movies

So I watched one of my favorite moves the other night, Harold and Maude.  Filmed around 1972 in the San Francisco bay area, it stars Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort.  It is one of those movies about growing up.  It is about coming of age.  It is about deciding to live.  I got to thinking about so many other "coming of age" movies, and I came up with a list:

Harold and Maude
Stand by Me
The sisterhood of the travelling pants
Sandlot

I am sure that there are more that you can think of, please help me add to the list.

These movies somehow just stick right in our hearts. I am glad for them.  I think of them and they make me happy.  It is comforting to know that we survived growing up.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
