Pursuit of Happiness

Under the Tuscan Sun

 

[hiwaygal]

October Sky

Second Hand Lions

"Ever After"- a bold retelling of Cinderella.

Like all of these...and I now realize just how immature (or Disneyfied ) I can be. My current favorite inspirational movie is Meet the Robinsons. (Keep moving forward!)

Dead Poets Society is a great one.

And on a slightly different path but

G.I Jane (it inspires me anyway )

August Rush is on HBO right now. The story is quite implausable, but still inspiring.

I liked P.S. I Love You. As an artist, watching Hilary create designs, with stuff all over her bed, is exactly how I create as an artist. It's inspiring to see a fellow artist do that.

I Remember Mama

It's a wonderfully touching, inspirational movie from 1948.

Yes, that is a good movie. A little slow for today's audiences, but the message of creating emotional security for the kids, in today's troubled financial times, is timely.

I Am Sam
The Notebook

I ALWAYS cry at the ending. I was so in love with Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke in that movie.
