I like these coming of age movies, like this one and something like "Little Miss Sunshine." What would you guys recommend? Bonus points if the titles you recommend are on Netflix!

The Descendants (some of the same people worked on it), The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Spectacular Now, and Juno, to name a few.

I guess Chronicle and Whiplash kind of fit, too.

Bridge to Terabithia is good, too, although it's about a younger age range.

The Kings of Summer, Mud and Ping Pong Summer (which is basically the lesser version of The Way Way Back, but set in the 80's)

Most American films are similar to this.

Stand by me, now and then, the Kings of summer, the breakfast club, boyhood, dead poets society, say anything

Coming of age is my favorite genre! Enjoy
