edgy coming of age movies to cure your nostalgia

I frequently search the web for coming of age movies set in different eras to make me feel better on a bad day. I decided that I would give you the list of movies I have in my journal that never fail to make me feel better. I'm not quite sure if all of these are considered coming of age films, but I'm almost positive they're all edgy and definitely cure some form of nostalgia. These are the movies that help me whenever I'm feeling down. Hopefully, they can do the same for you! Enjoy :-)

Slam Poetry Recommendations

They are usually performed at poetry slams which are events dedicated to people performing their poetry.
