Coming of Age - adding favorite movies from this genre

To appreciate the good, you must witness the bad - Riya Parekh You might search on the internet 'must watch coming of age movies' and your feed will be flooded with suitable searches. I will not get into describing the narratives of each of the movies mentioned below. Unlike many websites, blogs, pages, etc, I will not give a detailed review of these movies. For, I believe, one must watch a movie, to really enjoy it.  In obvious ways this is my archive, that I can add to overtime and re-visit in future to freshen my memory. I have been a movie nerd for a long time now. This passion began with attending the film club at SEA every Friday. Unlike most of my friends, I have not grown up watching Bollywood movies and I take pride in saying that I have been successful in filtering the good ones out of the lot. By no means am I cynical towards the Hindi cinema, since I know they have produced some gems, that for many reasons have been behind the clouds. Anyway, that is a topic

On riots and chaos of mind
