which movies have most inspired you?

[mylife]

One of my all time FAVORITE FILMS is The Man Who Would Be King

[central_va]

The movie that depicted 911 as a dastardly attack by fundamentalist murderous muzzies and the heroic efforts of average to overcome and save lives on that frightful day. Oh wait nobody ever made a movie like that, never-mind.

The Man Who Would Be King

[Inyo-Mono]

True Grit (1969) with John Wayne and Tombstone (1993).

[varina davis]

Oh yes, and Tombstone, an all time favorite!

[Ladysmith]

LOL. One of my “weird movies” I brought over for others to watch one night. Fun listening to their reactions to some of the scenes. It held their attention right to the end.

[mylife]

There are a bunch of film titles I have never seen
Ive seen
Grapes of Wrath

Braveheart

Patriot

The Birds and
Gone with the wind

one of my fave Hitchcock films is “Suspicion”

[mylife]

It is an odd film but, it is riveting.

One of my cult classics is Repo Man

[Dysart]

Adding:

Rocky

Of Mice And Men

In The Line Of Fire

Old Yeller

Jim Robinson: Portrait Of A Patriot (Yet to be released)

[righttackle44]

That’s a Mel Gibson movie, Payback. The hooker with the golden heart is Mario Bello. One of the crooks who croak is Kris Kristofferson. It doesn’t inspire me, though.

[righttackle44]

The Fountainhead depressed me. Probably shouldn’t recommend it to ex-postal workers.

Otto reaches the limit.. Repo Man

[donna]

The Passion of the Christ is more than a movie. The second time I saw it was harder than the first time. A third time would take some guts.

[freepertoo]

Without a doubt, the original Rocky. I loved it on first release and was inspired throughout my life to keep trying, no matter the odds. When I turned 52, I became a fitness trainer...again, because the film so inspired me. Great character, great movie, great message.

[rodguy911]

The Fountainhead,Heat great flicks.

[blueunicorn6]

Any Japanese Godzilla movie. The tender story of a large lizard destroying cities because his father didn’t play catch with him.

[Clock King]

Ben Hur

[steelyourfaith]

The Fountainhead, Sgt. York, The Quiet Man, Braveheart.

I like all of those a lot, and a few others like High Noon & Shane, etc. In particular, for me, though it was "The Fountainhead" which I chanced to read at a particular point in my career when I was struggling with whether to follow my dream, or cave to external trending pressures. I did the Howard Roark thing and am thankful.
