6. Paterson

Directed by Jim Jarmusch in 2016, Paterson stars Adam Driver as a quiet bus driver named Paterson who lives in Paterson, New Jersey. Yes, it’s all very meta. His days are simple: Driving his route, observing life, and writing poetry in his notebook. The insight? Beauty isn’t always in grand adventures. Sometimes it’s in routine, small details, and fleeting moments. With its calm, thoughtful vibe, the film reminds us that ordinary lives can be quietly extraordinary.
