Some of these movies are not what I would call inspirational, not that they aren't good, just not what I would call inspirational.

What about Creature From the Black Lagoon? Saw it when I was 8 or 9 and it INSPIRED me to not watch scary movies ever again.

I don't always agree with the choices either, but these contests are always a pleasure to watch, if for nothing else than the clips from some of these great movies. Although there were some more recent flicks on this list, most of the ones on the list go back to the day when Hollywood had some fresh ideas and made quality pictures. Inferior product was usually considered a "B" movie, Today, the old "B" movies of yesteryear are better than some of the "A" rated slop out there now.

No Gattaca? That movie fits the theme much better than many of these.

At least A Beautiful Mind (barely) made it. Schizophrenic mathematicians need inspiration too.

Why isn't Red Dawn in the list?

ET-I'm probably one of three people over 40 in America who has not seen that movie. My mother tried to make me watch it with my kids several times, even once a few years ago and she gets real upset when I refuse.

What gives? How could they have left out Shaving Ryan's Privates? That's a classic.
