Stand by me is a fantastic coming of age film, that everyone can relate to. I previously studied it in my english class, and it explores the relaity of death, and the real experinces in the transition from innocence to experiecne. I would highly reccomened this film if you would like to watch a really good coming of age film. here is a preview:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUVnfaA-k...
