Movies that inspire you... - Blu-ray Forum

yspkrk · 02-26-2008, 06:58 PM

Last night I watched "The Pursuit of Happyness", which seems very underated. I'd bought it based on good reviews but thought it could be boring. But I was wrong! The movie is actually the best I've ever seen in blu!

I was so inspired and actually learned soemthing great. The film is very absorbing and Will Smith did an excellent acting. The PQ/AQ was also more than great. Don't miss this great film!

Please list movies with "why" that are thought-provoking and inspiring to you.

Very good movie but it made me feel like a bum after watching it.

Rudy never fails to inspire me. I have watched Rudy at least 30 or 40 times and it never gets old.

Also, Hoosiers has much the same effect as Rudy. I am from Indiana, and absolutely love sports, so those 2 movies really inspire me to try as hard as I can when I feel like giving up.

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.

I have a soft spot for psittacines.

Invincible

a lot of WWII movies

Not a Blu but Murderball not only makes me feel like an out of shape looser but a whinny little byatch about my lame problems.

Can't think of any others at the moment.
