Coach Carter and Remember the Titans are two sports movies that usually motivate sports persons where the right message was conveyed that it is important to take part in games rather just winning or loosing the game. It is being the best of your efforts that you resemble such a nice data and shows up great spirit here. I salute to all the list but I think Coach Carter must be in this list as if it is truly based on the story of young school students who ruined up their life and some great moral values. Some other great movies online have also set great examples change persons life in such a dramatic way.

This post made me think of this motivational video montage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=online coupon5hsw). It always gives me a nice little pick me up when I am down at the office. Either way, The Pursuit of Happyness is one of the best motivational films ever overall. It is hard to being tears to my eyes and that one gets me every time.

I completely agree. Movies do have the power to affect us in a profound way. One movie in particular that I find myself constantly defending is Gattaca. Although it is often dismissed as a “Sci-Fi” film, Gattaca transcends the label of science fiction. It is a story about perseverance and the power of the human spirit.

The story is set in the near future where genetic engineering has become the norm. Men and women are created instead of born, and parents are given options as to who they would like their child to be. The main character is what society calls a “God child,” which means he was born naturally without the help of science. He is told early on that he is inferior and would never accomplish his dreams.

I cannot recommend this movie enough. I watch it every time I feel that my work is becoming too strenuous or that I’m being spread too thin, but by then end of it, I’m left with a newfound feeling of tenacity and motivation.

I recently saw Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Dep and used it for career counseling. It is great as it modeled Campbell's Hero's (Heroine's) Journey in a manner that spoke to me of calling and career. The client I used it with found it very helpful as she is returing to school following a plant closure. Another one was Up in the Air with George Clooney, particularly the scene where he asks a displaced worker how much he was paid to give up his dream.

"Blindside" which starred Sandra Bullock
It is based on a true story. Very uplifting.

Also, "Wall Street" starring Michael Douglass, is an older movie (1987), about greed in business. It is a motivational film by showing what doesn't make a satisfying career.

One movie that I find uplifting is “The Other Sister” starring Juliette Lewis (1999) as a young mentally disabled woman who fights for independence and true love. As she tries to find her true identity and brake away from her controlling mother and a pampered, protected life. To her parents surprise she finds a boyfriend, another mentally disabled student who is going through a tough time making it in college and on his own. She goes to college, convinces her parents that she can live on her own and despite her mother’s opposition she marries the man she loves. And she does it all her way.

I am a big fan of stories of true love. Yet, this movie offers so much more. Her struggle to find her own identity and brake away from her families’ influence is something I can relate too. It is the universal struggle for individualism. The movie shows her fight for the things most people take for granted and it reminds you that the simple things are what make you truly happy. My sisters, my mother and I never miss an opportunity to watch this film. It makes you laugh and reminds you that love, no matter in a family, with parents or with a partner is the most important thing in life.

A great many people find music and movies (along with other forms of entertainment) to be inspiring and sustaining. Indeed, most everyone I have ever met has a few favorite songs to uplift them or improve their spirits. I wonder, though: what do these songs do for a person long-term? One of the interesting phenomena related to music is its mood-altering properties. Just as interesting is that most people habituate to particular songs. After so many times around, the song just doesn't offer the same intensity of feeling as it once did. The effect of a particular song or movie tapers off eventually, though some mindfulness may mitigate this to some degree. Moderation, a virtue and practice which is sorely lacking in our society, can make a real difference here. It seems that people who fail to exercise restraint can ruin the inspiration and feelings that accompany their favorite songs by over-doing it.
