"Napoleon Dynamite" is a hidden gem of 2000's movies. This movie is quite possibly one of the best movies of all time. Upon first viewing, it may seem like it's just a weird Indie movie, but it actually has a lot of amazing moments and lessons. Here are the reasons why "Napoleon Dynamite" is the best movie of the 2000's.

1. It told the truth about how we all felt about school.

Napoleon understood school was a horrible punishment we had to endure each and every day until graduation.

2. It preached independence and spontaneity in everyday life.

Everything about the movie was spontaneous. Napoleon did what he wanted when he wanted. When his best friend decided to run for class president, Napoleon was there ready to do anything he needed.

3. It has the best love story of all time.

Lafawnduh and Kip were relationship goals in every sense of the term. The couple may seem like an odd pairing, but they were really perfect for each other.

4. It taught us how to properly take care of our pets.

Napoleon may not have loved Tina, but he did know she needed to eat. He taught us the proper way to force feed our pets.

5. It showed the importance of being an entrepreneur.


Deb knew selling her handmade keychains would help her get money for college. She truly is an inspiration to us all.

6. It gave us some seriously important style tips.


To be able to look stylish and prevent yourself from being attacked is an amazing tip that we have to thank Rex for.

7. It told us it was OK to embellish what you did on summer vacation, as long as it sounded really believable.

It was totally believable Napoleon hunted wolverines over the summer, and the fact someone even questioned it was ridiculous.

8. It preached body positivity.


Napoleon needed Deb to know she was perfect the way she was and there was no need for her to watch her weight.

9. It showed us the best dance routine in any movie ever.

Napoleon danced like no one was watching even though he did it in front of the entire school.

10. It taught us how to get a significant other.

It's important to be the whole package in order to get someone to love you. Napoleon showed us there are a variety of skills that would allow us to woo someone.

"Napoleon Dynamite" is a movie that will go down in history as the best movie of the 2000's.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
