Two movies that portray life in a concentration camp but are, IMHO, very inspiring.

Life is Beautiful
A Hiding Place

"It's a Wonderful Life" should be at 100%, but at least it's leading

"Defending Your Life" should be in the top 100. Good flick.

I'll never forget all the good times I had as a child playing with My Dinner with Andre action figures.

"Team America: World Police"

Although, I'm sure the #1 will be "The Communist Manifesto: The Movie"

Among the suggestions: "The Passion of the Christ," "The Sound of Music," "It's a Wonderful Life" and "8 Mile.

THIS is representative of the list? I haven't seen Passion.

I'd rather be crucified myself than watch either "The Sound of Music" or "It's a Wonderful Life" ever again.

Why are AFI's lists so screwed up? Must be the baby-boomer bias.

Most inspiring? That would be Revenge of the Cheerleaders. It inspired me to see every other cheerleader movie.
