These days, it can be easy to feel alone. No matter how we manage our isolation from each other, we spend more time away from others than we did in the routines that abruptly ended.

Over the years, movies have looked for the lessons that we can learn people who face periods of isolation.

Here are seven of my favorites that offer some enriching lessons for today. Enjoy the movies!

  • Rear Window (1954)
  • The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)
  • Cast Away (2000)
  • Wall-E (2008)
  • All is Lost (2013)
  • Gravity (2013)
  • The Martian (2015)
