Sorry for the late reply, but:

Absolutely, movies have a wonderful way of uplifting our spirits. Here's a list of English movies that might bring you courage, motivation, and a positive perspective:

1. The Call of the Wild (2020) - A great family movie about a big dog who experiences a big shift in his life from domestic to wild. (If you haven't read the book, what are you waiting for. There is the Call of the Wild and White Fang. Both are by Jack London and they are kind of inverted stories.) (Available on Disney+)

2. The Grey (2012) - Plane crash survivors must survive harsh weather and a pack of hungry wolves as they trekking through Alaska from where they crashed in the mountains. There is a great overall message about willpower and human nature. (Available with a Max or Spectrum subscription or on prime video for 3.79)

@helloOrange2643 The scariest movie I've seen for awhile was called *Vivarium.* It's sci Fi, alien themed terror!

honest theif 2023

@helloOrange2643

if anyone's in the mood for romance movies, therefore trilogy is beautiful!!!1

@helloOrange2643

Angel's Egg is a beautifully animated film about hope, however I'd recommend watching it when you have the energy to watch a 1.5 hour film with almost no dialogue.   

I don't know if someone already said it, but if you are into horror movies, I highly recommend the movie Sinister, only the first one. I also enjoyed the movie Talk to me.

Alice in borderlands is such a good series !!! But movie I’d say divergent
