"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.

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
