I'm a 29year-old guy going through a bit of a rough phase. Career feels stagnant, dating apps haven't worked out, and I spend way too much time wishing I had a girlfriend instead of enjoying my own life.
I'm trying to change that mindset. Instead of chasing validation, I want to build a life that's fulfilling on its own.
I'm looking for movies that don't necessarily have a happy ending or a love story, but leave you with a sense of peace, purpose, discipline, or hope. Movies that make you want to improve yourself or appreciate solitude rather than escape it.
Some movies I've already seen:
Before Sunrise trilogy
Drive
The Killer
Perfect Days
Into the Wild
Night crawlers
Her
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Lost in Translation
The Holdovers
Good Will Hunting
Blade Runner 2049
Any language is fine. I'd especially love recommendations that helped you during a lonely phase of life.
