51 Inspiring Movies to Lift Your Spirits in No Time (Purewow)

Let's face it: Turn on the news and something tumultuous is always happening. And in the age of 24/7 internet connection, it's easy to default to doomscrolling. Sometimes we need a little pick-me-up to lift our spirits—and indulging in that extra piece of dessert doesn't always cut it. One of my go-tos when the world is feeling unbalanced? Cinema. As I previously wrote, movies provide blessed escapism, whether I'm watching a Wes Anderson flick for the umpteenth time or looking for an inspiring movie to perk me up. If you're looking to dive into the comforting world of make-believe, too, I've rounded up 51 of the most inspiring movies that just might help. From feel-good rom-coms (hello, Love Actually!) to underrated classics like The Pursuit of Happyness and The Truman Show, here are a few uplifting movies.
