Top movies every engineer should watch (and why)

I'm back to CE after long time. Very nice to see grand giveaway. My entry:

Movie Name: 3 IDIOTS (Bollywood, Hindi)

Why Every Engineers Should Watch This Movie: 3 Idiots is my all time favourite movie and I think every engineer must watch it once in their lifetime because the movie is based on the lives of 3 engineers. The most important message in the movie is that one should follow their heart and passion in their careers in order to be successful. I think it's very important message.

I got inspired by the movie so much that I worked hard and studied very hard to get a good score in GRE. I found out that my passion is for engineering and higher studies in MS will help me achieve my dreams. I owe all my success to inspiration derived from 3 IDIOTS movie and I am sure that this movie has inspired so many other engineers like me.

October Sky

A bunch of kids watch in amazement the launch of Russian rockets, and nurture dreams to launch their own rocket some day. They work on their dream for a long time, and after several hardships, frustrations, failure and strained familial relationships, finally see their dream soar through the sky.

It's based on a true story too. 😀

Source code and 3 Idiot..
Source code is movie which was a journey of facebook.How mark juckelberg think and being a enterprenaure.
3 Idiot is a movie which is totally a journey of an Engineers.this movie change the future of many engineers.
I totally recommended to watch this 2 movies.

Notice to all participants: A proper explanation will drastically improve your chances of winning! Make use of 50-100 word limit.

I think my all time favourite movie is (VIP in Tamil) Raghuvaran Btech(in Telugu). It says about every life of an engineer who studies engineering and pursue a different job.The movie says you have to wait as long as you get your dream job and do not take a different job that does not have any interest in you .
The movie also shows that however your parents ,neighbours and sibilings humiliate you for not getting a job do not pursue job only because you have to show off the society that I am an earning person.It also says that you can only succeed in life if you have interest and passion and honesty.
I learn from the movie that What ever may be the position of you in the society if you go in wrong way eventually you have to fall down and follow your heart rather than the other persons.

Appolo 13 the best movie.becoz.....On April 11th 1970, Cmd. James Lovell, Cmd. John Swigert and Pilot Fred Haise set out on a trip to the moon on the Apollo 13 module. On April 13th, however, an unknown glitch caused their oxygen tank to rupture. An army of NASA engineers had to pull off a four-day marathon to get the Astronauts home alive.

Very few films depict engineers as heroes.

3IDIOTS.,., Hollywood film.
That movie gives us difference between learning & study. And how relex when you are in stress. What is the value of friendship.

Hollywood: The Social Network
Bollywood: 3 Idiots (There Must not be a single Doubt)

If you have seen these movies then I don't need to explain you.And If You haven't then there is no meaning of explaining anything regarding this.

Bridge on river Kwai
I watched this movie thrice,twice when I was in 7th or 8th standard. I really wasn't very good in English having done primary from a Hindi medium school. Second time again I could not understand many conversations between prisoners and the colonel. 3rd time I watched in the year 1976 at Gwalior when I grasped the entire concept. Its the struggle of a chief to get the all important bridge constructed in shortest time from reluctant workers who actually were prisoners. The way colonel motivated them is to learn for Gethsemane people.

Regardless of where we will be, we as a whole have an exceptional place for our mother land and wish for making commitments from our side for the advancement of the place. This film is about a NASA researcher who returns to his town in India and disregarding his vocation, acquires a change the town.

I will recommend to watch "The Imitation Game" based on life of Mathematician Sir Allan Turing who break the enigma code by encrypting message and feeding them to machine called " Bombe " which he created using based on mathematical equations . Machine is an entire modification of polish scienetist with pure genious ideas worked by Allan Turing and his colleagues .his remarkable work not only save the millions of kide by decreasing span of WW2 by 2 year b y deciphering german codes . Even though today his work used in making algorithms, logical ideas of solving solution in computers,networks etc.
Sadly his life was tragically end but his wor is astonoshinhly awakens thousands of upcoming generations in history of mankind.

