I was wondering if any one else ever gets inspired by movies. Whether it is watching, "The Notebook" and rediscovering love or watching a political film and wanting to do your part to help. What inspires you?

I watch movies primarily for entertainment. But often, a good movie like Taken prods us to react. So we try to do our part, if we can. As to romances, I am a certified fan. The notebook ought to be timeless. Hope it becomes every young person's model for true love, minus the craggy decisions.

The movie that I loved and I thought was very inspirational. And makes me feel good every time I have watched it and I have watched it a lot is August Rush. That movie was just awesome.

Oh, your making me cry just thinking about that movie. It was truly magic, wasn't it? Which reminds me of another movie, "The Soloist." If you have not seen it, you really must. It was so good. Also if you love Jamie Foxx like I do you have to watch "Ray" also.

LOL, you are talking to A GIANT Robert Downey Jr fan here. I saw that movie the first week it came out... :) It was great too. I blackmailed my 16 year old brother into going with me to the theater and he even admitted he liked it. But there is just something about August Rush.. I would like a sequel. I want to hear more of the story, I want to see what happened next- :)

This is a good discussion and I am sure that a lot of people watch movies and enjoy watching them because they are a good source of enjoyment,and I know that different people have different types of movies that they like to watch,and I am sure that different people have different opinions when it comes to whether movies inspire them or not,and when it comes to me I think movies can be inspirational and I have seen several movies about people who do amazing things that have inspired me to want to do amazing things and help people whenever I can,and I think more people should try to help each other,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Hmmm..many movies inspire me, Big Fish and Benjamin Button definitely inspires me to live a life. In Big Fish, I was touched by father-son affection which makes me reflect about my relationship with my dad. In Ben Button, I touched by how short life is and about human journey from old to young or vic versa (by Kate's character). It just made me appreciate life more than before.

Ohhh, you're so lucky to be raised there! I thought many parts of the movies are made in studio since it all looked so dreamy and colorful. Yeah, Big Fish is a masterpiece, it's truly one of the most underrated movie from Tim Burton.

Yes, Big Fish! I love that movie so much. It made me reflect so much on my childhood. I grew up there in Wetumpka which is where a lot of it was filmed. That bridge, the Bibb Graves bridge. I have spent so many hours on that bridge just watching the Coosa River. It reminds me to never take your childhood for granted cause hey we only have one.

obviously everyone gets inspired by one or the other movie........ well in my case i love the movies "cinderella man" and "pursuits of happiness" ........... they guys really struggle for a living ........ tears rolled in my eyes when i saw these movies........ and a korean movie "my sassy girl" is also an awesome movie ...... the acting was awesome and he really showed love in a very bright angle.

"The Pursuit of happiness," was so wonderful. I can relate to that movie so much. It is like you can take the easy road and just settle and get any old job and get stuck in it, because yes you need that money and you will live paycheck to paycheck or you can really go for it. I cried so much watching that movie. Not just because it was obviously sad and the struggle was so hard. But having been down and out and desperate, I have so been there. The struggle of having to lug around what you can manage to of value just so you can sell it and keep your child fed. I have been there. Movies like this restore my faith in God so much.

There's an Indian Movie called Guru that inspired me to work hard to achieve my dreams. It's about a man who had nothing but intelligence. He used it to work his way to the top of entrepenuers. That's what I'd like to do. I'd like to think I can be just as motivated as him cause atleast I have opportunities its just a matter of reaching out to them.
