Why the Money Pit rather than Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House? That said, I've never seen the Tom Hanks version, but I think the original, well, stinks (Myrna Loy is just wasted). Why all American films? Surely <i>Mon Oncle</i> is better than at least half these movies. Over the Edge - submitted by Anonymous on 09/17/2007
Classic southwestern about a new burb where the kids run amok. Amazing sound track featuring everything from Todd Rundgren to Cheap Trick to the Ramones. A VERY young Matt Dillon is featured. Considered a classic in France. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Edge_(film) I like this list. There - submitted by moviegirl on 09/17/2007
I like this list. There could be many others on it but i see how you can't have everything. I liked Money pit. It was stupdi and obvious but there were a lot of laughs, the physical humor wqas excellent. LOL Suburbia without "Suburbia"? - submitted by Anonymous on 09/17/2007
How can you have a "Top 10 Movies Centered On Suburbia" without mentioning "Suburbia"? -1996, giovanni ribisi, parker posey, a great movie which is better than any on your list. Another good movie is, "Bully", from 2001. And i haven't seen it yet, but isn't suburbia a main element in "Prozac Nation"? Suburbia - submitted by Emet on 09/17/2007
Personally, I like more upbeat films -- Peggy Sue Got Married The Family Man Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House (the original Money Pit) Fun With Dick and Jane (the original version) are some that come to mind. Parenthood - submitted by Bored Member on 09/18/2007

This may seem obvious from the title, but I really like Richard Linklater's adaptation of Eric Bogosian's "SubUrbia." It's an oft-forgotten gem.
