Aquaman
This movie has done a wonderful job of staying close to its comic book roots. The visual effects are beautiful and believable.The storyline keeps it moving with a surprise near the end. Jason Momoa is absolutely perfect for this tough guy , coming of age, softie character. He knows what's important and fights to protect it. My 13 year old son who says he " HATES SUPERHEROES " loved this is movie.

"I would say that’s the first quintessential coming-of-age movie. It felt so real, and it just captured the freedom, danger, fear, hope, and everything that comes with being a kid. It’s one of the best movies ever made. It was such a shock to the world when it came out, too, and it was, like, “Oh, wow. You can make movies like this?” It stands up, too."

When it comes to "coming of age" novels, the first one that comes to mind is always <i>Catcher in the Rye</i>. But that was written in the 1950s and one wonders if it isn't a bit out of touch with the times. Then along came Alex Woods, who could very well be the Holden Caulfield of the 21st Century. Read why in my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/29/a-21st-century-holden-caulfield/

"Say Anything is just such a sweet coming-of-age movie. I just love everything about it: the romance, the comedy, the time period, the music, and the chemistry between the two lead characters. This movie was the beginning of a lot of great careers. The image of John Cusack and the Peter Gabriel song “In Your Eyes” is just so iconic. And Cameron Crowe is my favorite director of all time. If there were a sixth favorite film, it would have been Almost Famous."

"I’m a sucker for films of the “boy/girl and his/her dog (lion/bear/whatever)” variety. I love gritty British kitchen-sink dramas of the sixties. I love a good angry-kid coming-of-age film. Kes has it all, minus the sentimentality and anthropomorphism of so many animal films. My heart aches for the kid and his bird—I just want their companionship, his only form of stability, to last forever. Fantastic, bittersweet score by John Cameron. My favorite Ken Loach film. "
