The Rookie
Rocky IV

[Carie]

Pay it Forward

[N.Y. Johnny]

Bad Boy Bubby

[SA210]

Field of Dreams
The Rookie
Rocky IV

:tu

[SWC Bonfire]

The most inspirational movie of all time:

Roadhouse. :lol

[angel_luv]

Elizabethtown, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Cinderella Man, and Little Black Book.

It isn't so much that they are classic films, but each came out in a timely fashion and therefore were meaningful.

[T Park]

JErry Mcguire.

Starting his own firm, making millions with a star client.

Getting married to a real woman with a great kid and living in the suburbs.

Who doesn't want that?

:lmao

C'mon...that can't top Footloose! They brought back dancing to the community!

[ShoogarBear]

20K: The Life of Wilt Chamberlain would be the most inspirational if they ever made it.


Diary of a Mad Black Woman,

:wow

:tu

yea, i battled between Rudy and Jerry Maguire as my all time fave.

[Shelly]

After watching The Stepford Wives (the original), I was inspired to become one.

[SA210]

A movie about Manu Ginobili's life would be very inspirational. From childhood, from a poor country and noone played basketball. Won just about all the great awards possible and is still is a humble man.

I thought David Robinson's too, but when i started thinking about all Manu has accomplished, MVP's overseas, Olympic Gold to Argentina, 2 NBA Championships, almost Finals MVP, All Star, and he's still young. Not to mention what he gives back to his people. That would be a great story. I think bigger than Michael Jordans, because Manu has won at all levels around the world. :tu

[MiNuS]

again?

The Count of MonteCristo

[angel_luv]

Diary of a Mad Black Woman:wow






I saw it after coming back from Houston. The people I lived with left me bankrupt emotionally on top of which they robbed me.
I had to let all that go and start over.

And for the record, the Houston folk did me a hige favor. I came here, met all of you and I work with the Spurs. =)
It's all good!

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

And now, a walk off the deep end:

Yeah, you're right. DRob only has multiple Olympic Golds, 2 NBA Championships, multiple All-Stars, and NBA MVP. Occasionally he has been rumored to give back to his people. Probably nothing compared to Manu, I'm sure, but nobody's perfect. Except Manu.


I think bigger than Michael Jordans, because Manu has won at all levels around the world. :tu

That's true. Manu has won at all levels around the world, unlike that Jordan guy.

I'm not taking anything away from those guys. They are great. I think Manu does have a unique story though.

[Summers]

Did we just do this a month or two ago? Anyway, Gandhi.

[SWC Bonfire]

Seriously, I think that we've all been in some situation in life when we asked ourselves, "self, what would Bandit and Snowman do?" It is for exactly that reason that Smokey and the Bandit is the most inspirational movie to most Americans alive today.

[Vashner]

Blackhawk Down, Red Dawn, Rambo III ... hahaha..

[SWC Bonfire]

Red Dawn... Brilliant!

[tlongII]

The Ashlee Simpson Story

[Kdfelicity]

Elizabethtown, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Cinderella Man, and Little Black Book.

It isn't so much that they are classic films, but each came out in a timely fashion and therefore were meaningful.


Inspirational?? Nooooo.

I went on a first date to see Elizabethtown and ended up having to apologize for dragging him to a just plain BAD girly movie.

Little Black Book was just awful.

Love and Basketball, Save the Last Dance, Coach Carter and lastly, Center Stage are all quality inspiration.

Like I said, they were meaningful personally- not because they will go down as over all classics.
I appreciate movies that make me feel as if I am sitting back and watching my own life... ones that bring clarity to my real life experiences.

Elizabethtown impacted me because Claire reminded me of me and Drew's father's funeral was just like my Dad's -all the way down to the blue suit.

Little Black Book was an awful movie overall. However, I had an epiphany when Stacy finally went for the job she always dreamed off.

Proof in point. Two days after renting the movie, I got myself hired to work in the Terrace Club in the SBC Center.
The movie wasn't my sole inspiration, of course. I took it as more of a sign.

I don't know about me,

Little voice: Go on, do it . . .
No, I really can't.
Little voice: Come on . . .
It's too cruel.
Little voice: Weeny . . . coward . . . poosay!
Damn, well . . .

So, you like Bride of Frankenstein?

Little voice: Ohhh, you asshole!
But, but you said . . .

[Shaolin-Style]

The seven samurai
Big fish
A better tomorrow(1/2)
The killer
The Invicible Shaolin
North Shaolin vs South Shaolin

Lots of shaolin stuff I guess. Braveheart/privateryan/rocky all those are fine but i'd rather put out the non-typical stuff.

[2centsworth]

The Killing Fields

[Jimcs50]

Salvador was an inspiring movie too. Oliver Stone's best movie, I think.

[ShoogarBear]

I also would put The Mission up there, too. Both by the same director, kinda depressing yet somehow ultimately uplifting.
