I was driving to work today and the local radio station was talking about a list Film.com released of the 50 Best Coming of Age Movies. I found myself laughing, reminiscing, and hollering at the radio as people called in and tried to guess the top 10 movies.

Here are the top 10:

#1.)  “Stand By Me”,  1986

Stand by Me

#2.)  “Dead Poets Society”,  1989

#3.)  “The Breakfast Club”,  1985

#4.)  “Almost Famous”,  2000

#5.)  “Big”,  1987

#6.)  “The Graduate”,  1967

#7.)  “400 Blows”,  1959

#8.)  “The Goonies”,  1985

#9.)  “Carrie”,  1975

#10.)  “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” . . . which hits some theaters today.

The complete list can be found here.

There are a few I have never seen; 400 Blows (really old), Carrie…but, the rest I loved and have seen more than once. Other great movies in the top 50: Can’t Hardly Wait, American Pie, The Sandlot, Superbad, Dazed and Confused, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Karate Kid, Sixteen Candles, Clueless, Dirty Dancing – LOVE..

Any movie you see missing from the list? Or thought should have been ranked higher?
