    19 Straight Films That Didn't Mind Call Me By Your Name's Age Gap

    Hey, remember when conservatives said the age difference was supposedly what grossed them out about Call Me by Your Name, the critical darling involving a relationship between a 24-year-old and 17-year-old man? Like how James Woods got all bothered by it until Amber Tamblyn introduced some very relevant facts? Oh, and before they started advancing a man who trolled malls for dates while in his 30s as the best possible option for U.S. senator in Alabama? Well, while the movie continues to garner acclaim, it seemed a good time to look at the long history of straight films with this same type of age gap between romantic leads.
