7 Movies All Bloggers Should Go See Now

According to statistics, there are more than 20 million bloggers in the world each of them who write about different subjects. There are some valuable lessons that can be learned from taking a break from your laptop and warming up the DVD player instead.

No matter if you love to blog about finance, food, fashion, technology, or dating, the seven movies listed below are sure to inspire you to write more. (not listed in any particular order)

1.The Social Network: Featuring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake (2010)

What better way to improve a blog about technology and social media tips and tricks, especially those pertaining to recreational use and job search and marketing, than by learning how one of the most popular social networking sites came into existence – Facebook. This movie tells the story of how a Harvard drop out (Mark Zuckerberg) first became involved in the concept of Facebook and the obstacles he had to overcome to escape a massive lawsuit and claim ownership of the social networking site. With that said, as an added bonus – this film can also benefit those who blog about entrepreneurship and law.

2.Pirates of Silicon Valley: Featuring Anthony Michael Hall, Noah Wyle, and Martin Burke (1999)

All tech blog junkies alike will get a kick watching this film that highlights the parallel lives of three of the biggest names in computer history – Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The biopic shifts back and forth from each character to explain how “borrowed” concepts helped develop the two biggest computer operating systems in the world. Like with The Social Network, this movie is also great for bloggers that focus on entrepreneurship.

3.Misery: Featuring James Caan and Kathy Bates (1990)

For aspiring writers who blog as a form to get their own material out or to provide guidance and assistance for other aspiring writers, this film (which is based on a book written by Stephen King) may spook your socks off but there are some valuable lessons to be learned like don’t go to a remote area to find inspiration without telling anyone of your location and some of your best writing material can evolve from your “misery.” In a nutshell the film is about a famous writer that comes face-to-face with a psycho fanatic. This is also a great film for those that like to blog about mental health – as Kathy Bates’ character is suffering from some “major” mental issues.

4.Julie and Julia: Featuring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep (2009)

Back in 2009 this film lured in thousands of foodies to the big screen who wanted to get a glimpse of how real-life food blogger Julie Powell cooked her way through the renowned Julia Child’s cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Based on the true paralleling stories of both Julie Powell and Julia Child, this self-discovery film really teaches you to follow your dreams. The movie even inspired another food blogger to do the same, he’s currently cooking through his favorite chef’s cookbook, Michael Symon’s “Live to Cook”.

5.Wall Street: Featuring Michael Douglass, Charlie Sheen and Daryl Hannah (1987)

This is the perfect film for business finance and investment bloggers. Not only will it teach you how the boys do it in the big leagues (Wall Street) but it’ll also remind finance bloggers to warn their audience that while financial stability and success are important – greed, money and power are evils that can wreak havoc on your life.

6.The Devil Wears Prada: Featuring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt (2006)

If you’re a fashion blogger chances are you’ve already seen this flick (multiple times), but if you haven’t, do it. Now. In short, this film follows a frumpy journalism college graduate as she tries to launch her career as the assistant to a cut-throat fashion magazine editor. Aside from the film being overall aesthetically pleasing it features beautiful garments made from some of the most famous fashion designers in the world and even has a cameo or two of the designers themselves. The film really gives you some insight on how ruthless (and important) the industry can be.

7. Sex and the City: The Movie: Featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon (2008)

While technically the TV series-turned movie does not focus on a blogger (Carrie Bradshaw is a print newspaper columnist), let’s be honest – if the original series premiered in 2011, she would have very well been a blogger. With that said, Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is notorious for giving her readers real advice about dating in the Big Apple, most of which is learned through personal experience. The movie might even give some dating and relationship bloggers some juicy topics they can focus on as well – including infidelity, commitment issues and children.
