I would add Blind Side to that list as well. I felt it was one of the best movies in the last decade. Very inspiring.

Mostly sports movies fit that description for me:
Miracle
Invincible
For Love of the Game
Invictus
The Express

For some reason, Finding Neverland is popping into my head, and I don't really know that I would call it inspirational, but it sure is good!

There's a sequel to Butterfly Effect?!

I LOVE The Freedom Writers. Just saw it the other day. I also watch Remember the Titans every time it comes on. There's another whose name escapes me, but it's the true story of a young man with Tourette's Syndrome who wanted to be a teacher and applied at 30 schools till he finally got a job.
