<p>I was going to post the 400 Blows!</p>
<p>Does Amélie count as a coming of age movie?
What about The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Lindsay Anderson’s If?</p>
<p>I wonder…could we consider Raise the Red Lantern one? Or is it just plain depressing?</p>
<p>Fly Away Home</p>
<p>A Little Romance (remember, kissing under the bridge of sighs…? sigh)</p>
<p>My personal guilty pleasure, “Igby Goes Down” .</p>
<p>

<p>Oh, yes, sbmom. That’s a great one!</p>
<p>The Chalk Garden
Rebel Without a Cause
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
Eve’s Bayou
Zefferelli’s Romeo and Juliet
Little Fugitive
Georgy Girl
To Kill a Mockingbird</p>
<p>I echo Fly Away Home. What a beautiful movie and what a soundtrack. Good stuff, SBmom. My D watched it over and over.</p>
<p>Will Diner fit the category? And how about Rumblefish?</p>
<p>Good Will Hunting, definitely.</p>
<p>Harold and Maude</p>
<p>sigh</p>
<p>I loved “October Sky”. My daughter hated it. Said it was too slow. Until recently when I told her it was Jake Gyllenhaal’s first major film. Now, she wants to see it again.</p>
<p>A sleeper that I would recommend is “All the Real Girls”. Small budget film shot in North Carolina. I rented it because Roger Ebert gave it five stars. It’s probably the most emotionally real portrayal of first young love … and the inevitable first heartbreak…I’ve ever seen. Wonderful, wonderful movie.</p>
<p>What came to my mind immediately was “the last picture show”
When is the “heart is a lonely hunter” coming out on dvd?
I don’t have a vcr anymore :(</p>
<p>i completely agree with bullwinkle’s list.</p>
<p>add to your lists “A Walk on the Moon” a small movie. I don’t think it was in wide release.</p>
<p>Gosh I’d forgotten Jake Gyllenhaal was in October Sky, now I want to see it again too!</p>
<p>Full Metal Jacket</p>
<p>No one’s mentioned “Mystic River,” so maybe it doesn’t fit the category. But I would include it.</p>
<p>There are a lot of great answers here, but (and I’m surprised given the makeup of this forum) you forgot “Real Genius.” Is my son the only forumite who wants to attend Pacific Tech? Smart people on ice…</p>
