Ten great films about childhood and coming of age. I've seen "Spirit of the Beehive" and will always cherish its haunting and moving images. I would add to the list Stand By Me, The Florida Project, ET, To Kill A Mockingbird, Closer, The Secret Garden, Hugo, Night of the Hunter, The 400 Blows, The Red Balloon, Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, A Christmas Story, The Bridge To Terabithia. and My Neighbor Totoro. Any others you can think of?
