Or maybe you are looking for a movie so far from your reality that you can get lost in a different world for an hour or two. It really helped me when I was going through really horrible anxiety many times. I love how it just transports you into this other world. It shows people will always love you and support you, that you will never be alone.
A lot of the good times consisted of watching those movies. It takes you away to a whole different world! When she was knocked down, her grandmother said if she wanted to give up she would still be proud of her. But beneath all the outer space spectacle, this a movie about feeling disconnected from everything after a traumatic event, and the mental process that can follow. What to say about World's Greatest Dad? Well, it's certainly not for the faint of heart. Go into this movie expecting a really dark, but really meaningful exploration of depression, mental illness, and how a cults of personality can form—and get out of hand.
One of Robin Williams' most underrated and heart-wrenching performances. Palm Springs is a very funny movie, but it hasn't been as loved by both critics and audiences alike just for big laughs; the movie's cast, led by Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg with a wonderful J. Simmons supporting turn balances those moments of humor with some of the real-world feeling that comes with the thought of being stuck like Bill Murray once did in Groundhog Day.
Palm Springs takes a familiar high-concept plot device, and makes it funny, relatable, and most importantly, real. But after his underwhelming comedy Sex Tape also starring Cameron Diaz , he pivoted; his first foray after that was A24's The End of the Tour, where he plays the celebrated late author David Foster Wallace, as he was being interviewed by a Rolling Stone journalist Jesse Eisenberg during the end of his tour for Infinite Jest.
The movie is basically a two-hander between these two excellent actors, and Segel does a wonderful job of threading Wallace's pain into his dialogue. Despite being at a professional apex with a best-selling book hailed as a work of genius, Segel lets you feel this character's struggle through his performance. The film is set in , and Foster Wallace died by suicide in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind stars Jim Carrey, but this isn't the slapstick god Jim Carrey from The Mask or Liar, Liar who popped into your head at first; this Jim Carrey is a man named Joel who's been so consumed by a bad break-up with his girlfriend Kate Winslet that he's decided to undergo the same procedure that she did—to have all memories of their relationship removed from his brain.
Carrey perfectly captures a real person; he's a guy who it took a lot to even get to the point where he was, and after a break-up feels like there's no way he could possibly get back. It's a stunning film from director Michel Gondry and writer Charlie Kaufman, and one of the best of the 21st century, period. Stranger Than Fiction is another film that shows that it's not always all funny and all laughter for our favorite comedic actors. The movie stars Will Ferrell as a man named Harold Crick; Harold is an IRS auditor, and is so loyal to his daily routine that it becomes clear that life is passing him by with every moment, even if it takes him a bit longer to notice it.
Part of what pushes him toward that goal is hearing a narration in his head that turns out to to be the words of a writer named Karen Eiffel Emma Thompson. Karen thinks she's writing a new novel—but she's really writing Harold's life. It's a fun movie that doesn't ever get too deep, but examines the depression that ruts in life can really put people into, sometimes without them even realizing it.
A Star Is Born is a movie that's been made before Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's version, but Cooper's turn as Jackson Maine is the one that will stick with you, particularly in its depiction of untreated mental illness. Cooper plays Maine—a music star who drinks too much—as a troubled but loving man. But he also plays him all too realistically; as someone who clearly sees a stigma involved with mental illness, unable to realize that it's OK to not be OK.
His downfall, like in every version of this story is tragic, and it stands as an important reminder that self-care is as important as anything else. It's Kind of a Funny Story is one of the most important movies on the list, because it specifically makes the point that depression and mental illness doesn't need to be something that happens for a reason; it doesn't always come from trauma or abuse—it's an illness that can creep up on anyone.
When a kid named Craig Keir Gilchrist contemplates suicide, he backs out and checks himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital, where he is institutionalized for a week.
There he finds a friend and mentor Zach Galifianakis , a love interest Emma Roberts , but most importantly, a support system for the future. Depression isn't something that's cured, but It's Kind of a Funny Story based on a novel of the same name by Ned Vizzini, based on his own experience shows that its characters and the viewer aren't alone. A coming-of-age story is always a great place to fit in some more mature themes, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of the best examples of that.
The movie follows a kid Logan Lerman who's nervous about starting high school, yes, but also still grieving the loss of his best friend, who died by suicide relatively recently. He also just feels a bit off, and isn't entirely sure why; the movie tackles that feeling of anxiety and depression that a lot of people feel on a regular basis.
Also, who doesn't love a good animated Disney movie? It made me see that I was not alone, and when you're suffering from depression that is a feeling that is immeasurably helpful.
Plus, the late great Robin Williams stars in it, and any Robin Williams film is magic to my mood. Most high school movies depict depression so melodramatically, but in this film it isn't the main focus, just an aspect of her character.
I can't explain it. Stay strong! On Friday nights, I would rent movies and lock myself in my dorm room to watch them. It sparked my love for horror movies, and it made me laugh super hard. When I was having an awful weekend, I just watched Bruce Campbell movies and felt better.
I got to meet him a few years ago at a Con and I told him about this, and he was really kind and supportive of it, and now it means that much more to me. It's so much more than an adaptation of a children's book. For some reason the insignificance it made me feel was weirdly comforting. There's something so beautiful about every character, no matter how much they're dealing with. It helped me learn how to deal with the problems I had with myself and it allowed me to connect with each character in a different way.
I will always love it. Submitted by jessicaashley It allowed me to begin to accept myself as I am again. I did a project on Philippe Petit and it gave me purpose. He is such a source of hope. Life is beautiful. It's the movie I've seen the most times and grew up watching — some kids had Disney, I had The Producers.
It still cracks me up even though I know it by heart. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are golden together. It never fails to make me smile. Really, a stunning piece of work. No matter what you struggle with you can still be the kindness you want to find in the world.
