Ahhh growing up, what a time! Feelings that you don’t fully understand! Responsibilities you never asked for! Hair in places you never expected! The end of one’s adolescence is a turbulent event, just like high school Health class said it would be. It’s such a significant turning point in a person’s life that we’ve invented a whole genre about it! If you want to be pretentious, you could call that genre the “bildungsroman” – don’t ask me why, I’m not Google. If you want anyone besides English Lit majors to know what you’re talking about, just call it a “coming of age” – and then point them towards these 10 best coming of age films of all time.
Stand By Me
(Columbia)Adapted from what is arguably Stephen King’s best story The Body, Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me is the heartwarming story of four kids trying to steal a glimpse at a dead person. Set in Maine (like every other King story) the plot follows a group of four boys hear a rumor that a local kid was struck and killed by a passing train, and that his body is still lying dead along the tracks. Fascinated by the prospect of finding a bonafide corpse, the adolescent quartet sets out on a quest along the tracks with no parental supervision whatsoever. At its core, Stand By Me teaches a lesson that every kid must someday learn: the world is not a safe place, not even for children. Considering that kids are the leading casualties in Stephen King novels, you’d think they’d know this by now – better late than never.
