In between the iconic lines and the great soundtracks, these movies have a little about life to teach us, too!
1. "Can't Hardly Wait"
There is no time like the present to say what you need to say! "Fate. There is such a thing as fate, but it only takes you so far. Then it is up to you to make it happen.”
2. "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off"
We shouldn’t take things too seriously. Life is short, and while we have to make time for work and school, it's equally important to remember to make the most of the time we have.
3. "Mean Girls"
If you’re going to be friends with someone, you can’t talk crap about them and secretly plot their demise. That's not being a friend. Treat people well!
4. "The Breakfast Club"
We’re all dealing with our own struggles in our own way. Don’t judge people before you get to know them.
Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club
5. "The Princess Diaries"
Don't forget who your real friends are. They're going to be the ones standing next to you no matter what anyone else thinks, and they're going to be the ones standing next to you when you find out that you're royalty.
6. "A Cinderella Story"
You have to be true to yourself! You can't live your life according to what someone else wants or thinks you should do.
7. "Clueless"
You’re going to make mistakes, and that’s OK! We can always get up tomorrow and start all over again.
8. "10 Things I Hate About You"
Don’t try to change people. It's not your place. You may end up pleasantly surprised if you just let people be themselves. Admittedly, this plot is based off of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," but that version doesn't have Heath Ledger serenading Julia Stiles on the bleachers during soccer practice.
9. "Easy A"
Don't believe everything you hear. Rumors are often false and only end up hurting people.
