There’s more to movies than just temporary entertainment. Sometimes, the right movie speaks to us at the right times. And if we let them, they might even change the course of our lives.

#3. For when you think your dreams aren’t good enough.

#4. For when you’re trapped within the walls of your comfort zone.

We are who we choose to be. – Spider-Man
#12. For when you’re questioning whether to go big or go home.
If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you’ll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. – Factotum

#19. For when you forget that you actually do have what it takes.
Great men are not born great, they grow great. –The Godfather
#20. For when you need to remember to take life a day at a time.
Me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it’s not some place you can look for because it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something and if you find that moment, it lasts forever. – The Beach
#21. For when you need to love yourself first.
Only if you find peace within yourself will you find true connection with others. – Before Sunrise
#22. For a better future.
It’s what you do right now that makes a difference. – Black Hawk Down
#23. For the times you fall, and the times you don’t, because they’re equally important.
Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss. – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
