At some point or another, most of us have gone to the movies with the intention of having a pleasant time but left feeling like we’d been transformed.
The choices we make in life may be inspired by and influenced by movies. The question is why they wouldn’t.
Everybody here has seen films by Woody Allen, James Cameron, and Quentin Tarantino. These are just three of the numerous authors and filmmakers who can move their audiences to tears.
A well-chosen film might serve as a springboard for achievement. I’ve compiled a list of 10 films that every ambitious person should see.
1. Fight Club: Materialism And Detachment
There are many valuable life lessons to be gleaned from watching Fight Club. Still, the movie teaches us an important lesson about materialism and emotional distancing.
Fight Club, as Tyler Durden sees it, is about breaking free from the confines and debasing the effects of contemporary society. Through a tolerance for suffering and a willingness to take risks, even the possibility of death.
For this reason, Fight Club is the kind of film that can be viewed again, with new insights emerging each time.
2. Pumping Iron: Self-Belief And Assertion
You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to enjoy Pumping Iron. No. If you want to see the impact of confidence and self-assurance in action, watch Pumping Iron.
In this groundbreaking documentary, Arnold Schwarzenegger opens up about his philosophy, outlook, and values. And it will undoubtedly leave you feeling motivated after seeing it.
3. The Secret: Positive Attitude
The Secret is a film on the principles of the Law of Attraction. (This book is also published in paperback). Although many people doubt the Law of Attraction’s claims, the film presents an optimistic outlook on life.
The film’s overarching goal is to encourage an improvement in one’s quality of life via the viewer’s own thought processes. That’s why The Secret is a must-see for everyone in need of a dose of positive reinforcement and uplifting encouragement.
4. The Social Network: Entitlement
The success of Facebook’s creator, Mark Zuckerberg, and the movie The Social Network should be common knowledge.
While showcasing some of the negative consequences of success, such as the emergence of backstabbing and legal squabbles, The Social Network will leave audiences feeling like they deserve success.
5. Yes Man: Opportunity
Everyone may enjoy the comedy film Yes Man. Carl Allen, the character played by Jim Carrey, has a mundane existence.
His life takes an intriguing turn once he attends a self-help programme titled “Yes.” Watching this film may cause you to regret some of the changes you passed up in the past.
6. Limitless: Getting Things Done
Eddie Morra, a writer who puts off his work, is played by Bradley Cooper. The introduction of a new substance into Eddie’s life causes a dramatic change in his life.
One can’t help but see this picture and want to join in on the narcotic action. Instead of a drug, this video will open your eyes and start you thinking about all the possibilities in life.
You will leave this movie feeling inspired to make positive changes in your life.
7. The Wolf Of Wall Street: Drive And Prosperity
The Wolf of Wall Street, based on the life of Jordan Belfort, is a film that shows both the advantages and disadvantages of having a lot of disposable income.
DiCaprio’s performance in the film makes the audience feel strong and capable. To see The Wolf of Wall Street is to reevaluate your existing lifestyle and set new, more aspirational goals.
8. The Words: Own Your Work
Bradley Cooper reprises his role as an aspiring author in this new film. Words show how hard attaining success can be, making you want to quit up or, in this instance, imitate someone else’s accomplishment.
Watching this film will motivate you to take responsibility for your career and make the most of your current situation.
9. In Pursuit Of Happyness: Never Giving Up
If you’re looking for a tearjerker, go no further than In Pursuit of Happiness. Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith, is a salesperson who runs into serious financial trouble and ends up on the streets.
This video shows how to keep going even when things seem hopeless, and how to keep your aspirations alive no matter what.
10. Good Will Hunting: Competence
The great dialogue between Will Hunting (Matt Damon) and Sean Maguire (James Caan) helps make Good Will Hunting such a moving picture (Robin Williams).
Those who are talented yet don’t think they deserve to be successful. You will feel encouraged and validated at the end of this film.
