Best films/TV for reasons inscrutable?

Wall Street, Gordon Gekko is pretty much the ultimate yuppie stereotype.

In National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation they have yuppie neighbours.

I can't believe I forgot about Metropolitan. I love that movie so much, it's unreal 😭

West Wing isn't 80s but nails the yuppie/PMC view of politics prior to recent events.

Weird, just today I was practicing my rant about West Wing fans (people ask me if I've watched it and I don't have a polite response). (it's not that coincidental, I practice a lot of rants in case I ever go to a psych)

West Wing continues the actual ethos but is far from what a 2024 West Wing fan would consider a cliche yuppie, I'm trying to lean more into the latter.

Yeah I realize you were going for more satirical depictions with your list but :marseyshrug: my mom was an actual 80s yuppie and everyone in her circles from NYC genuinely love it. :marseydisgust:

Sorkin style dialogue with witty quips and impromptu diatribes is generally spot on for how they see themselves. :marseysuicide:
