Although many movies a student should watch in his or her lifetime, a few should not be overlooked because they teach some precious lessons. We’ve compiled a list of the Top 5 Movies for Students below:

1. The Pursuit for Happiness – This film gives you the courage to face whatever life throws at you. It tells the story of a depressed parent who watches helplessly as his life unravels around him. He, on the other hand, is not defeated. Instead, he fights until he wins. The film is based on the actual events of American businessman Chris Gardner. While struggling to make ends meet, he was forced to sleep on the streets with his child. Despite numerous obstacles, he eventually established a solid foundation for his career. The film ends with a strong message to pursue the things that bring us joy. The pursuit of one’s goals is just as important as the accomplishment of one’s ambitions.
2. The Social Network – A biopic about the man who created Facebook. This inspirational Hollywood film depicting Mark Zuckerberg’s journey from Harvard student to multi-millionaire is unquestionably something every student should watch. Power, friendship, and devotion all play essential roles in the film. Throughout the film, viewers are persuaded that your life can change instantly, and it’s rarely about who has the best idea but rather who can bring that project to fruition in real (and, in this case, online) life.
3. Forrest Gump – Tom Hanks plays the film’s protagonist. The film depicts a young man with physical and mental disabilities who maintains a positive attitude. Forrest Gump sets out to achieve his goals, believing in his abilities. This is one of the best self-improvement films because it demonstrates that the only way to achieve your goals is to go for them. In the film, there is a famous line: “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates.” “You never know what you’re going to get.” This film provides a sense of realism and allows you to warm up to Forrest’s flaws.
4. The Theory of Everything – This film is based on the story of Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s greatest minds. Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of Stephen Hawking in the movie will take viewers on an emotional and exhilarating ride. Despite Hawking’s poor health, The Theory of Everything is a lovely tribute to his achievements. The film inspires you to be optimistic while persevering in the face of adversity. Throughout the film, we learn about Stephen’s accomplishments, challenges, and those who helped him overcome them. Stephen’s imagination sustained him from the moment he was paralyzed until he received royal recognition. People who are genuinely prepared and willing to work can achieve their goals, no matter how difficult they appear at the time.
5. The Imitation Game – This film may help you get back on track if you feel creatively blocked. This historical film depicts the professional and personal life of cryptanalyst Alan Turing. When World War II broke out, Turing created a device to decipher German codes. He is credited with the development of artificial intelligence and theory-based computer science. Most of the plot revolves around Turing’s efforts to create the computer that allowed the British to decipher Nazi-spied communications and ultimately helped Britain win the Second World War.
