27 Movies to Watch While You're Still Young
David Whiteman

I love movies. I love going to see them, watching them alone on Netflix, talking about them with friends. I love obsessing over new actors, or reading movie trivia on IMDb. I love the feeling you get after seeing a really great movie when you feel like you're trying to return from another world. I just love movies.

So the following list is a weird assortment of some of my all-time favorite movies. Some of them are cheesy and Disney-fied, while others are emotional and heart-wrenching. Others are intellectually challenging or incredibly action-packed. They are movies that could teach you something about the world around you, or they might just teach you something about yourself. Some are brand new, even still in theaters, and others have been around for decades. It's a strange list, but here are 27 movies that I think everyone should watch while they're still young.

1. Dead Poets' Society


2. La La Land


3. Moana


4. Good Will Hunting


5. Zootopia


6. Meet the Robinsons


7. Forrest Gump


8. The Pursuit of Happyness


9. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty


10. Saving Private Ryan


11. Philadelphia


12. The Silence of the Lambs


13. Good Morning Vietnam


14. End of Watch


15. Gandhi


16. The Imitation Game


17. Pride and Prejudice


18. The Sixth Sense


19. Moulin Rouge!


20. Atonement


21. Brokeback Mountain


22. Schindler's List


23. Inception


24. Life of Pi


25. Whiplash


26. The Theory of Everything


27. Silver Linings Playbook

And there are so many more great movies, I can't even begin to list them. But here's a start to your life list of movies.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
