Okay, so the other day I was trying to find some movies similar to “Private Lessons.” You know, that coming-of-age, slightly scandalous vibe? I figured there had to be a bunch out there, so I started digging.

My Search Begins…
First, I just hit up Google. I typed in stuff like “movies like Private Lessons” and “coming of age movies 80s” – you know, the basic stuff. I scrolled through a few pages of results, mostly list articles and forum discussions. I made a quick list of some of the titles that popped up most often:
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- The Last American Virgin
- Porky’s
- Risky Business
Diving Deeper…
Those were a good start, but I wanted more. I started checking out some movie review sites. I’d read the summaries, see what people were saying in the comments, and try to get a feel for whether a movie really fit the “Private Lessons” mold. I added a few more to my list based on this:
- My Tutor
- Hardbodies
Getting Specific…
I wanted to add some movies that have a similar plot and that were made in other countries, so I went down another route. I typed in “movies teacher student relationship”, It gave me some results, so I added them to the list:
- Le souffle au coeur (Murmur of the Heart)
- Maladolescenza
The Final Result
I watched a few of them in the last week.
So, yeah, that’s how I went about finding movies like “Private Lessons.” It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but I found some good stuff! My search was pretty successful I added 2 more to my watch list.
