Childhood dramas, first crushes, friendship conflicts, joining sports teams, have spawned some of cinema's most beloved films. Comic Book Resources ranks eight movies that capture the particular ache of growing up, when small social stakes felt monumental and every transition promised transformation.

Whether through comedy or earnest drama, they transform the everyday struggles of adolescence into something worth revisiting as adults.