3 Idiots is my all time favourite movie and I think every engineer must watch it once in their lifetime because the movie is based on the lives of 3 engineers. The most important message in the movie is that one should follow their heart and passion in their careers in order to be successful. I think it's very important message.

please read `management` in place of `gethsemane~

Every engineer should watch because at the end we realise beauty of concentration where our knowledge speak itself
What are you wating for fo ahed and watch

A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is a touching, emotionally charged film detailing the life of a brilliant academic who suffers from schizophrenia. This affliction slowly takes over his mind and we watch as his life crumbles apart around him. He abandons his students, alienates his colleagues and replaces his research with a fruitless and all-consuming obsession. Eventually he is taken into hospital where he is forced, with the help of electric-shock therapy and regular medication, to accept his condition and attempt to repair the shattered fragments of his life.
He succeeds. Of course he succeeds, this is Hollywood and Hollywood likes a happy ending. In this case the happy ending is that, as an old man and after years of struggle, the poor academic is awarded the Nobel Prize. One interesting point though; it's a true story and our hero is none other than John Forbes Nash Jr.

3 idiot is best movie to ever watch .In this real condition of engineering had shown and what the one engineer faces his or her engineering life and actually what the engineers should do instead of running for marks engineering is not getting 85/90% marks it's actually to learn something new and do something innovative that is real engineering and I think in 3 idiots the actually engineering life had been shown.

I would say MARTIAN.
Because an engineer should be able to work at the worst case scenario to survive and keep on using his mind, the efforts he had made. He is an engineer and he knows how to cultivate, and make thin work. He in the movie explains an engineer should be t one who knows everything no matter what the case might be.

Vella Illa Pattadhari (VIP) Tamil movie
In this movie the concept of it was the engineer must not under estimate himself and going for any other job like delivery boy , executives.....etc without knowing his worth of engineer knowledge ...The engineer is the one who was a creator of everything.....A engineer must not loss his/her hope and should be always brave by knowing his faith of knowledge towards all enengineers.....So the movie every engineer must watch was VIP

Movie : JOBS (Hollywood , 2013)
Why ? > It describes the life story of a well known personality , who build an empire with his knowledge , dynamic ideas and an achievers attitude.
An engineer could get a lot of thinks to learn from this movie , most important its never giving up persona can't be forsaken.
It also explains that anyone can achive his/her dreams at any point in life , only when he/she is clear about that goal in his/her mind.
its a must watch movie , Go for it!!

I know many have already mentioned this movie "3 idiots".
but WHY is not justified.
i will start with the name of the movie, IDIOTS because they opted for engineering and so we are.
the movie beautifully depicts the LONG 4 years of engineering in SHORT 3 hours and we start to miss the movie as soon as it gets over JUST LIKE OUR ENGINEERING LIFE.
this movie shows all the phase of an ENGINEER.
from ambitious fresher to frustrated senior.
from broke student to successful engineer.
from heartbreak to love story.
from family to friends.
from BOY/GIRL to MAN/LADY.
form NO ONE to SOMEONE.
does not matter how many times you have seen it. every time it give you a NOSTALGIA.

Movie: pyar ka pachnama is my all time favourite movie and I think every engineer must watch it once in their lifetime because the movie is based on the lives of 3 guys. The most important message in the movie is that one should follow their heart and passion in their careers in order to be successful but if he fall in love then his success is goes back sometime. I think it's very important message.

I got inspired by the movie so much that I worked hard and studied very hard to get a good score in GATE. I found out that my passion is for engineering and higher studies.it will help me achieve my dreams. I owe all my success to inspiration derived from Pyar ka panchnama movie and I am sure that this movie has inspired so many other engineers like me.

Pacific Rim
The film is set in the future, when Earth is at war with the Kaiju colossal monsters which have emerged from an interdimensional portal on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Should Watch this movie........😀

Dead Poets Society
" Carpe Diem, Seize the Day, Boys. Make your lives Extraordinary.."
Directed by Peter Weir, Movie stars Great Robin Williams.
This is the Story of an unconventional English Teacher (Robin Williams as John Keating) who encourages his school students to prioritize their individuality and pursue their passion. Movie's Screenplay was on point. The Story puts emphasis on how societal and parental pressure can change a person's life drastically.
This is what happens in most of our lives, in the race of making others happy we forget to make ourselves happy.

Thanks 😀

I think "Swadesh"
..
Because according to me the true engineer is that person who believes in to make life easy of people.. In this movie srk used his engineering to give electricity to villagers..
So "Swadesh"..
..

Movie: Swades

About this movie
Shahrukh Khan as Mohan Bhargava is the project head at NASA. He visit India to get his mother back to the US, but she refuses and he stays there for long. He began to understand the problems the village faces and provides a solution for it. There after he stays in India.

