We’re sure that nothing could take our minds off stressful exam sessions and get us ready for vacation other than a good movie. Or maybe a movie marathon? Watching movies with friends, family, or even alone is a fun and enjoyable form of self-care.

 So, these are some of the movie recommendations that would get you hooked from the first minute and guarantee you a well-spent time.

Tick, tick… BOOM!

“Tick, tick… BOOM!” is a musical biographical movie that revolves around the artist Jonathan Larson’s touching life story, his passion for theater, and his bumpy road to success. You will find yourself laughing, crying, dreaming, and almost included with the characters and attached to their storylines. Andrew Garfield’s performance as Jonathan Larson was emotional and powerful and will make you feel connected to him from the beginning to the very end.

In my opinion, this movie might be one of the best tributes to Jonathan Larson’s life and achievements and will excite people to know more about the great artist and his work.   

About Time.

“About Time” has been added to the list of our favorite movies for a while now. Its story revolves around Tim, who discovers his family’s secret that their men can time travel!

We watch Tim’s journey during the movie and how it goes. Does everything go as expected? Or do some things go south? You’ll have to watch and see.

The Truman Show.

In this movie, we witness Truman discover the truth behind his life and try to find answers and solutions. You will definitely get attached to the movie’s enjoyable story and Jim Carrey’s outstanding comedy performance.
