Recommend me movies where a character (or several), go through great inner transformations. Got over depression, mid-life crisis, overcame fears, even if there were several losses and shit times in between.
I'm thinking stuff like
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Fearless
Good Will Hunting
idk, even if it doesn't match my description precisely, recommend me something.

What was the lesson? Been years since I've seen it.
I second this. One of the greatest of secrets of kino to exist.
the main spy dude becomes sympathetic to the people being spied on and becomes a 'good man'
Seen it! Love Tim and Eric all the way s2
One of my favs of all time.
I've honestly never heard of it in my life. Just saw the trailer and can't figure out the tone of the movie. I'll put it in my list.
The Big Kahuna
Martin & Orloff
Poor Little White Guy
American Beauty
Everything Must Go (2010)

The Emperor's Club is very similar to The Dead Poet's Society, check it out.
A history of Violence
OP here, just watched simply because it was just so bizarre I couldn't stop watching it. I can understand how it's forgotten but with a cult following; It's just too strange for a romcom, too romcom for a strange movie, it has a fuzzy uplifting feel to it, but also it's so fantastical (in the sense of fantasy) it's also a bit hard to relate after he accepts to go to the volcano. Totally not what I expected to watch tonight.
Thanks for all the other recs.
Muriel's Wedding
Rocky
Fearless
Defending Your Life
Back to the Future
An Office and a Gentleman
Maybe Stripes
The Fountain
I thought "it's kind of a funny story" was better than people gave it credit for.
