Most inspiring movie you have seen.

What’s the most inspiring movie you’ve ever seen.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

So very many, not sure where to begin.
Just as in books, I'd have to say The Grapes of Wrath.

Departures

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I can't name just one movie. Some of these would not be considered inspiring at all by most people, but each of them had a way of inspiring me. My favorite movie of all time is in bold.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Spencer Tracy, 1941
The Trip To Bountiful - Geraldine Page, 1985
The Doctor - William Hurt, 1991
Leaving Las Vegas - Nicolas Cage, 1995
The Straight Story - Richard Farnsworth, 1999
The Family Man - Nicolas Cage, 2000
The Mountain Between Us - Kate Winslet, 2017

There have been many but the most recent was Nyad. The story about Diane Nyad and how she finally reached her goal/dream of swimming from Havana to Key West at the age of 64.

@MACKTEXAS, We enjoy some of the same movies: The Doctor, Leaving Las Vegas and Family Man.

Given that, I tried to find, The Mountain Between Us as I am a Kate Winslet fan, but alas, it is not currently playing on any platforms I use.

I'll have to wait. Thank you for mentioning it; I hadn't heard about it, previous.

Hate that movie, @Paladin1950. HATE!

There are movies I have really loved, but I'm not sure if I was inspired by any of them. I must think....

My Trip to Bountiful made me almost psychotic. I made my kids promise me they wouldn't ever let that happen to me (altho now I don't even recall exactly what that was).

How could you hate 2001? I loved it, saw it several times, always stoned. You might want to try that.

"Hidden Figures" - 2016, inspirational on so many levels.

I saw The Mountain Between Us at the theater when it came out. I wish I owned it, but no. Would like to see it again.

I've smoked, I've tripped, saw the movie several times, and I HATE IT!

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Oh and “Chariots of Fire”!

Godzilla. The First One

Forget the movie - - -just fill us in with more detail regarding the "smoked and tripped". - - - - -

 

[Paladin1950]

Godzilla. The First One

Hate that movie. Hate! Even Raymond Burr couldn't save the American version.
Now 2001: a space odyssey, that's science fiction the way it's supposed to be. Not a Japanese stunt man walking around in a monster costume!

 

[chic]

Rocky. I feel stupid for even mentioning this one but it did help me one time to get really fit and stay that way which helped me in many aspects of life.

Otherwise, I found a Night to Remember most inspiring. It was about the night the Titanic sank and the heroes who were on board many of them helping others survive. I thought it was better than Titanic because it was factual, not a romantic fantasy set against the backdrop of an ocean liner sinking.

 

[ChiroDoc]

First one that comes to mind: La Dolce Vita (1960).
I saw it in 1962 when I was 18. It inspired me to be more free wheeling, and to rebel against conformity.

I'm with Pepper! But Godzilla - gotta pass on that recommend, right up there with 'Reefer Madness'.

I agree with you. Very inspiring!

Up - 2009

Revisited this movie when I hit '70.
Had more meaning as I got older.

I need a movie that starts with a good story, then they can fill it in with visual treats.
This one filled both, Great story and visually inspired.
