Lifeguard (1976)

Enjoying his life working as a lifeguard since he was a teenager, thirty-something Sam Elliott reevaluates his priorities after reuniting with a high school girlfriend at his fifteen year high school reunion. There’s a lot of awful misogyny and a really problematic sexual relationship, which some might be able to wave it off as being of a particular time. I had a hard time doing so, but it really speaks to the cool of Elliott that he still manages to be a charming protagonist despite all that.
