Movies about coming of age?
I have seen almost every coming of age film, and I swear I can't find any I haven't seen. I want more, though. Care to give some favorites?

If you haven't, I heartily recommend Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

If you are open to foreign movies.
Udaan (2010)- A Hindi movie. Killa (2014)- A Marathi movie. Both are gems. |
Re: Movies about coming of age?
There are some really good Coming of Age TV Series. Check out Skam, Freaks and Geeks, Skins, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, O Ninho, My Mad Fat Diary, Daria, if you haven't.

Re: Movies about coming of age?
I'll second Holden's recommendation of Breaking Away, which is hands down my favorite in the genre.

You've probably seen these but they haven't been mentioned yet-
The Last American Virgin Fast Times at Ridgemont High Stand By Me The Breakfast Club Sixteen Candles Pretty in Pink Dazed and Confused Almost Famous Mask The Virgin Suicides Ghost World |
Re: Movies about coming of age?
When I Grow Up (1951) Low-key, forgotten and surprisingly relevant today. Needs to be restored to pristine condition; available now only on YouTube.

Re: Movies about coming of age?
The Man in the Moon (1991)
My Dog, Skip (2000) |
Re: Movies about coming of age?
I'm not sure what exactly counts as such but here's some I think fit the bill (and yes, due to me being a horror fan many of these are horror themed):
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) Let the Right One In (2008) Léon: The Professional (1994) Ginger Snaps (2000) Kick-Ass (2010) The Reflecting Skin (1990) Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) The Dark (2018) Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural (1973) Tideland (2005) Carrie (1976) The Falling (2014) Carny (1980) These are probably a bit more marginal but at least they have similar themes: Poison for the Fairies (1984) Forbidden Games (1952) Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) The Prodigy (2017) Dark Touch (2013) Also :up: for the Freaks and Geeks series mentioned by @Holden Pike. |
Re: Movies about coming of age?
A couple more I forgot to mention: Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service and Naoko Yamada's A Silent Voice.
