The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Directed by Stephen Chbosky

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

THE Tumblr movie. Charlie is us. Sam is everyone we wanted to be. The tunnel scene with Heroes playing? Cinema. This movie taught a generation that it's okay to be a wallflower, that mental health matters, and that the right mixtape can save your life.

Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Ezra Miller created something that felt like a warm hug and a gut punch at the same time. You'll cry during the tunnel scene. Everyone does.

essential tracks:

David Bowie - "Heroes"
The Smiths - "Asleep"
