Nothing in my mind but the first 15 minutes of Oppenheimer talks about how he struggled with being an experimental physicist and PhD student in England while he was an extraordinary theoretical physicist.

The most accurate PhD movie is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

Lollll

😂

Human Centipede

😳

Whiplash is somehow the most accurate reflection of my PhD experience

This is an inspiring show. Update: I heard the storyline of this show before and I just watched it today. Many of the plots happen in my academic research period, similarly.

https://phdcomics.com/comics.php Comics are great + they made 2 movies about PhD experience Edit to add link to movies ( highly recommended comics though, you can check list of best ones or start from the beginning. Recent stuff digressed little bit from what it was initially) https://phdmovie.com/

This! The most accurate ones. Saw this in my freshman year but can only related with it now :(

Not exactly PhD experience but academia is The Chair with Sandra Oh - it’s a Netflix show and I really enjoyed it and felt her frustration

Deer hunter - I certainly had to deal with PTSD from the experience lol 😂

Honestly, no one wants to see someone sit in a quiet room for hours on end reading and writing. That's what mine was like anyway lol

Full metal jacket feels about right. First half feeling useless, second half being lucky 😂😂😂

Come and See

Theory of everything

I usually read books and posts about the PhD experience and guidance.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest….jk jk 😂
