Ahhh growing up, what a time! Feelings that you don’t fully understand! Responsibilities you never asked for! Hair in places you never expected! The end of one’s adolescence is a turbulent event, just like high school Health class said it would be. It’s such a significant turning point in a person’s life that we’ve invented a whole genre about it! If you want to be pretentious, you could call that genre the “bildungsroman” – don’t ask me why, I’m not Google. If you want anyone besides English Lit majors to know what you’re talking about, just call it a “coming of age” – and then point them towards these 10 best coming of age films of all time.
