Daniela (or Dani, for short) is as keen on film and television as she is on literature. Being the proud mother to two lovely cats, she loves pets wholeheartedly. When she's not watching a melancholic or existentialist movie, Dani is most likely enjoying a good book and the smell of its printed pages or listening to any Lana Del Rey record.
Although some may benefit from more favorable circumstances, facing challenges and overcoming obstacles is a universal aspect of the human experience, whether in the form of physical and mental health struggles or social and economic hardships. As such, it is not the least surprising that many films, particularly those based on true stories, have explored this theme so often, delivering powerful narratives that leave a lasting impression.
9 'The Martian' Director: Ridley Scott Ridley Scott's must-watch space movie starring Matt Damon is also worth a nod when it comes to this niche category. The Martian sees an astronaut become stranded on Mars after his team assumes he is dead. As such, he must rely on his skills to find a way to signal to Earth and survive until a potential rescue.
7 'Erin Brockovich' Director: Steven Soderbergh Julia Roberts delivers a tour-de-force as the titular character in this Steven Soderbergh movie based on an inspiring real-life story. The film centers around an unemployed single mother who becomes a legal assistant and brings down a California power company accused of polluting the city's water supply.
5 'The Pursuit of Happyness' Director: Gabriele Muccino Not including Gabriel Muccino's The Pursuit of Happyness would be a huge omission. This engaging biographical drama tells the inspiring true story of Chris Gardner, who struggles to take custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional career. Will Smith perfectly brings the businessman to life in one of his most rewatchable flicks.
