5 Of The Best Movies To Watch When You Need A Mood Booster

Everyone needs a little pick-me-up now and then.

I know that I have my comfort TV shows, and I'm sure you do too, but sometimes putting Grey's Anatomy on a loop just isn't cutting it for me. So here are the top five movies for when you need just a little extra pep in your step.

1. "Someone Great"

Netflix

This movie right here is amazing. The soundtrack alone is killer; "Supercut" will forever be on my master playlist. And Lizzo? Enough said. The comic relief mixed with all the emotions of ending a long term relationship, while showcasing powerhouse women, puts this Netflix Original at the top of any movie list I make. Funny and relatable, it's the best to turn on anytime you need a little basic joy. It's streaming now on Netflix, and I definitely recommend you check it out if you haven't already.

2. "Mamma Mia!"

Amazon

This is a personal favorite of mine. With the music, the all star cast, and the amazing aesthetic, "Mamma Mia" and its sequel are my most-watched movies of all time. The vibes alone are iconic and smile-inducing. Though, fair warning, the ending of the second one always makes me cry - in a good way! You can stream it free with Starz or rent it from Amazon.

3) "Coyote Ugly"

Amazon

"Coyote Ugly" is probably the single most slept on "cult classic." Piper Perabo is such an underrated actress it literally kills me. Her and Tyra Banks, yes Tyra Banks, make me want to drop out of school and be a coyote every single time I watch them in action. This movie deserves all the hype, but it is a little harder to stream. You can rent it through Amazon for just $3.99, though.

4. "To All The Boys I've Loved Before"

Netflix

I'm pretty sure I would actually pass out if Noah Centineo put his hand in my back pocket, and I will forever be amazed at how Lana Condor not only doesn't pass out but is an absolute queen throughout the entire movie. The sweet secret romance and loving family is enough to put a smile on anyone's face. This masterpiece is a Netflix original and currently streaming on their platform.

5. "What a Girl Wants"

Netflix

A true American classic. This is a true feel good movie - you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be satisfied when the credits roll. Honestly, any Amanda Bynes movie is a good movie. But the setting, the plot, and the cast here all come together to create a masterpiece. Plus, the "Princess Diaries" vibes are just immaculate. This early 2000s icon is currently streaming on Netflix. Also, as I'm sure you noticed, this was not Colin Firth's only appearance on this list, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

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.
