It's a pretty awful film but I have a soft spot for it: Wild In the Streets (1968). It's an alternate history where the Boomers are able to muster the people power to not only change the minimum voting age to fourteen, but run a hippie candidate in 1968 (as a Republican, no less) and win. The hippie administration promptly decides to impose a mandatory retirement age of 30 and forcefully haul anyone of retirement age to LSD concentration camps. No, really. What's interesting about the film is that it can't seem to decide whether it's sympathetic to Boomers of the time or if it's a moral panic film warning of the dire consequences of hippiedom receiving mainstream acceptance. Either way, it's an amusing film and I'd be interested to see what Rifftrax would do with it.