Why this movie ?
This movie dictates the life of every Indian engineer, his eager to work abroad and get wealthy. But at some point of time he remembers about India and the conditions in his village. In fact we should have the motivation to work for our mother country India. We should strive to develop our nation rather than going forward to make money and fame. Help our under developed areas to make them come forward. This is what every engineer should have in his/her mind.

Lesson from this movie
We are educated and more talented, but we refuse to put that talent for the benefit our country and our fellow beings, instead we go to big MNC's and work for the foreign. This is selfish behavior and need to be removed. What as an engineer we can do is that, live share and innovate so that common people benefit from this. We should put our talents for the development of this country first and then go for the development of others. How can one fulfill the hunger of other if he still doesn't fulfill his own ? Its time to learn from this move and more forward to help other who are really in need.

Learn from our mistakes and be with the one who needs our help. Give our hand to some one in need and be a handsome fellow. Thats what every engineer should be doing to prosper and live long.
Remember engineers are the building blocks in a society, lets not waste any blocks !

If its Bollywood movie then its 3 IDIOTS. This movie don't just guide Engineers but also the students who are passionate about other fields but forcefully or blindly persuing engineering. It tells the very key fact of life that you have to live your passion for which you are created.
And if its Hollywood movie then its HUGO.
In this movie the little boy tries to fix things and things related to his dad. In the journey he goes through so many engineering advantures. The whole film is so much inpiring for engineers.

The one movie every engineer should watch is "3 Idiots". Released in 2009, the movie touched the hearts of millions of engineers, even Hollywood fans like myself. It is an inspiration for engineers( both student and working) that are still trying to find to find their own path. It not only emphasises on the college life of 3 students but also their future as engineers after numerous choices that every student my age has to face. Comming from different backgrounds, the students let creativity, talent, hope and above all- determination -pave their way for success. 3 Idiots, no matter how old, will always be a movie for engineers, a movie about engineers.

Sultan - I recently watched this movie. Though this movie revolves around wrestling and Haryana but it could be any game or any state (place). What attracts me to this movie is dedication of the character SULTAN to achieve name and fame for him. How did he work hard? The passion he showed to achieve what he thought to be. We can apply the story line to our life too. Game can be replaced with our own jobs.

MOVIE NAME:- VARANAM AAYIRAM
Varanam aayiram is one of favourite movie for me,not only for me for all young generation's.In that movie hero is a mechanical engineer.Love is a general feeling for all birth on all human beings and all living thing's.That movie based movie love.In that movie hero finished mechanical engineering.He worked as a testing engineer in ABT MARUTI.After getting he got married.I'm also mechanical engineer and too want a life live that this movie hero having.All Mechanical engineer who all are in love should watch this film..........

On April 11th 1970, Cmd. James Lovell, Cmd. John Swigert and Pilot Fred Haise set out on a trip to the moon on the Apollo 13 module. On April 13th, however, an unknown glitch caused their oxygen tank to rupture. An army of NASA engineers had to pull off a four-day marathon to get the Astronauts home alive.

Very few films depict engineers as heroes. Fewer are based off of the lives of living, breathing individuals. Fewer yet do so with a brilliant all-star cast. If you haven’t seen Apollo 13 yet then “Houston we have a problem.”

I would say, 3 Idiots. This movie gives the following lessons:
1.We should pursue our career in that profession in which we will achieve best of ourselves.
2.We should love our engineering profession and not dread it and just mug up
the concepts.
3.When we love it,then we are never stressed and only then we can learn it and then we can apply it in any conditions,and the last scene of the movie just pumps my adrenaline when I feel down due to any reason .
4.Friendship is a great blessing above our own benefits.
5.Whatever happens in life say to yourself " ALL IS WELL''.

I think It should be "Interstellar" because it has an amazing imagination which every engineers should have. And it tell us that there are much than what we can see. So always keep your eye open.

**Sadda Adda**

Hi Engineer,
The most relevant movies to all engineers,that is
"Sadda Adda"
Because,
there is a quote about engineer that "All rounder of humanity,who never quite for any horrible tasks-The engineer can do."
**Everything is possible in the world because world is running with lots of possibilities,only there is need to judge them and accept them.**

After doing 4 four years engineering,every engineer think once that 'what next' even he /she/undefined form different disciplines(Computer,mechanical,civil,electronic,electrical,chemical,textile,paint,aeronautical and food etc.) abount other option even some time they are clear about their focus,they think once.

