Timeless classics movies that you should know


Sometimes you’re just in the mood for a classic. It stands to reason that a classic of anything is timeless and will always have a place in the world – and this is particularly true when it comes to movies. There are so many modern releases that are just great, but, sometimes it’s only a classic flick that can cut it. They are the perfect remedy for a rough day, a wet weekend, or a poorly Sunday when you can’t get out of bed.

The beauty of movies is that they can be a wonderful pick-me-up when we’re feeling down or indifferent. They are also an excellent way of helping us tap into our thoughts and feelings, and that’s where classics become invaluable. These are timeless movies, with a wonderful moral message, that are as relevant today as they were when first released. Here are five wonderful classic movies you can watch and feel much better afterward.

Casablanca (1942)

Has there been a more iconic movie ever made than Casablanca? Well, that’s debatable, but it’s definitely a bittersweet love story, buoyed by some amazing performances, and wonderfully quotable lines. Bogart and Bergman sizzle as the star-crossed lovers who just can’t seem to be together. It might not end up as the happy ending we want for our main characters, but the ending itself is full of optimism and hope for the future. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll feel great by the time it’s over. The perfect pick-me-up for when it’s wet and dreary outside. Here’s looking at you kid!

Cool Hand Luke (1967)

There aren’t many movie stars in history who were as cool as Paul Newman, and this movie sees him at his best. It’s the classic underdog story of a man held down by the system and trying to fight back in style. When Luke Jackson is sent to prison for a petty crime, he tries to pass the time by entertaining and making prison life more bearable. We won’t spoil the film by telling you what happens, but it’s a movie that reminds us to make the most out of bad situations, and always try to look on the bright side of life.
