8 Movies That Will Motivate You To Chase Your Dream Life

I know we are ALL bored in quarantine, so I have created a list of movies that motivate me personally in regards to achieving my goals in life. Hopefully these movies will do the same for you! And if not, they are still AMAZING feel-good movies and some of my favorites of all time!

1. The Devil Wears Prada

Meryl Streep portrays the *ICONIC* character of Miranda Priestly in this fashion-filled film. This film follows a college graduate who lands a job in a huge fashion magazine as she has to work as an assistant to Miranda Priestly, her boss. Let's just say its not an easy task, but I would take that job IN A HEART BEAT. As someone who has goals of working in the fashion industry, this movie is a total motivator for me and hopefully will do the same for you all!

2. Soul Surfer

Next up we have Soul Surfer. If you haven't heard of this movie, it is based off of the true story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who was attacked by a tiger shark, which ultimately resulted in her losing her arm. This movie is a tear-jerker, but none-the-less an amazing motivator as you follow Bethany's journey to being able to surf again. I was OBSESSED with this movie for the longest time and trust me I still am. Bethany Hamilton is such an influential and inspiring woman who has achieved amazing things despite having the odds against her.

3. Secretariat

If you love horses as much as I do, then you will love this movie. I'm sure most of you have heard of Secretariat. In 1973, he became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. In the Belmont Stakes, he won by 31 lengths, which is considered one of the greatest races in history. Secretariat goes down in history as one of the greatest racehorses there ever was and this movie follows his rise to victory. If you like this movie, you will also love the movie Seabiscuit, which is another true story that follows a winning racehorse.

4. Rocky

The Rocky movies are CLASSICS, as they should be. If you've never heard of Rocky Balboa, then you better grab some popcorn and rent these movies off of Youtube because you will not be disappointed. This movie follows the inspiring journey of a boxer who climbs his way to the top after being doubted and underestimated by so many. If you have been struggling to find the motivation to exercise recently, these movies will change that real quick. Not only that, but Rocky is such a sweetie that it will melt your heart, especially with Adrian.

5. Hidden Figures

This biographical film follows the journey of the three women working for NASA that were the brains behind the launch of John Glenn into orbit. If you're in the mood for some girl power, then this is the movie for you. Such a brilliant film!!

6. A League of Their Own

Thats right...THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!! This movie is another one for women empowerment, which I LOVE. This movie portrays the story of the real-life All-American Girls Pro Baseball League, who strive for success and equality even with all odds stacked against them. Not only is this film motivational, it is hilarious!

7. Silver Linings Playbook

THIS. MOVIE. I just watched this movie for the first time a few months ago and it instantly became my new favorite! One reason being that I love Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence and they are brilliant in this film. If you haven't seen this film, add it to your list!

8. Call Me By Your Name

Okay first of all, I had to post two GIFs for this movie because I am so extremely passionate about and obsessed with it. Call Me By Your Name. Timothée Chalamet. Armie Hammer. Northern Italy. Incredible. I have so much I could say about this move and DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE BOOK. Ugh. Fabulous. CMBYN is a film set in Northern Italy following young Elio as he and one of his fathers interns fall in love with one another. This movie is beautifully directed and it will leave you wishing you were spending the summer in Northern Italy. Each scene is a work of art and the actors perfectly portray the chemistry between one another.
