20 Autobiographical Films Better Than Spielberg's the Fabelmans

Spielberg is the latest in a long list of directors who made a coming of age story about themselves. This trend has gained a lot of traction in recent years as directors like Almodovar, Iñárritu, Joanna Hogg, Kenneth Branagh and many others have made autobiographical films in the last 5 years. However, these types of films have existed for a long time and I have tried to compile what I think is the top 20 from this niche subgenre.
Note: I have included films where the writer didn't direct the film, but was heavily involved in the making of process, Adaptation and Persepolis.
