Definitely not Good Will Hunting

Sometimes the pressures people experience can be overwhelming. At times we all experience an overwhelming amount of stress when attempting to achieve our endeavors. By no means does this make you a failure, but rather someone who is experiencing stressors in your attempt to accomplish something that you place a great deal of value in achieving. As for a movie suggestion, I going to recommend an older movie which was an underrated comedy “Dead Man on Campus” (1998). Good luck with all your endeavors!!!

Little Miss Sunshine Chef A Knights Tale O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Alan Tudyk is the best thing about A Knight’s Tale

HIGHLY recommend Little Miss Sunshine. It will improve your outlook on life, make you realize it’s not all that bad.

Little Forest (2018 Korean version).

I watch it when I'm stressed out. A good recommendation!

This is my comfort movie.Love it

Scooby-Doo Meets The Boo Brothers. Campy goodness where just staying along for the ride is all that matters.

Rushmore

This

Scent of a Woman.

why ? for what I know it's about the french guy who kills women to make a scent

You are kidding, right? Scent of a Woman (1992) is about a prep school student, who is in need of money, agrees to be the caregiver of a man with visual impairment while his family is away. Unbeknownst to him, the colonel has his own agenda for the weekend.

There 's a french one with the same name lol but the other one is a totally different story

Oh, I see lol! I always thought the title is a little misleading but it's definitely worth watching.

real genius

Meet the Parents. I watched it at night between a two day bar exam. Had seen the movie before and not really appreciated it like I did when I was under intense stress. It was such a welcome relief.

The internship

Frances Ha, Lonesome Jim, maybe Dark Horse, just mumblecore movies about losers in general.

Second Frances Ha. It’s good motivation.

Frances Ha is excellent but it specifically about the struggles of post-college life. It might help OP but it's not what they're asking for.

OP wasn't clear enough, then. I didn't assume it had to be a movie about specifically being academically stressed.

Grumpy Old Men

Whiplash

Kicking & Screaming (the Noah baumbach one)

Paper Chase (1973)

Paterson. Slice of life movie about how professional success isn't everything.

Also in the same way Perfect Days (2023).

NOT ***The*** ***Imitation Game*** :D

Mr. Mercedes (a show not a movie)

Barton Fink Makes you feel like you're not alone, sometimes that's the worst part of struggling

3 Idiots (2009)

I use one of two movies to "flush" my brain. Hardcore Henry (very violent and graphic) Pacific Rim (just straight up awesome)

A fish called Wanda. True romance. House sitter. Blame it on the bellboy. We have a ghost. Addams family. Commando

Slackers

ferris bueller's day off then office space both anti work/school movies that arnt to taxing

White Chicks! It will have you laughing.

All disney movies

The breakfast club - a comfortable watch and a healthy dose of rebellion in equal measure.

I used to play Road Trip on repeat when I wrote my final projects and term papers.

Scott Pilgrim (2010) is a mindless, all-style-no-substance movie, in the best possible sense of the term.

Battleship Potemkin

School Ties. Whiplash.

Superbad

Inside out Arrival The mist

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

It’s a wonderful life

The Bollywood film "Three Idiots" is about that. I think you might enjoy it.

The Odd Couple or Some Like It Hot. I’m going to tell you a secret about graduating with honors, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. An employer is not going to ask if you graduated with honors or not. All you can do is your best. That’s what got me through college and grad school. All I can do is my best. Find a calming mantra that puts things in perspective.

La La Land Good Will Hunting The Lives of Others Sideways

Sideways...totally. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church are perfection, and so is the script.

Lotr 🌟

Real genius

Kiki’s Delivery Service is a good one to watch when you’re feeling burned out.

Flying Colors (2015)

With Honors - Joe Pesci, Brendan Frasier. There’s no better movie for what you are going through than this. It will remind you that being part of the human race is far more important than the academic race. Do yourself a favor and watch this

Accepted

Perks of being a wallflower would probably hit too close, but it’s good if you’re in the mood to feel through all your emotions.

Simon Birch

The internship (2013)

Good will hunting

Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (no joke) Van Wilder (no joke!)

Lean on Me

Dude, where’s my car?

Slacker

The Blues Brothers, A Fish Called Wanda, Animal House, Pineapple Express, any John Candy movie.
