What are some of your favorite inspirational movies?

Scott Pilgrim VS the World. I’m being dead friggin’ serious.

@Joker94 I believe you. Love that movie. =)

The documentary Dear Francis is the first one to come to mind. Here is the trailer, but unfortunately, it doesn’t touch on what these two US college students accomplished by educating the Swaziland youth on sex education and STDs. It’s a powerful movie that makes me feel ashamed for whining about the petty things in my easy life.

I’ve always loved Remember the Titans and October Skye

Dead Poets Society

@tranquilsea I like Remember the Titans too!

The Blind Side

Leaving Las Vegas and and Requium for a Dream—better living through chemistry.

“Alive” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106246/

@Only138 there is no fuckin’ ice cream in your fuckin’ future

Awakenings
Lorenzo’s Oil
The Color Purple

If I were to think of that, Rudy comes to mind, as well as Iron Will.

“Tokyo Story” (1953).

I also like “Schindler’s List”.

Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias

Finding Forrester. One of Sean Connery’s best roles I think. Rob Brown was very good in it also.

Contact.

@Mariah I love Contact. One of my all time favorites.

@Zen My Left Foot is a top-notch movie
@Russell_D_SpacePoet I have to agree,Finding Forrester is wonderful and Sean Connery certainly gives a superb performance.

@Joker94 Fuck yeah. It makes no sense and is totally unrealistic, but they’re real people with real feelings. I love that movie to death. And Kim fuckin rocks. :)

@Only138 Aye aye dear. When I die, I hope to go in that movie’s world.

I recently saw the documentary Marwencol. The guy in it is unbelievable. He overcame so much. It’s the most inspirational thing I’ve seen in a long time, I highly recommend it.

As for non-documentary movies. I would have to go with American Beauty and Into the Wild. Hands down. They are life changing.

Jaws, it inspired me to never go in the fucking water again!!
Actually that’s not true, where I live the water’s so cold even the fish wear cardigans.

City of Angels

Rain Man

The Blind Side
Out of Africa
Shirley Valentine
Paradise Road
Cactus Flower
The Scarlet and the Black
Jezebel
