Classic submitted by markwells on June 24, 2016, 9:42am Classic coming-of-age movie. Great sound track too. This movie was influential to many that came after. Grade: A.

I agree with markwells. submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 1:50pm Classic coming-of-age: check. Soundtrack: check. Also it has a few good laughs. I'm not sure women fare too well in it, but in that sense it is also of its time.

One of my favorites submitted by dave_472 on July 18, 2020, 11:35am This was one of my favorites that we even watched in film class!
