TOP 11 most interesting films for the evening

Hello dear blog readers! In preparing the material for the blog, I am helped by a psychologist, a gestalt therapist and a beautiful girl — Alina Zhuravina. And today she shares her list of films. So here is what she writes. I propose to relax a bit by planning an interesting movie for the evening. And since the blog is dedicated to self-development topics, I have compiled a list of films that promote and leave a pleasant, and sometimes bitter aftertaste.

Top 11

1. Baby in a million 2004 – IMDb: 8.10

A film by Clint Eastwood that won 4 Oscars, and for good reason, because it looks in one breath. It tells about the girl Maggie, whose character many men can envy, because she overcame serious obstacles, just to achieve her dream — to box professionally. Working as a waitress, she saved money for training, and it took a lot of effort to get Frank, a former fighter, and now the owner of the club, agreed to work with her. He became closer to her than her own mother, and did much more, and Maggie in return brought him success. Touching relationships, a rapid rise in a career and tragic events — this drama will not leave you indifferent.

2. The King says 2010 – IMDb: 8.00

To begin with, I will clarify — the picture is based on real events. At the start of the Second World War, the people of Britain needed more than ever a confident and strong leader, able to make decisions and lead. And such a person was found, Duke Albert, only with one small nuance that casts doubt on his firmness and determination — he began to stutter at the slightest excitement. For many years he struggled with his illness, until he met an eccentric Australian who successfully coped with similar speech defects.

3. Exam 2009 – IMDb: 6.90

The picture until the last moment keeps the viewer guessing about who will still be interviewed in a very large and influential company. Eight applicants take the test in a closed room, under the supervision of a security guard, cameras and the threat of disqualification for a damaged sheet and appeal to security. They need to answer the question, only here it is not indicated on the sheet. What is a person willing to do to get what they want?

4. Disappeared 2014 – IMDb: 8.10

In the midst of a wedding anniversary celebration, Amy, Nick’s wife, goes missing. They spent five years together, and everyone considered their marriage perfect. But the disappearance jeopardized this opinion, as journalists and those who wanted to help in the search began to find information on a thread indicating that Amy’s life was not so happy. To those around him, Nick looks like a real monster, which is why he becomes the only suspect. But if it was that simple, the painting wouldn’t be worth the time.

5. In pursuit of happiness 2006 – IMDb: 8.00

Watching this film is worth at least because it helps to come to the realization that you need to pursue your happiness to the last. Like our hero, Chris Gardner, trying to survive with a five-year-old child without money and housing. He was selling scanning machines that took better pictures than X-rays, but at a price that doctors couldn’t afford. Therefore, there were no sales, respectively, and salaries. He ventured to get a job as a broker in a brokerage house for a trial period. And everything would be fine, but the problem is that it was necessary to work for free, until after the expiration of the twenty applicants one was chosen.

6. Areas of darkness 2011 – IMDb: 7.40

Eddie works in advertising, nothing special, and his personal life has not worked out, but he dreams of success and luxury. It is not possible to solve the problems on his own, so he decides to try out secret pills called NZT, which promise to increase brain activity and energy. And indeed, he has everything that he dreamed about before, only in addition there are also side effects that he did not know about. Now there is a new desire — to get rid of addiction and return your life back. But is it possible?

7. Illusionist 2005 – IMDb: 7.60

Eisenheim was fond of tricks from childhood and dreamed of becoming an illusionist, and he also loved one girl — Duchess Sophie von Teschin, from whom he was separated due to the fact that he was an ordinary nobleman. Time passed, Eisenheim became a real magician, conquering the public of Vienna, so much so that the fame of him began to disperse in other cities. Once, Crown Prince Leopold became interested in the performance, and from that moment events began to occur that were understandable only to the illusionist himself. After all, the companion of the crown prince that evening was Duchess Sophie, whom Eisenheim decided to return, no matter what.

8. Coach Carter 2005 – IMDb: 7.20

This story is based on a true story about high school basketball coach Ken Carter. His team was successful, but somehow, having learned about the low marks in other subjects, he decided to skip matches until they catch up in their studies. Of course, this caused a wave of indignation and aggression, both among the young basketball players and their parents. But Carter was adamant, he was the only one who believed in the future of the guys, that they would receive a decent education and a prestigious profession. Having arranged a riot, and having not achieved results, the guys had no choice but to take up textbooks.

9. Click: with remote control for life 2006 – IMDb: 6.40

It’s very scary when life flies by unnoticed, and that’s exactly what happened to the main character Michael. He was sorely lacking time because of work, and there was only one desire — to lie on the couch in front of the TV, but the children and wife wanted attention and periodically prevented him from relaxing. But one day everything changed, our main character came across a store that sold a remote control with unusual functions — it could rewind time forward, turn off the sound.

A wonderful invention, only now it broke down, making its own adjustments, such that Michael once woke up as a useless sick old man. He realized the mistakes and how valuable his family was to him, only it was too late to change something. Or not?

10. Save Mr. Banks 2013 – IMDb: 7.50

This story is about the famous cartoonist Walt Disney, and, by the way, based on real events. When his daughters were young, he promised them that they would make a movie based on their favorite Mary Poppins book. Only bad luck, the author Pamela Travers was categorically against the film adaptation of her creation. For more than 20 years she did not give consent, but, in the end, she gave up. Arriving in Los Angeles to work with Walt, it turned out that the difficulties were actually just beginning.

11. Book Thief 2013 – IMDb: 7.60

Liesel is ten years old, she lives in Munich, while the world begins to destroy the Second World War. Once in a foster family, and having learned to read there, she tries to escape from the harsh reality at every opportunity, discovering in herself a great love for books. So huge that it is impossible to watch how the Nazis burn them, considering them evil, so much so that in such difficult times it comes to the point that it steals not food, but collections. But she experiences the greatest shock when her family gives shelter to the injured Jewish boy, and the presence of which the Nazis begin to guess.
