12. Charm City Kings

The Midnight Sky George Clooney
HBO Max

Angel Manuel Soto's adaptation of the acclaimed 2013 documentary 12 O'Clock Boys has been widely lauded since its Sundance debut, following 14-year-old Mouse (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) as he attempts to join the Midnight Clique, a club of Baltimore dirt-bike riders.

Beyond universal praise for Jahi Di'Allo Winston's startling performance, the film won Sundance's Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast, while the story has been co-written by Moonlight's Barry Jenkins, and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are signed on as executive producers.

For a coming-of-age drama with a unique, ferocious bite and lived-in quality, look no further.

Charm City Kings is released on HBO Max on October 9th.
