This Is The Greatest Coming-Of-Age Movie Of All Time – Prove Me Wrong

Hey y’all – it’s Liam Crowley, ScreenRant’s film reporter and host of Coffee Chats. I’ve been covering film professionally for five years but have been obsessed with this storytelling medium for triple that time. Who I am as a person is the sum of my favorite narratives and characters, and there is no genre I see myself in more than coming of age films. Coming of age films have been a staple of cinema for as long as the storytelling medium has been around. While the genre thrived in the 1980s and 1990s with titles like The Breakfast Club and Clueless, none compare to the entry that hit theaters in September 2012: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Think I’m wrong? Let’s settle it in the comments.
