Don’t waste a night on the sofa flicking through endless options of movies, series and docos, only to give up undecided and another wasted.
Make a night of it…Grab a few friends, plan your dinner and movie treats, and when you’ve exhausted all conversation you can relax on the sofa and settle in for a film that will leave you feeling inspired and motivated. Or if you’re one of those people that likes to be fully engaged and involved in the film, then fly solo, and indulge in all the things you love best.
We’ve done some research for you, and to narrow it down we’ve kept it to films available on Netflix.
🎬 Good Will Hunting.
A well known classic, and if you haven’t already seen it, then it is a must for any student.
There’s a reason it has claimed 3 Oscars. With superb stars like Matt Damon, Robin Williams and Ben Affleck it is not hard to see why.
It’s an inspiring story about an unrecognised genius, from the wrong side of the tracks, who literally stumbles across the correct path. A tale of how opportunities change lives.
🎬 Happy
If Documentaries are your thing then this one will leave you grinning.
This documentary attempts to answer the inner potential to create our own happiness, and focussing on the latest research studying positive psychology.
It explores the world and people who have created their own meaning of happiness.
With multiple awards under its’ belt this is worth watching.
🎬 The Social Network
A real eye-opener into the world of Mark Zuckerberg and beginnings of the Facebook Empire. An inspiring look into how one, or 2 peoples, ideas can turn into something that potential changes the world. It also touches on the rift between Zuckerberg and the brothers that begin the social networking concept.
You be the judge on who acting with integrity. Plenty of underlying messages in this enthralling film.
🎬 Moonlight
For many this will be the hands down winner, as far as inspirational films go.
Witness the salvation of the human soul, as the director takes you through unapologetically gritty and raw scenes, and all the hardship are laid bare.
Sometimes hard to watch for its’ honesty, but one that will stay with you for years to come.
🎬 Forrest Gump
Hard to believe this one is nearly 30 years old, as it is still so relevant today.
So if you need to lighten the mood and appeal to everyone, then here’s your answer. Get the popcorn and the choc tops ready, it’s long but engaging and super heartwarming. You’ll enjoy every bit of the journey as it takes you on a wild ride, and it will leave you feeling motivated to get out there and tick a lot more boxes.
