There are quite a lot of inspirational movies out there that somehow affected how you live your life day by day. It could be principle or even ideas. Or most of the time, these are movies that uplift your spirits. Are there any that has really touched your lives? Mine would be Bedazzled. It really was at the turning point in my life when I learned to really value happiness and how we live our lives to the fullest. There's also Bruce Almighty. We face challenges that could break us a part. A true test of character and faith. Made me stay stronger as I can be.

Wow I just have so many and can relate to your Bruce Almighty and Bedazzled, they are two movies I have in my collection. Firtly I would say that Michael is a great one for me, also Forrest Gump and The Green Mile. Oh just so many but Forrest Gump is very inspirational and shows that anyone can achieve anything if they put their mind to it eh! Ellie :D

Yeah, "life is like a box of chocolate.. you never know what you're gonna get". It's one of the most unforgettable lines in movies. He was just a simple man but he made a difference. I haven't watched the green mile though but I think my sister has a dvd of it. Thanks Ellie!

hi zero! i didn't know Bedazzled was an inspirational movie! i thought it was only a comedy movie. ^__^;; but i wasn't able to watch it in the past so i couldn't really say what kind of movie it is. Bruce Almighty was a funny movie and yeah, inspiring. i always enjoy watching Jim Carrey. in my case, Forrest Gump was one movie that really touched me. Tom Hanks was brilliant there and the story was really good. it has a lot of wisdom and the movie effectively relayed it to the audience. it was a very inspiring movie. you'd be awed over a person who has a disability but it didn't stop him from achieving a lot of things. he always did his best even though a lot of people mocked him. it was truly inspirational.

Hey there! Sorry for the late response. Was out for almost a week. Yeah, Forrest Gump is one of the best movies of all time. Yeah, Tom portrayed the character well and the way it was presented was stunning. I'll watch it again later. Run zero run! Take care!

I like Bruce Almighty also. Well, I love watching inspirational movies. I like to be moved and touched by those works of art. With it, I feel more motivated to work honestly. Anyway, I prefer Schindler's List, and Pay it Forward. Those two movies really left some good marks in my heart.

Hi nengs! Yeah, I really watch them when I feel down. It does lift your spirits up. Those were good movies. Pay it forward has a good concept. I can still remember the pyramid. I started to really imagine what a nice place it would be if we pass a long a good deed. Thanks!

Some inspirational movies that moved me are: 1. Bruce Almighty- although Evan was moving also, I prefer Bruce more. 2. P.S. I Love You- this is not really what you'll call inspirational but it is for me. It moved me and inspired me and made me realize how important love and living life is. 3. The Bucket List- live life to the fullest. This is all I can think of right now. Some movies that moved me aren't really at all inspirational so I don't think I'll include them.

Hey Mara! Nice to see you again. Yeah, I preferred Bruce more than Evan as well. Uhm.. I may be having memory gap because of lack of sleep. PS I love you is local right? Thanks for sharing this. It's the first time I've heard of The Bucket List though. See 'ya around.

I like watching movies a lot. And yes most of them becomes part of either my principles or my life as a whole. Recently, I'd say The Pursuit of Happyness is very inspiring and again motivational.

Yeah, bedazzled although it was comedy, it has good point in the end and pretty inspiring the moral lesson that the movies has. Really great movie not to mention quite funny. However, the movie that inspired me is pursuit of happiness. Really great story, quite inspiring too. I am inspired by their dialogues and also admired Will Smith there. It quite showed that even though it will be hard to attain your dreams, but if you just do it with determination and great will, you'll truly reached it in no time. Love one of the lines that will smith said to his child there "If you got a dream, protect it, nobody can take that away from you" After I watched this film, it truly give me courage and strength to face challenges in my life.

That's right kylie. Pursuit of Happyness. It's great film and it really depicts what happen in real life. Life is tough, life isn't fair most of the time, but nobody can take away what we are and what we can do. Truly inspirational.