So, in this movies Sadda Adda is a top point for your future to see ,from where you can justify yourself and surely will get a direction.Here in this movie,there are 6 Bachelors came in a metropolitan city Delhi to get their future and finally they get.
Hence,
Finally, It is all about your
1- Decision
2- Passions
3- Self-motivation
4- Hard-work enhancement
5- Be Happy.

Thanks & Regards
Omendra

The movie which every engineer must watch is raghuvaran btech I loved the movie the charecter of the hero is exactly the same how an ordinary engineer will be he tries hard for working on what he studied rather got away with the flow and at last suceeded in life

The Pursuit of Happyness
I liked it because the movie showed tears of frustration ,
then tears of sorrow ,
and finally tears of happiness.
Beautiful movie with a inspiring message.
"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. ... You got a dream, you got to protect it."

I will suggest an Bollywood movie called "Manjhi - The Mountain Man" as because it motivates not only engineers but also other human beings to cut out their way out of the big rock , to face the unknowns and unexpected challenges of life with "True Devotion" and the hell of a "Hard Work."
Though I may not be a winner here which i confidently think but i sincerely request all the non viewers of this movie to watch "Manjhi - The Mountain Man" and just gain the spirit of facing the very hard and big challenges in your life.

Social Network

"Theory of Everything"
is my favorite movie ever.
It is story of Stephen Hawking.
About his efforts to discover something by beating his weaknesses.
An engineer can learn lot from this movie.
Must watch.

Movie: I AM KALAM
ABOUT : I Am Kalam is a film about an underprivileged child who is inspired by India's erstwhile President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and aspires to grow up to be a respectable person like him.
Why : There are no of children who want to study and their dreams also to study new books, school dress etc but due to today educational business they can't study and in this movie also it has been seen that any ordinary child can be a Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

Movie also pay attention on the poor children who works laborious in the ''dhaba,tea shop" etc but they also have their dreams and we have to support them.

Finally I will say I AM KALAM is a lovely inspirational movie which notonly say that we support poor childrean butalso says that a comman man can be a president of india by their hard work.
Thank You

ki and ka............... new way of thinking

From my point of view "the matrix series" & "the social network" are the best movie for engineers to watch. In matrix they had shown very good combination of virtual reality with real life human experience. After watching this movie, at least once we thought that if such things are happened then what will be the future for humans.
In social network they had shown the journey of mark zukerberg. He proved that if you have talent then you can win the world. His story is very inspiring for the youth entrepreneur. He started from scrap and made it huge. We just have to follow our dream.

My vote - is for The Pursuit of Happyness.
It always talks about excellence + passion + attitude = Success

The way Chris puts all his investments into bone density scanners , for making , remaking and selling says a lot about a person's confidence & Passion in his dreams.

The emotional separation from wife,then home puts in a situation or potrays the guy as a complete failure.

The emotional struggle in running from the cab because of no fare,running to get the density machine, leaving away the kid's doll to not to miss the bus add up an extra-ordinary struggle and never give up attitude.

I will always have tears in my eyes while watching the scene where Chris sleeps with his son in the bathroom.

The countless nights where Chris struggles to find a place in chilling winter, working to fix the machine and sell it gives us the confidence on never lose hope.

The stock broker journey, calling countless members getting appointments and finally succeeding will give goose bumps and passion for success.

The way Chris acts,in fact lives in the final episode on getting the congratulations from the firm and the way he runs to his son to share his happiness tells the value of family and how to value an achievement.

On understanding that this is a real story and a real struggle will leave people strong and gives a great confidence on life.

3 Idiots.........

1.Schindler's list (1993)
The film is based on a life of German oskar (businessman)schindler who saved the life of more than thousand of people by employing them in his factories during the second world war .

Interstellar (2014)
It's well picturzed sci-fi film . As per science this film is 99.99% accurate and uses the professors of MIT while shooting the film in making sure of that nothing goes wrong in the concept . In this film a group of members are sent to wormhole in search of a new place for humans . While Murphy travelled into the warmhole he discovered new dimensions .
A must watch movies for engineers
