It's that time of year again when everyone decides they're having a rebrand. The new year brings on a sense of optimism - or maybe delusion - in us that just can't be matched, so you know in the next couple weeks we'll be seeing everyone tryna get fit, get rich, get hot, or get hired. Whatever's on your radar for 2025, whether you're manifesting wealth and a love life or just hoping make it till the next year, here's some movies to help you keep your resolutions.
Stop drinking - The Shining (1980)
If you're wanting to stay teetotal in 2025, there's only one movie we'd recommend watching to scare you off the booze: The Shining. Dare you to take a swig of anything after watching the alcohol-induced mental breakdown that's this classic horror film.
Learn to cook - Chef (2014)
2025 is the year we all get back in the kitchen and finally try to clean up the mess we made of cooking during the Pandemic. Obviously there are plenty of movies you could watch to get your cooking game on, but we'd recommend Chef.
Get fit - Rocky (1976)
Nobody knows how to hit the gym like Rocky. If you're one of the many people tryna get fit in 2025, swap the crowded January gyms for a flight of public stairs.
Get a new job - The Intern (2015)
If you're in the market for a new career in 2025, this adorable comedy-drama is the perfect movie to watch to remind yourself a) it's never too late for a career change and b) you could always have f*cked up worse.
Start therapy - Girl, Interrupted (1999)
We know a lot of ppl who should be tuning into this one for 2025 (you know who you are), but ngl Girl, Interrupted is kind of the opposite of a "how to guide" for starting therapy. Instead, maybe just watch this '90s flick to feel closer to Angelina Jolie.
Start investing - Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Your step-by-step guide of how not to get into investing is Leo DiCaprio's Wolf of Wall Street, which basically explains what to do with your new year's resolution if you wanna end up behind bars. It's a classic though, so give it a watch anyway.
Get into a relationship - (500) Days of Summer (2009)
For those looking to get into a relationship in 2025, we have the King of delusion himself to slap you in the face with reality: Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the diabolical Tom Hansen. Do not be like this man.
Give fewer f*cks - The Hangover (2009)
For anyone looking to take a f*cking chill pill in 2025, The Hangover is a must watch. This movie has everything for manifesting a wild year: Vegas, monkeys, crazy nights out, and Bradley Cooper.
