1. The History Boys (15) - This film adaptation of the play by Alan Bennett is just so beautiful. Not only does it have so many fantastically quotable lines but it also makes you really think, even if it seriously messes with your head! Just a warning, there is one character you want to hate so much but you can't help loving.
2. Pretty in Pink (15) - In my opinion this is John Hughes greatest coming of age films. Not only do Duckie's struggle perfectly portray the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back but the style in this is mind blowing. All the outfits, as Duckie would say, are "volcanic", hot and dangerous.
3. Some kind of Wonderful. (12) - Another John Hughes classic this film is just the perfect display of the pressures on young people today to make the choices everyone wants to do. Similarly to Duckie Watts love for her best friend causes her so much pain, showing perfectly how hurtful raw emotions can be. You will fall in love with every character!
4. School of Rock (PG) - As always Jack Black's performance is electric. If I'm having a bad day this film never fails to cheer me up, with its perfect blend of comedy and pure rock music. This film is so "hardcore!"
5. "Submarine" (15) - Another coming of age story this film portrays such an honest and down to earth picture of being a teenage, without over exaggerating. Not only are the plot and characters perfect but the cinematography is stunning.
What are some films you love but no one ever knows? Even if they are famous I'd love to hear about favourites in the comments!
