an enthusiastic film lover from not so icy finland anymore. i like world cinema so when the story is good and resonates with your brain and heart simultaneously its totally irrelevant from what part of the world the film comes from.
about my list(s): my sincere aim is always to check as many movies on the list ("to be a boy...") as possible to form some sort of personal opinion and to write a brief commentary on each film but that is of course humanly impossible! life is simply too short and as a film freak and movie maniac i am interested in all kind of movies and documents - not only in those on that "attaboy" list...

TO BE A BOY IN THIS WORLD
1,065 titles |
Public
a collection of films (1921-2016) about a boy´s life in this world - a list which i have made from scratch (and not copying it from other imdb user lists). all these movies represent BOYHOOD in different cultural historical societal religious etc. context and from various viewpoints and ages (the protagonists age being approximately from 1 to 18).
most of these films offer an alternative to uninspiringly sweet and stuffy family movies or commercial spectacles (harry potters etc). i think that a constantly and consistently happy boy is a phony anomaly and he is also very boring and disgusting to watch.
if you are a responsible (and perhaps unconventional) adult in a boy´s life you can watch these films together but see and read up my comments and reviews if necessary! many items i have listed here are more or less inapproriate for the youngest viewers or are only relevant for adult audience.
UPDATING OF THE LIST FINISHED AFTER 2016 because of the copycats. I may still add comments and reviews for those films already on the list.
