one of the MOST inspiring movies i have ever seen...

"The Shawshank Redemption"

my picks:

1) Chariots of Fire
2) Escape to Victory

Jerry Macguire surely is a gr8 inspirational... giving pointers to the management world too :D

Others from which I seek inspiration r -
Gladiator
The Last Samurai
Men of Honour
JJWS

I would say, instead of going for serious inspiring movies, or the masala stuff, it is best to see a simple but wonderful comedy....something like Rush Hour. Then there won't be any major distraction of the mind.

Just watched "Jeerry Maguire" and thought it would fit perfectly in the list of Inspiring movies. How a man fights on against all odds to emerge triumphant. Cruise has acted wonderfully.

Other movies in the similar category are

Erin Brockovich
Philadelphia
A Beautiful Mind.

Cheerio

mmm.....Men of Honour...was inspiring and then..
believe it or not...."Ramana"...( "Tagore" in Gult) was inspiring

hs nebody seen the movie in which the tribal's of a village called winabi win a basketball game agianst all odds...i dont rem the name of the movie but it was very inspiring....must see bfor cat but if only some1 rembrs the name....

hey..i've seen that one...a white guy teaches the tribals basketball so that they can win their land back...pretty good movie...
dont remember the name though :)

isnt it a Ben Stiller movie? truely inspiring. a must-see for all those who're feelin down.

well well ...u ppl seem 2 b forgetting "remember the titans' wen denzel washington converts a bunch of rookies into match winners or "the replacements" (gene hackman ,keanu reeves) where all sort of ppl( convicts,ex players,cop) come together and form a champ team.

in india well i found lakshya very inspiring especially that scene when most indian soldiers have died and hritik is talking to priety pointing to the mount they were to capture.lagaan is also pretty moving .

ps: has neone watched "space jam"(michael jordan)? toon stars beat devils frm across the galaxy.

hey jus try out dis japanese anime series-"Naruto"....dat guy never gives up n can b very inspirational n dat too widout taxing ur brains much....but its time taking....as for movies:-
1.Braveheart....d best i have ever seen.
2.Lakshya....only d name sounds inspiring :P
3.Gadar....however high r d odds against u ....u can still win

I guess "The Matrix" would be my nomination for this anyday!
esp. before CAT

And do have a good dream the night before

Inspirational movies?

Well, I like

Castaway
Beautiful Mind
American History X - determination/introspection types
7 years in Tibet - can do it types
Enemy at the gate and No mans land - to an extent

Tom Cruise's "Few Good Men" is an awesome movie. I'd like to watch it on 20th.

Gym lovers....If u get ur hands on the preparation video for mr.olympia 2002
watch it ...u can see kevin levrone(Mr.Olympia top 5) psyching himself before doing his shoulder press ..also Ronnnie coleman (Mr.Olympia 7 times) bench press 400 lbs like a feather..u should see these champs psyching up before they train...they train real hard....inspires one to put more efforts..Pumping iron

its not an inspiring one but the best movie i have seen this year

"forest gump"

and watch it for a peaceful mind

....n mik..ANdaz APNa Apna....TiTaNiC....???? TITANIC SHIP KA END KYA HUA THA....???
...
or wots say about arindham dada's "rok sako to tok lo" ..apt title for a cat aspirant...

hey dat was on a lighter note...
leo aimed for kate....he got it...ab ship ne daga diya
vaise we can aim for best...CAT daga(leak) de to hum kya kare....

AIM FOR THE BEST......u'll achieve it

with rocky & "rok sako to rok lo"....it shud be "rock lago to rock lo"

werent the comparisons pathetic?? i know it ;-)

mik

im definitely gonna watch MIRACLE.
its a fairly recent movies(feb 2004 release)
about the great MIRACLE ON ICE...US ice hockey team, thorough no hopers coming up and defeating the mighty soviets in the 1980 olympic finals
great action sequences and will charge u up for sure.....

Go for

Jaane Bhi do Yaaron
Andaz Apna Apna
Bowfinger
As good as it gets
(A) Beautiful Mind

What about Lagan

yipeee,,,so many rocky fans...i have seen rocky so many times and its awesome..specially rocky 4...reminds me that ivan drago is more like CAT..invincible and dangerous yet defeatable

So many rocky fans arnd in forum...great....but i dont think that these movies hv tht much spice left now... i have seen rocky series so many times tht it'll turn out to b boring(no offence to rocky fans)....n mik..ANdaz APNa Apna....TiTaNiC....???? TITANIC SHIP KA END KYA HUA THA....???

Guys I would suggest that you should see "A Beautiful Mind".

It would motivate you like anything...

Rocky 3 is the one u should be watching...
hear appollo creed telling abt the "Eye of the tiger !"
it is in this part that rocky was ever knocked out ..and it was because of a more determined Clubber lang...and this makes him train harder than before.. I love this part more than the others of the rocky series.

the training part of rocky 4 would be boosting ur spirits even more..
where he fights the steroid pumped deadly russian Ivan drago
myself a rocky fan,
whenever i fail to get wht i wanted ..just think abt this situation in rocky 5 when Rocky says to tommy after he gets knocked down by tommy gunn

"Hey, yo Tommy, I didn't hear no bell."-Rocky -"one more round"
then rocky knocks down tommy like a champ

I watch Fight Club. Weird huh ?
- Else you can try out Top Gun. esp the scenes that follow Goose's death
- LOTR - The Two Towers for Helm's Deep
- A Few Good Men

Andaz Apna Apna,TITANIC

In these movie,even the dumbos get cherries kiddding...

nice funny movie....u'll be all relaxed after watching the same...

inspiring movies ka apun ko jyada malum nahi
