Designer1 Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not sure Safety Not Guaranteed is a coming of age movie? More so than Interview with a Vampire No, it's not really a coming of age, but it has the same indie sensibilities as some the others that Omar likes so I included it anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although I'm not sure about anything whatsoever in relation to Safety Not Guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 Didn't like The Way Way Back that much. Found it way too formulaic and the excellent cast deserved a much better script.Boyhood is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 It may be a masterpiece of film making. But it failed to remotely entertain me. Honestly thought it was awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Garden State has to be in the bottom 5% of movies I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2015 I would suggest "Diner" as a pretty watchable coming of age film. Some good early performances from Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Daniel Stern and Steve "Police Academy" Guttenberg.Decent soundtrack too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
