14 Older Movies That You Need to See In Your Lifetime

1. The Goonies

This movie is still one of the best movies ever made. If you haven't seen it, you should and if you have, you need to watch it again. It's full of adventure, pirates, and teenage hormones. What's not to like? Oh, and seeing a young Josh Brolin doesn't hurt either. This movie is still a classic and hopefully always will be.

2. Selena

Get ready for a movie that'll pull on your heart strings. This is based on a true story about a Mexican-American singer named Selena and her family. She had a beautiful voice and became very popular to so many people. Jennifer Lopez plays her in the movie. Sadly, the ending is exactly what you wouldn't want to happen, especially to such a great woman. Definitely a must see.

3. A League of Their Own

An old fashioned girl power movie. This takes place during WWII and now baseball has lost all its players because of the call of war. Now, women get the chance to play the game. There's a lot of familiar faces in the movie as well!

4. Sandlot


Bet you've heard of this quote, "You play ball like a girl!" This movie is the king of classics. You can never get sick of this story.

5. The Breakfast Club

Honestly, if you haven't seen this yet you haven't fully lived. It's about a group of kids in detention who learn more about themselves and each other. You know what, just watch it. Now.

6. The Bodyguard

You'll be yelling at the television with this movie. Staring the late Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, he is hired has her bodyguard (hence the name) after certain events threaten her safety. You'll love this movie and hearing Whitney Houston sing is always amazing.

7. The Sound of Music

I could go on hours and hours about this movie. Yes, it's a really long movie, but the story needs all that time. Julie Andrews stars as a upcoming nun before WWII in Austria and then ends up watching over this widowers seven children. Don't worry, there's a bunch of singing. Hence, the making of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Make time to watch this timeless classic.

8. Mrs. Doubtfire

Staring the late actor Robin Williams, this story is about a separated couple trying to move on with their lives, Robin Williams character, Daniel, is trying to have more time with his kids. So he and his brother make up this plan for him to dress up as a old british woman (Mrs. Doubtfire) and become their housekeeper. This movie is so hilarious and fun family story.

9. Indiana Jones

He's not just your average professor. Harrison Ford stars in this adventure story. Yes, you need to watch all four. (One is of him way older) Seeing a movie with Harrison Ford in his prime should be incentive enough to watch this classic.

10. Forrest Gump

If you haven't even heard of a Forrest Gump reference then you're living under a rock. Tom Hanks plays a slow man growing up in Greenville, Alabama. It revolves around many events in his life including the war in Vietnam, working on a shrimp boat, and being in love with Jenny, his childhood best friend.

11. Uncle Buck

Get ready to laugh. I'm sure everyone can relate to an embarrassing family member. Uncle Buck has to go watch his nieces and nephew while their parent have to go away due to a family emergency. Buck isn't too responsible himself with his personal life so adding kids to the mix isn't a great idea.

12. Silence of the Lambs

If you like suspenseful movies, then this is the movie for you. Clarice is a FBI agent who gets picked by a serial killer to study. Along with a new disturbing mystery that makes way into the story, this movie will definitely creep you out. I don't want to give too much away, so please watch this movie.

13. Titanic

You've heard of it and I'm just reminding you that you have to watch this movie. The most popular love story to date and for good reason. It's that good.

14. Star Wars

You had to know this was coming. One of the most popular movie series is a must see. Watch them in the actual order before the new movie comes out. It'll blow your mind.

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.

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.
