The Fundamentals of Caring
Road trip movies are always uplifting because they prove to us that there’s more to life than what there is within our comfort zones. “The Fundamentals of Caring” is all about finding hope and love despite current circumstances. Watch it on Netflix here.
Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things
“Minimalism” has become a buzzword among designers/design-enthusiasts and among those who just really like organizing. But the concept is more than just white space and smaller wardrobes. This documentary will make you realize just how better your life could be with less. Watch it on Netflix here.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices
How can a Makoto Shinkai anime film not be inspiring? “Children Who Chase Lost Voices” is a story of adventure, romance, and hope about a young girl on an action-packed journey towards healing and acceptance. Watch it on Netflix here.
Charlie St. Cloud
Get your tissue box ready. “Charlie St. Cloud” will have you tearing up from watching the title character cope with a life-altering loss and his struggle to keep it from affecting his future. Watch it on Netflix here.
Life is Beautiful
Holocaust films are hardly ever uplifting, and that is what makes “Life is Beautiful” such a cut above the rest. It’s a comedy-drama about a Jewish Italian bookstore owner who uses his wit, humor and imagination to spare his son from the horrors of captivity at a Nazi concentration camp. Watch it on Netflix here.
Good Will Hunting
Sometimes, all a person needs is someone to listen and bring the best out of them. “Good Will Hunting” follows the story of the title character, a genius yet part of a deferred prosecution for assaulting a police officer, who undergoes therapy under a renowned professor and eventually reevaluates his life. Watch it on Netflix here.
The Prince of Egypt
Of course, this list couldn’t do without a religious film. Go ahead and rewatch this well-loved animated musical on the life of Moses to remind you of Holy Week’s significance on the lives of Christians everywhere. Watch it on Netflix here.
