Movies are a great escape when it seems like nothing is going your way, but they are even better when the credits start rolling, and you rethink your entire life up until that very moment. Some movies just make you think, and these ten movies do exactly that.
1. Bring It On
An iconic movie full of cheering and competition. The first time I saw this, I was inspired to be a cheerleader. Bring it on taught us all the journey of competition and working hard for what we want. Thank you "Bring it On" for teaching me to work hard, play nice and to always bring it on, obviously.
2. 10 Things I Hate About You
This is probably the cutest movie in history, and sometimes I only watch it to stare at Heath Ledger the entire time. But this movie taught me about the obstacle of life and also gave me unrealistic expectations of someone serenading me on a football field.
3. Legally Blonde
Elle Woods is the definition of goals if I ever saw one, and she truly exemplifies a woman working hard for what she believes in. She taught us all to never let a man stand in our way and that working hard and believing in yourself will get you to where you truly want to be.
4.Sweet Home Alabama- We learned that sometimes, childhood sweethearts work out and that we should never give up on love. I also learned that I want to be Reese Witherspoon and that country boy is always a good idea.
5. Maid In Manhattan
We learned that we can end up with the most unsuspecting people and also that Tyler Posey was the cutest child ever. We also learned that Jennifer Lopez can rock a maid outfit better than most people.
6. How to Lose a Guy in 10 days
We learned that Matthew McConaughey is the sexiest man alive. We also learned how unrealistic an impromptu song number is and that it will probably never happen. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to sing "You’re So Vain” in a duet with someone we dislike.
7. 50 First Dates
We learned that anything with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler will most likely be a great movie. We also learned that love knows no boundaries, and even memory loss can’t stop it. It also made us all want to play the ukulele.
8. 13 Going on 30
This is the best movie to watch if you’re ever feeling down. This movie taught us to never let mean girls get in our way and to never let other people’s opinions influence our decisions. This movie proves that dreams can come true and how much I still want my own toy dream house.
9. He’s Just Not That Into You
This movie taught us a lot of lessons about dating, and also proved that those lessons aren’t always true. It showed us that love doesn’t follow rules, and if a guy likes you, he wont always “make it happen, no matter what”.
10. The Wedding Planner- Again with the Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey movies, this one reassured us that they are the true movie power couple. This movie taught us all to do what we love, but to always put ourselves first. At the end of the day, your happiness matters, even if that means handing over a multi-million dollar wedding deal to your best friend.
