movies where the main character returns to his hometown.....


Hi, I'm looking for some good nostalgic movies in which a guy returns to his hometown after a long time and meets his old friends, falls in love with a gal and all that, storyline like this.

I loved this one and my other recommendations, if you love these kinda movies:

Beautiful Girls
Elizabeth town
Garden State


please recommend more.. thanks :)

Dan in real life, definitely suits your description ;)

Also Greenberg, maybe!

Just remembered - Vicious kind. It's a bit gloomier than those mentioned, but to me it's a great film! Cheers!

Thank you, definitely not gonna miss this one with Adam Scott. The poster itself looks so good. :)

Hi, watched "The Vicious Kind" yesterday and loved it. Especially the scene in the very beginning set in the diner with his younger brother really sets the mood for the rest of the movie. And the one in the grocery mall where he threatens Emma was so so intense and unexpected.

My only nitpick was that his character looked nothing like a person who hasn't slept over a week. But loved the movie and thanks a zillion for the recommendation. :)
