1. Lady Bird!

2. Erin Brockovich!

3. Little Women.

4. If you’re in the mood to be depressed, Welcome to the Dollhouse is a fantastic movie. It does take a lot out of you when you watch it though.

5. My Girl and My Girl 2

6. Muriel’s Wedding

7. Where the heart js

8. Howl’s Moving Castle or Kiki Delivery Service.

9. One of my favorites, Slums of Beverly Hills. Natasha Lyonne is a gem.

10. As Told By Ginger. Not a movie but still

11. Sierra Burgess is a Loser

12. Real women have curves and Quinceañera

13. Ginger Snaps hit me hard. It’s a horror movie. Cheesy, but heartbreaking. I didn’t watch it until I was in college, but I see a bit of my younger self in Bridget (and maybe Ginger too), so maybe that’s why I’m drawn to it.

14. Juno. I almost always click on it if it’s on tv lol

15. Eighth Grade for sure.

16. It’s about 4 women. Now & Then.

17. Mine is Slums of Beverly Hills or Now and Then

18. Slums of Beverly Hills

    Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead

    Clueless

    Bridesmaids

    Peggy Sue Got Married

19. has to be booksmart

20. Idk if it counts because she’s very young but “what Maisie knew” is beautiful and terribly underrated

21. No love for Edge of Seventeen? That’s my pick.

22. Kiki’s Delivery Service

23. Whale Rider

24. Clueless
    Lady bird
    Juno (still traumatized of getting pregnant)

25. The hairy bird and now and then

26. Legally blonde, I’ll always love that movie. Not sure it counts as coming of age though

27. I think Ghost World has mostly disappeared from everyone’s radar over time, so I’ll put it out there.

28. I just watched Lady Bird for the first time and highly recommend it!! It was perfect!

29. My Girl.

30. Perks of being a wallflower

31. Brave. Every time I cry and have to call my mum and tell her I love her
