1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Socially awkward teen Charlie is a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines, until two charismatic students become his mentors.

However, as his new friends prepare to leave for college, Charlie's inner sadness threatens to shatter his newfound confidence.

2. Lady Bird

3. Boyhood

The joys and pitfalls of growing up are seen through the eyes of a child named Mason, his parents, and his sister. Vignettes, filmed with the same cast over the course of 12 years, capture family meals, road trips, birthday parties, graduations and other important milestones. Songs from Coldplay, Arcade Fire and other artists capture the time period. Directed by Richard Linklater.

4. The Breakfast Club

Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock.

8. Juno

When precocious teen Juno MacGuff becomes pregnant, she chooses a failed rock star and his wife to adopt her unborn child. Complications occur when Mark, the prospective father, begins viewing Juno as more than just the mother of his future child, putting both his marriage and the adoption in jeopardy.

9. The Edge of Seventeen

Everyone knows that growing up is hard, and life is no easier for high school junior Nadine, who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian starts dating her best friend Krista. All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until an unexpected friendship with a thoughtful teen gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all.
