First Blood (1982)
The Life Lesson: Treat everyone you encounter with respect.
How It’s Taught: If only Sherriff Teasle were a bit more tolerant and a little less judgmental, he could have let John Rambo go about his busines🤪s in peace, and he probably woulꦓd have left town in a few days anyway.
Okay, so the guy looks a bit scruffy, but he wasn’t doing anyone any harm꧅. Instead, Teasle treats𒉰 him like shit, and all hell breaks loose. Nice one Sherriff.
48 Hrs (1982)
The Life Lesson: You can find friendship in the most unlikely places.
How It’s Taught: You’d think a co💙p and a robber could never be pals, but friendship’s a funny old game, parℱticularly in Hollywood.

The Dark Knight (2008)
The Life Lesson: Money isn’t everything, fun is important too.
How It’s Taught: Bruce Wayne is absolutely loaded, but spends the majority of the film in a deep fu⛦nk.
Tওhe Joker, on t🐽he other hand, doesn’t give a hoot for money, and seems to be having a whale of a time.
Indeed, as Bruce glumly stares out of his mill🎉ion-dollar penthouse, the Joker is gleefu𝕴lly setting fire to a vast pile of cash.
Are either of th𓂃em truly happy? Perhaps not, but we know who’s having more fun.
Spider-Man (2002)
The Life Lesson: Virtue is often thankless.
How It’s Taught: Uncle Ben was the one who told Spidey that “with great power comes great🦩 responsibility”, but he should probably also have mentioned that no-one will thank you for being a hero either.
Throughout the three films, Peter Parker largely finds himself suffering for the greater good, with nary a hint of thanܫks from tho෴se he cares about most.
Batman is the same over in Gotham. Vir🍬tue is its own reward, chaps, which is why not many people go in for it!
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
The Life Lesson: There is always someone you can trust.
How It’s Taught: Even when things are looking bleak, and it see𝓰ms as though the whole world 🦄is out to get you, there’s always someone out there who’s willing to lend a hand.
In Bourne’s case he’s got the whole weight of Treadstone and Blackbriar coming down on him like a ton of bricks, but suddenly finds out that Joan Allen’s ice q♛ueen is ac🐷tually backing him up. No man is an island etc. etc.
Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace (1999)
The Life Lesson: Fear is the biggest enemy one can face.
How It’s Taught: There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Well actually, there’s plenty🍬, but f𓃲ear is the main one.
Don’t believe us? Well maybe you’ll listen to Yoda then. “Fear is the path to the dark side,” says the little green oracle. &l🌱dquo;Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate🍌 leads to suffering.”
There is plenty of evil in the world, but so long as you don’t live in fea🥀r of it, it can never truly prevai𓆏l.
