<p>I have never published an all-time favorites list before. Here goes.<br />NOT RANKED. There are plenty of films that I have forgotten, need to rewatch, and still need to watch--the beauty of cinephilia. The list will be an ongoing project forever and ever.</p>
Teenage Wasteland: A Comprehensive List of Coming-of-Age films
<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But, what we found out is that each one of us is: a brain . . . <br />Andrew Clark: And an athlete . . . <br />Allison Reynolds: And a basket case . . . <br />Claire Standish: A princess . . . <br />John Bender: And a criminal. <br />Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? <br />Sincerely yours, <br />The Breakfast Club."</i> - <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/the-breakfast-club/" rel="nofollow">The Breakfast Club</a></p><p>There is something about a good coming-of-age story. I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>
