I Vitelloni (1953): Federico Fellini's great breakthrough film about a group of provincial lads toying with adulthood, half-stuck in childhood, and only dimly aware of the dazzling world about to unfold around them. A coming-of-age film for the ages -- touching, brilliant, and the inspiration for "Mean Streets" and "Diner."
