I've been well into these sorts of movies lately but it's rarely used as a genre in film so they are harder to come accross. You know the types I mean though?

My favourites that I would class as coming of age movies are.

Y tu mama tambien - probably everyone has seen this now and knows it's really good.

Ma Vie En Rose - Film about a 10 year old frenchboy that decides he wants to be a girl. It's wicked, because he's 10, it's more about being yourself than any sort of film going on about transgender issues.

Dead Poets Society - Amazing film, I'm sure everyone's seen it here.

The Graduate - this movie was so far ahead of it's time, it's so funny it still sems really modern.

Rushmore - Probably all Wes Anderson movies actually, he's a genius, but this one is the most traditionally coming of agey seeing as it has a young adolescent in the main role.

I love all those movies except Dead Poets' Society (yeah, I'll be crucified for this; I just found it boring) and The Graduate, which I haven't seen.

Stand By Me is a really good coming of age story. It's really the only one I can think of, apart from the ones you've already mentioned.

I guess you could consider Eternal Sunshine. It has a lot of great child-view moments.
