Set to be released October 8, Learning to Drive tells the story of a successful literary agent (Patricia Clarkson) whose break-up forces her to become more self sufficient.
With the help of a Sikh driving instructor (Ben Kingsley), this is a story of embracing independence and the value of true friendship.
Here we look at eight movies that inspired us to do something.
Learning to Drive
Wendy (Patricia Clarkson) is forced to stand on her own feet with the help of an unlikely friendship that develops between her and driving instructor Darwan (Ben Kingsley).
Eat Pray Love
The ultimate travel envy movie, Eat Pray Love will have you pulling out your suitcases and booking that one way ticket around the world! #wanderlust
Bridget Jones Diary
Who started penning their rambling thoughts after watching Bridget Jones Diary? Guilty. The most loveable trainwreck that is Bridget Jones inspired us to pick up a pen or jump on a laptop and get writing! Look at all these memories floating around just waiting to be recorded!
Whip It
Roller-derby is an actual thing and I can’t believe we had to wait for Whip It before we knew it was totally our calling!
Thelma and Louise
Sisters are doin’ it for themselves! What better way to inspire you to pack up the car and go on a girls weekend than cult classic, Thelma and Louise. Fingers crossed for a Brad Pitt lookalike along the way.
Legally Blonde
As we watch Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde’ chase her dreams and succeed in flying (pink) colours, we can’t help but hear a little voice calling out to us saying ‘you can do anything!’ Study a new subject, take a course or even sign up for a night class! There could be a whole load of skills you didn’t even know you had!
Now and Then
They used to help you clean the bird poo off your school cap and assure you that Matt definitely had a crush on you. ‘Now and Then’ gives off some serious nostalgia, urging you to get in contact with your childhood friends.
The Help
You is kind, you is smart, you is important. Speak up for what you believe in! ‘The Help’ is a stellar movie which ignites a passion deep within, urging us to hold our ground and believe in ourselves.
