Inspirational films, anyone got a favourite?
Mine is "Rudy", based on the life of "Rudy" Ruttiger, a young man who persevered with a dream that others said he couldn't fulfill - until he did.

Wasp, winner of Best Short Film at the 2005 Oscars (as well as countless other international awards). If ever there was a film that taught you not judge a book by its cover it is this one.

Re: Inspirational films, anyone got a favourite?
Bit different from the preceeding posts, and I'm not really inspired by films, more a books or music person, but the one that always has the biggest effect on me is The Wall. by Pink Floyd - thought provoking for me on several levels; what shaped his mind, what makes him lose the plot, episodes in his past etc - and what happens if you brick yourself in behind a Wall of your own making.
