10 Movies to See After Graduation
Now that you’ve graduated (congratulations!) and have some free time on your hands, we thought of some classic movies that would be seriously beneficial to watch on a snowy night.
Into the Wild
Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt.
Into the Wild offers some serious philosophical truth. This incredibly powerful movie will give you insight on Christopher Mccandleuss' (Emile Hirsch) findings about happiness and experience.
Dazed and Confused
You know, but that’s valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn’t we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I’d like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
Don’t judge a movie by its poster when it comes to Dazed and Confused. Yes, this movie looks like an episode of That 70’s Show but it goes a lot deeper. You'll feel nostalgic about graduating combined with pure excitement and gratitude for upcoming summer nights in town.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you haven’t seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, time to climb out from the rock you’ve been under and start doing the twist (omg what Mom joke, we know). But really, this movie is a classic for a reason and you've gotta see it.
Dope
Nobody's going to suspect a thing. We're just doing what geeks do.
Okay, so you feel like a geek and you don’t really fit in, but you’ve got big dreams! Dope will encourage you to embrace your individuality, run with it, and do you.
Frances Ha
Sometimes it's good to do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it.
Everyone goes through times in life when nothing seems like it’s going in the right direction. Frances Ha shows how embracing failure and disappointment is usually the best way to get through confusing, rejection-filled times.
Dead Poets Society
That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Dead Poets Society will make you appreciate the power of poetry, art, and Robin Williams. You may need some tissues to get through this one, but you’ll end up feeling motivated and inspired to follow your heart and do what you love.
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
I love the sky. It’s so limitless.
Do you ever feel like you are stuck in this small town with no escape and no one around you understands? What’s Eating Gilbert Grape is an outlandish and heart-wrenching movie that will make appreciate the community you're in, despite its flaws.
Adventure Land
Are we doing this?
It's possible (and most likely) your post high school plans will not happen as expected. Adventure Land is a good reminder that you may find the most life-changing people in the most curious places. A lot of the time it becomes who you are with, not exactly what you are doing.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them.
Perks of Being a Wallflower is a truthful coming of age movie. We all have our own stories that make us who we are, and sometimes we need to overcome our own evils to move forward and find freedom, to feel infinite. This moving highlights the of dazzling highs of high school and the dark lows. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a movie to never forget.
Lady Bird
I hate California, I want to go to the east coast. I want to go where culture is like, New York, or Connecticut or New Hampshire.
Lady Bird is a coming-of-age story for a strong-willed young woman in Sacramento, set between the fall of 2002 and the fall of 2003. Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home. It particularly hits home with Lady Bird's love/hate relationship with her hometown, and the escape she makes, even if unsure of it, and the love she feels for it once she's gone.
