Gregory's Girl
1981
A teenage boy navigating the bewildering social landscape of a Scottish new town develops a hopeless crush on a girl and stumbles into an unlikely friendship, all while his football coach pines for his sister. Bill Forsyth's gentle, warmly observed coming-of-age comedy is one of the most charming British films of the 1980s.
