Here is our list of movies that we choose when we want to improve ourselves.
Coach Carter (2005)
The film is fairly based on the true story of basketball coach Ken Carter (played by Samuel L. Jackson), who made headlines in 1999 for suspending his undefeated high school basketball team due to poor academic results. A wonderful movie. Not so much a drama, but more a motivating film about a person’s personality growth and team growth.
Cast Away (2000)
It’s an eye opening story that breaks life down into its most basic elements. Man alone on the island struggling to survive. Throughout that struggle, he is able not only to survive but to change and grow as well. Tom Hanks is excellent in it.
This is such a good movie. If you haven’t watched it, I strongly encourage you to!!
Yes Man (2008)
We can all relate to the main character in this movie. Every time we are leaving behind the possibility of new experiences by saying no. It’s really underrated. Infinitely rewatchable. Both funny and uplifting.
Chocolat (2000)
Beautiful story and phenomenal casting and art direction. The soundtrack of this film is so cheerful. Great message in this film. It’s all about life-work balance!
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Hillarious animated movie about self improvement, believing in yourself, and trusting others. It is one of my favorite rewatching movies that I have always liked to visit. Hilarious, emotional, and overall great experience.
The Big Fix (1978)
An ex-’60s radical now working as a private eye is hired by an old flame to investigate a political smear campaign. The case becomes more dangerous as it unfolds. Sometimes the hilarious representation of a man struggling to hold on to his family and life.
Twenty Feet From Stardom (2013)
Deeply moving documentary. A must see for any blues/soul/rock lovers. Films like these give you the good the bad and the ugly side of the business. It can make you cry and it can make you happy and joyful at the same time.
Man on Wire (2008)
An inspiring and touching movie. Living life as exciting as you can want, and being on the edge is really what living is about. When we are close to immense danger then we are the most live. Beautiful movie about conquering your fears and moving past them.
The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)
It perfectly demonstrates the beauty of life, saying, no matter what circumstance you’re given, it will all turn out great! A very lighthearted film, with some very comedic parts along with it, definitely worth a watch. It’s just that wholesome and heartwarming, so don’t miss it.
Don’t worry, it won’t go far (2018)
Heart-melting kind of experience. An uplifting and motivating movie about the struggles of having physical difficulties. Finding new passion and living life fully embracing its beauty of it.
Educating Rita (1983)
A hilarious story of an alcoholic professor who has been hired by a working-class girl for higher education. Inspirational, uplifting, and motivational movie.
