We all have days when we find ourselves in a rut. Work is suddenly harder to do, you’re out of ideas, and not even your fave food can cheer you up. All you want to do… is nothing, because suddenly, everything is pointless, and you’re not good enough.
Get yourself out of this funk. Do things that inspire you, treat yourself to ice cream, or catch a movie—here are some that shout “You’re better than this!”. So sit back, make sure you’ve got your snacks, and let the motivation come back.
#1 A Star Is Born
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga star in this romantic movie about a musician and a young singer who try to help each other with their struggles.
#2 Being Serena
This is more of a documentary than a movie, but we couldn’t help adding it in because it’s about tennis champion Serena Williams, who played and won at the Australian Open while she was 8-weeks pregnant.
#3 Hidden Figures
Based on true events, this Oscar-nominated movie revolves around three brilliant African-American women at NASA, who are the brains behind the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit. Enduring sexism and racism, these women go against the odds to achieve the impossible.
#4 Mortal Engines
Directed by the famed Peter Jackson of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Mortal Engines is set in a post-apocalyptic world where cities ride on wheels and consume each other. Two young people meet, and together they rebel to stop a conspiracy.
#5 Rocketman
Love music? Feeling like you’re too shy to open yourself up to the world? Then you’re going to love how Elton John transformed from a shy piano prodigy to the international superstar he’s known now.
#6 The Best Of Enemies
Do you have a strong sense of justice? Then The Best of Enemies is for you. It tells the true story of civil rights activist Ann Atwater, who faces off against C.P Ellis, a high-ranking member of the racist Ku Klux Clan, over the issue of school integration.
#7 The Greatest Showman
Want to watch an inspiring musical instead? We got you! The Greatest Showman celebrates the birth of show business and tells the story of a visionary (played by Hugh Jackman) who rose from being a nobody to creating a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
#8 Tolkien
Running out of creative juice? Then you need to watch this movie based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit creator, J.R.R Tolkien.
