saving private ryan wasn't very good. ikiru was way more inspiring than anything on that list.

[jman3000]

Kindergarten Cop

"Don't talk to strangers"

[Trainwreck2100]

Ikiru would defeat the purpose of the A in AFI

[ShoogarBear]

[atxrocker]

[atxrocker]

thanks, train. that was awesome.

[shyne]

Cinderalla Man should have been there.

[atxrocker]

^great mention. that was a very good movie. i would imagine it inspired more than Karate Kid did... though pt II did have elizabeth shue who is hot

[johngateswhiteley]

...i love that they have Breaking Away on that list, and absolute classic! Prefontane, though not as good, was also inspiring. and of course whomever listed Braveheart.....i just love that movie. i know there are some facts off and it is not the most inspiring....but damn i loved it.

If you didnt cry at "Its a wonderfull Life" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" you have no soul.

"Stand up scout, your father is passin"

omg...

Like Melissa Ethridge said,

"It teaches you what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, no matter if the whole town is against you."


The character of Atticus Finch, is one of the best, in the history of literary, or film wise, of all time.

[Trainwreck2100]

Did you just ing quote Mellissa Ethridge.

[T Park]

She was commenting on the movies.

She was right.

and yes, I just did " ing" quote her.


Got a problem with gays do you?

[Jekka]

Chocolat inspired me to eat chocolate.

I have nothing against gays that would apply to this conversation, but I'm pretty sure any male who quotes Mellisa Ethridge needs to have his manhood revoked.

This coming from a guy that had Pokemon as his avatar.

She was on the show and said this.
