Inspirational movies about working hard/college/taking charge of life?

<p>homeless to harvard made me cry.. not even joking</p>

<p>The Shawshank Redemption is the most inspirational movie I have ever seen. You HAVE to see it!!</p>

<p>Into the Wild - directed by Sean Penn. AMAZING!
Last King of Scotland - not really inspirational in any way, but worth watching.</p>

<p>Also, Persuit of Happiness, American Gangster, Good Will Hunting and also, 21! LOL</p>

<p>Friday.</p>

<p>/thread</p>

<p>Here are the ones I get inspired by</p>

<p>-Slumdog Millionaire
-Pursuit Of Happyness
-Rudy
-Friday Night Lights
-October Sky
-Accepted
-Animal House
-American Pie I, II
-Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle
-Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay</p>

<p>Awww. Rudy is such a cute movie.</p>

<p>Into the Wild is a good answer as well.</p>

<p>Which brings me to say that Milk is a great inspirational movie, too.</p>

<p>American Beauty is also inspirational, in a morbid sort of way, if you focus on Lester's character development.</p>

<p>The Big Lewbowski</p>

<p>Everyone has already mentioned this, but I think Good Will Hunting is the ultimate in working hard/college movies. Plus, you can't go wrong with Damon and Afflek.</p>

<p>Come on guys, You all know Slumdog Millionaire was very inspirational.</p>

<p>watch randy pauschs last lecture. AMAZING</p>

<p>I watched that, and it was quite the saddening experience. He is one of the main reasons I'm still considering Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>I can't believe no one's said Finding Forrester yet. A-mazing. It even has Sean Connery as a J.D. Salinger figure.</p>

<p>Beautiful Mind if you're into math</p>

<p>I also like Groundhog Day</p>

<p>"You're the man now dog!!!" :)</p>

<p>Beautiful Mind was great.</p>

<p>Liked 21 too. </p>

<p>Lol to who ever said The Lion King</p>

<p>Beautiful Mind is my favorite movie of all time.</p>

<p>Pokemon: The First Movie was very inspirational.</p>

<p>^ Oh yes, when all the pokemon were dead and then they came back to life was so inspirational, it made me want to be a better pokemon trainer</p>

<p>Definitly read the last lecture by Randy Pausch then watch his lecture it is so inspriational</p>

<p>21 was amazing in my opinion. :)</p>
