With great movies come great quotes; however, we might miss these knowledge nuggets during the actual screening of the movie. So, in order to "get the knowledge" as Janet Jackson would sing, let's count down from ten to one for most underrated pieces of advice from movies.
10. Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump's momma had it right on this one, you never know what life is gonna throw at you, so be thankful for everything and everyone you have, and don't forget to take each day as it comes.
9. A Cinderella Story
Just like Hillary Duff's character, Sam, said, h8ters gonna h8; so don't let them bring you down, just keep on doing you. Be confident in the kind, beautiful, and original person you are.
8. Friends With Benefits
When thinking about whether or not someone is, to quote the ever inspirational Hannah Montana, a "true friend" think about if that person "will be there till the end", if they'll "pull you aside when something ain't right" and if they'll "talk to you now and into the night, 'til it's alright again." But in all seriousness, remember that you deserve to have people around you who love and support you, so if someone is only bringing negativity into your life, maybe it's time to cut them loose...
7. Spider Man
Always remember to carry yourself in a positive, uplifting and caring way because someone does look up to, and while you may not want it to be your job, you are someone's role model. Also, remember to be responsible and follow the rules, just because you have power doesn't mean you're above anyone else. Shout out to the U.S. government, this is one piece of advice that they could all benefit from.6. The Lion King
Appreciate the time you spend with your parents and loved ones. Remember that as you are growing up, your parents and loved ones are growing older too, so take-in and enjoy every moment that you get to spend with them.
5. The Shawshank Redemption
Life moves quickly, and it only speeds up as you get older,so make sure you make the best of each day. Live each day to the fullest, make sure you have only a limited number of regrets when you are older. Remember that thing you said you would do but you didn't? You should go do that now, time is a ticking.
4. Saving Private Ryan
Be thankful for everything that you have, and remember that everything comes at a price. Be especially thankful for your freedom because it is something that is earned everyday by the individuals in our armed forces. The men and women in our armed forces sacrifice so much for us, the least we can do is say thank you. If you see an officer go up to him or her and say thank you to them; I promise you it will brighten their day.3. He's Just Not That Into You
If someone you are romantically involved with does not treat you well, chances are they don't care. Please remember, you deserve the best and you definitely deserve someone who cares for you. While it might be hard, drop that idiot like a hot potato because better things are going to come, and you will eventually find someone who loves and cares for you in the way you deserve.
2. The Pursuit of Happiness
Will Smith's character, Chris Gardner, said it best. Never ever give up on something you believe in or want to do, and never be intimidated into backing down. If you have a dream, stick with it and work hard.
1. Mean Girls
Maybe one of the most underrated quotes from any movie ever. While the film is based on a stereotypic portrayal of female rivalry, Ms. Norbury says it best. In order for women to make strides and gain complete equality, we and the media need to stop turning everything into a competition and girl fight. Instead, we, as women, need to support each other and draw inspiration from the other amazing women around us.
