20 Coming-Of-Age Movies That Are Totally Flawless

6. Almost Famous (2000)

In terms of sheer entertainment value and rewatchability, there might not be a better film on this list than Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous.

Starring Patrick Fugit as an aspiring young music critic sent on the road with a dysfunctional rock band, the epic road drama is packed with defining performances (Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Philip Seymour Hoffman) and thoughts about love and chasing dreams.

Like Dazed and Confused, it also features an incredible soundtrack, and an easy, almost plotless narrative that moves everything along smoothly.

Once Almost Famous is done, you'll be singing Tiny Dancer and hitting that replay button without missing a beat, guaranteed.
