Raise your hand if someone has ever yelled at you: “What do you mean you haven’t seen __________ movie?!” Without a doubt, I have been on the receiving end of this question. Sometimes it was a boyfriend baffled by the fact that I’d hadn’t seen Star Wars. Other times it would be my friends quoting Dirty Dancing while I just nodded along with nothing to contribute. Either way, I realized that some movies are really important to our pop culture. Some people argue that reading the news is the best way to keep up to date. I would say that watching movies can do the same thing. So here are the 10 movies you need to watch to be a legit adult. Say goodbye to Twilight and say hello to Dirty Dancing.
