Best Coming-of-Age/Young Love Films?
I'm in the middle of writing a book, and I need some more inspiration.
Here's what I have so far:
Rushmore
And that's all I can think of.
P.S. It's 3 in the morning, and I still can't finish my Physics lab report. 
Of course, I'd get done sooner if I actually concentrated on it.

A few other titles:
A Little Romance
Pretty In Pink
Some Kind of Wonderful - essentially a gender switch on Pretty In Pink
Definitely check out Say Anything, for myself one of the best films in this category.

When you say "coming of age", do you mean movies about growing up? Well, that's what I'm taking it to mean, anyway...
In addition to some great ones already mentioned:
The Chocolate War
My Life as a Dog
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Wish You Were Here
the final act of Red Beard
Bend It Like Beckham
Catch Me If You Can
the beginning of Female Trouble ("I wanted cha-cha heels! Black ones!")
The Scent of Green Papaya
Donnie Darko
Fame
Heathers
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
Mask
Ordinary People
River's Edge
Suburbia (Spheeris, not Linklater)
To Kill a Mockingbird
