    What movies were you watching as you were "coming of age" Is there a genre that you identify with your peer group?

    For me..

    it's these

    St. Elmo's Fire, Ferris Bueller, Say Anything, Pretty in Pink

    What about you.

    Pretty much the same as you Josi, but I would also include Top Gun.

    I was heartbroken when I found that Tom Cruise was a midget in real life.

    No Breakfast Club?  Tsk.  ;)

    I hit puberty at nine.  My coming of age movies are from my sister's gerenation (ie, those listed), not mine.  I don't even know what movies someone of my peer group  would think to list...  *laughs*

    Um, I've alwasy been quite disconnected from my peer group, so not sure how much help I'll be with that part of the question.

    But for me, yes, definitely Top Gun!
