I didn’t like High Noon - replace with Rio Bravo. A sheriff shouldn’t run from trouble.

Wow, never saw that quote from Capra. He just went up 10x in my eyes...and he was already high up there. Thanks for posting that!

Bridge on the River Kwai inspiring??? With James Donald shouting “Madness! Madness!” At its conclusion. A great movie, but inspiring??? If they had said Bridges of Toko-ri, yeah... “ where do we get such men?” Now Marcelino, not on the list, that was inspiring

I rewatched “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” a couple months ago. It is so apropos for our times.

Glad to see Jimmy Stewart twice on the list — the only star on there two times.

Toko-ri reminds me of my time in Japan.

I actually saw the filming of the Library scene for “Breaking Away” while walking across the IU campus with my cousin. I thought to myself “Who would want to watch a movie about IU? This will be a really dumb movie.”

It is one of my all time favorite movies.

The Kendrick Brother’s film ‘Facing The Giants’ is also an excellent film for inspiration.

A great inspiring movie is “My All-American”. It’s on NetFlix. You won’t regret watching it.

and how could they leave out “Brian Song”.

Astounding that neither “Zulu” nor “13 Hours” made the list.

Those are good ones...

Of course ‘Inspirational’ to Me
is the song,
Singing in the Rain.

By Frank Sinatra as portrayed in

‘CLOCKWORK ORANGE!’

“Casino”? You’re recommending the Robert DeNiro movie?
