Growing up is an important part of everyone's lives. We all had different upbringings that influenced who we are today, and the coming of age film genre reflects that completely.

Coming-of-age films are told from the perspective of young adults, who get to tell stories about their personal growth into adulthood. These films appear to appeal to audiences of all ages. Teenagers enjoy the mirroring and subtle realism of their daily lives portrayed on screen, while adults enjoy the reminiscences elicited by these films.

No two coming-of-age films are alike, as they feature a great range of individuals each telling their unique story. Some are heartbreaking and tragic pieces of cinema that capture raw emotion and tension, while others are foolish high school comedies that are completely exaggerated while totally relatable. There is undeniably a coming of age film that speaks to each and every one of us, making this genre particularly diversified and engaging!

But how well are you at remembering the coming of age movie genre? Can you tell the difference between Mean Girls and Clueless? Or Grease from Sixteen Candles? Take this quiz to find out!
