I think Sleepers (Levinson, 1996) also works!

Can anyone think of any movies which begin with a child protagonist and then 
move on to dramatise the same character's experiences as an adult? I'm not 
thinking here of film series (e.g. 400 Blows & sequels), nor films with brief 
childhood flashbacks (e.g. Silence of the Lambs, Day for Night, countless 
others), but individual films significantly structured  in this way (presumably 
employing different actors). I'm sure there must be several but at present all I 
can think of is Once Upon a Time in America (strictly speaking this of course 
starts in adulthood, then reverts to childhood, then advances to old age...but 
you get the idea). Any suggestions very gratefully received.
