50 Movies For Rainy Days

If you've been in Florida lately (or for your entire life, like me) then you know we've had a lot of rain. The rain makes it difficult to enjoy normal Florida activities like going to the beach, Disney World, or simply taking a walk down St. George Street.

Sure, you could binge on Netflix, but do you really have enough space in your heart for another show with nine seasons and twenty or so episodes each? If you're cringing at the very thought, don't worry. There are much shorter and equally satisfying things to watch. You guessed it: the movies.

When the rain hits the window pain, grab your popcorn and check out one (or all) of these flicks.

1. The Guardian

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

3. Pocahontas (Disney)

4. Finding Neverland

5. Fools Rush In

6. Finding Nemo

7. Pitch Perfect

8. Chappie

9. James Bond: Golden Eye

10. Psycho

11. Goodfellas

12. The Intern (2015)

13. Tombstone

14. Lawless

15. Dances With Wolves

16. Fury

24. The Drop (2014)

26. Gone With the Wind (This will take the whole day, but it's worth it.)

27. Monsters, Inc.

8. P.S. I Love You

29. The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

30. 21 and 22 Jump Street

47. The Private Eyes (1980)

48. The Sons of Katie Elder (John Wayne)

49. Fried Green Tomatoes

50. Mean Girls (I mean, how can you not?)


I've given you fifty, but there are thousands more to choose from. So the next time in rains in the Sunshine State, stay dry, stay in, and find a new favorite movie.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
