The Karate Kid

Miyagi taught Daniel that nature itself had imposed the rule, “First learn stand, then learn fly.” He said this to teach the young, impulsive Daniel to have patience with his progress.

3 Idiots
Director: RajkumarHirani.
Cast: AamirKhan , R. Madhavan , Sharman Joshi , KareenaKapoor , Omi Vaidya ,and BomanIrani .
3 Idiotsis another great Hindi/Bollywood movie with Aamir Khanagain as one of the actors. The movie is centred around friendships in college. Even though it doesn’t have any connection to school per se, it’s still a good watch for school students to prepare for the coming college days.
There are many ups and downs in the movie (which makes it a great rollercoaster-like masterpiece) and you can sometimes even feel like bawling like a baby because of how rich it is in emotions.
Dead Poets Society
Director: Peter Weir.
Cast: Robin Williams ,Robert Sean Leonard , Ethan Hawke.
The movie is set in a fictional boarding school called Welton Academy, where John Keating (Robin Williams) is an English teacher who has very unconventional methods of teaching poetry to his students. The scene is set in Vermont where the students eventually learn how their teacher was a part of the ‘Dead Poets Society’ once.
Inside Out
Director :Pete Docter
Cast :Amy Poehler , Phyllis Smith , Bill Hader , Lewis Black , Mindy Kaling.
Inside Out portrays the idea that while people may think they need to be happy all the time, that is not true. Instead, the film encourages the full spectrum of emotions, conveying that they all are an essential part of life and there is nothing wrong with feeling sad.
Rather than trying to “fix” emotions, we should accept them and process them as they present themselves to us.
