It’s hard to keep track of time when watching TV shows because one episode leads to another when one plot ends, another one arises, and before you know it, you’ve moved from one season to another. Are you one of those people who feels that TV shows are too much of a commitment? Do you prefer watching movies instead? If so, this post is for you.
Movies have been around for a long time. The first movie ever made was in the year 1888, and it was a silent motion picture. From 1888 to 2022, we’ve come a long way with silent motion pictures no longer being made. It has now been replaced by genres such as Drama, Horror, Action, Thriller, Romance, Science Fiction, Romance, etc.
Movies are known to be a source of inspiration and imagination, and if you’re ever feeling down or unmotivated, movies never fail to serve as a pick-me-up. Here are a few movies with the most wholesome stories, that will definitely bring a smile to your face.
1. Gifted
Mary is a young 7-year-old girl, who has an exceptional talent for mathematics. She’s what many would call Gifted. Her uncle wishes to raise her as a normal kid, but when her grandmother is notified of her exceptional math mind, she wishes to give her the education she shows the aptitude for. Mary’s grandmom and uncle go head to head in a custody battle as light is shed on old evidence, and relationships are tested.
This is the perfect movie to watch for family movie nights, on your own if you just wanna watch a happy-go-lucky movie, and especially if you’re a Chris Evans fan.

3. The Devil Wears Prada
Merryl Streep as a girl boss — If you haven’t watched this movie you’re missing out on one of the modern classics.

Cruel and a She-monster, among other things. When Andy becomes her assistant, Miranda picks apart every little flaw Andy has, sends her on multiple impossible missions and wild goose chases, and makes her work like no other assistant has, ever before. Under Miranda’s influence, her professional life starts affecting her personal life in terms of her personality, her choices, and on a larger note, her personality. When Andy realizes these changes, what is she going to do about it? Can her choices be undone?

4. Second Act
This is not a very well-known movie but it has a strong message. Starring Jennifer Lopez, Milo Ventimiglia, and Vanessa Hudgens, this movie addresses the flaw in our system, which is not considering street smarts as equivalent to educational qualifications. Maya, one of the smartest people known to her loved ones, has never been to college, but she’s smart nonetheless. With a fake profile, she lands a job at a corporate firm and uses this opportunity to protect her truth as one to prove the value of being street-smart.
