Can you recommend the best coming of age love stories in movies?

Definitely 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini. Amir's journey of guilt, redemption and growing up is very moving. 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath, although a bit darker, is a great coming of age novel about a young woman's struggle with mental illness and finding her place in society. Also, 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green, which is about Miles' search for the 'Great Perhaps' and his personal growth at a boarding school.

One of the best is 'The Fault in Our Stars'. It tells the story of Hazel and Augustus, two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. Their relationship is full of humor, deep conversations, and a bittersweet understanding of life's limitations. Another great one is 'Call Me by Your Name'. Set in Italy, it beautifully portrays the budding romance between Elio and Oliver during a summer of self - discovery.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is another wonderful one. It follows Aristotle and Dante as they form a deep connection. Their relationship grows as they face various challenges together, and it really shows how two young gay men come to understand themselves and their feelings for each other. It's a story full of heart and self - discovery.

Another is 'Love, Simon'. It's a more contemporary and light - hearted story. Simon is a high school student who is trying to come to terms with his sexual identity while also falling in love with a mysterious boy he's been emailing. It's a story that shows the challenges and joys of young gay love in a modern high school setting.

Sure. 'The Hate U Give' is a great modern coming of age story. Starr Carter, a young black girl, witnesses the shooting of her unarmed friend by a police officer. Her journey to find her voice and fight for justice in the face of racial inequality is both powerful and inspiring. Another one is 'Eleanor & Park'. It's a story about two misfit teenagers, Eleanor and Park, who fall in love and learn about acceptance and self - worth through their relationship.

I would also recommend 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell. Cath is a college freshman who is a fangirl of a popular book series. As she tries to navigate college life, make friends, and deal with her family issues, she also has to find a balance between her fangirl self and her real - life self. It's a great story about growing up and finding one's place.

Another one is 'Love, Simon'. It's a story about Simon, a high - school student who is secretly gay. It shows his journey of self - discovery and finding love while dealing with the challenges of high - school life and coming out to his friends and family. It's an inspiring and heartwarming story that has been well - received.

One great British coming - of - age story is 'The Catcher in the Rye' - like 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. It shows the growth of Briony Tallis from a young girl making a fateful mistake to an adult dealing with the consequences. Another is 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's set in a dystopian Britain and follows the lives of clones as they come to understand their purpose and mortality, which is a very unique coming - of - age experience. And then there's 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt, which, though set in an American college, has a very British - like atmosphere in its exploration of a group of students' moral and intellectual development.

Another good one is 'Smile' by Raina Telgemeier. It's based on the author's own experiences with braces and growing up. It's a relatable story for many young people, dealing with things like friendship, crushes, and self - esteem in a light - hearted yet meaningful way.

I would also mention 'The Golden Compass'. It tells the story of Lyra, a young girl in a parallel world. She uncovers a conspiracy and in the process, grows from a naive child to a determined fighter. The story is full of political intrigue, magic, and the exploration of complex themes such as the nature of the soul.
