"It's a wonderful Life". I'm not religious but the message of the movie is very straight forward, and very important. Be a good person, always try to help others, have integrity, and try to make meaningful connections with people. You also don't have to have a long list of accomplishments to have a meaningful life, as long you positively affect others, you've done good.
It's a wonderful life used to be my favorite movie to watch around Christmas time, to remind myself of whats important in life, but now I've added:
The movie "About Time". Slow down. Savor, and enjoy life. Most days I forget about the message of that movie, but I try to remind myself every now and then. It hits especially hard now as my father passed away at 80 last year.
Donnie Darko is an upside down version of "it's a wonderful life"
