Growing up is hard to do. The rites-of-age, the first loves, the best friends. That summer you realized you weren’t a kid anymore. The family secret that blew your childhood world apart. The body you and your friends found in the woods. There’s no sub-genre that gets us in the feels quite like coming-of-age films. Put your adulting aside for a moment and pick out your most beloved on-screen transitions from childhood to adulthood in all their tender, awkward, scary and downright weird glory.

I'm getting seriously good at predicting this shit. Once again I watched an apt film for consideration the night before the showdown theme was announced: The 400 Blows.

This list is yet another showdown list to incorporate The Breakfast Club, To Kill A Mockingbird etc...

This is one of those lists I could have gone on and on with.
