Everyone needs a good motivational movie to get them through the hardest time of the semester. It’s the few days before winter break, and you’re just hours or minutes away from being able to spend time with your family and friends for the holidays, so here! Have my top five insparational movies to get through finals week when you need a brain break.
1. The Freedom Writers
This movie is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. If you haven’t seen this, watch it. Remember that no matter where you come from, you can suceed.
2. Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low I.Q. but good intentions. He is running through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny.
This movie is a no brainer. I didn’t have the joy of watching this movie until I was 18 years old, but I immedietly fell in love. This movie proves that with love and percervieance, you can do anything you put your mind to.
3. The Pursuit of Happyness
the amazing real-life tale of Chris Gardner who, with the power of hard work and perseverance, takes himself from sleeping on the subway all the way to the millionaire founder of his own brokerage house.
Who doesn’t love a great will smith movie?
4. School of Rock
Dewey finn gets kicked out of his rock band and decides to take a job as a substitute teacher for a 4th grade class. While trying to connect with the students, they form a rock band.
Jack black will motivate me to study any day. Also, some music doesnt hurt! I love being able to see the change in the attitudes of the kids.
5. Good Will Hunting
A touching tale of a wayward young man who struggles to find his identity, living in a world where he can solve any problem, except the one brewing deep within himself
Good will hunting is a feel good motivational movie. But at the end of the day, no one can beat a good robin williams movie.
