You can take a poll, too.

Which move is the most inspiring?

[thefactor]

hoosiers

[InvisibleChurch]

seems like the afi is caught up on their now-monthly lists of all the same movies only re:arranged in a new order to fit the category

[Arthur McGowan]

Babette's Feast
The Royal Tenenbaums
About Schmidt
It's a Wonderful Life
The Search
Key Largo
Vertigo
Spite Marriage
On Borrowed Time

[Sofa King]

"Team America: World Police"

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

[newzjunkey]

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.

Phil Spectors hair.....

ZULU!

[newzjunkey]

HA! I just looked at the ballot... OF COURSE they'd have "All The President's Men" on there. It's the Democrat playbook for when they're out of the White House.

[Horatio Gates]

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo

[ditto h]

Plan 9 from outer space.

[feedback doctor]

Personal inspiration: (just a few)

Rudy
The Rookie (the recent one with Dennis Quaid)
Chariots of Fire
The Defections of Simas Kudirka
The Passion of the Christ
Cinderella Man
Marty (1950s w/ Ernest Borgnine)

[MediaMole]

Gotta say "Brown Bunny"

It gives inspiration to every geek, since it proves that no matter how incompetant, ugly, filthy, drug-addled or abusive you may be, if you say, "I'm a movie director," starlets will do "anything" to get in your movie.

[WillamShakespeare]

Here is one of my most inspiring movies...

[MineralMan]

Uh, Porky's, of course.

[AF_Blue]

Back To The Future

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious sh!t."

"One point twenty-one jiggawatts !!!"

"Like I've always told you, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."

... and I share the name of the main character, and I, like Dave, used to be a professional Whopper flopper.

[Mike Darancette]

Glory
Goodbye Mr. Chips

[bert]

I looked for Song of the South but it wasn't there.

Uncle Remus and Zippadee doo dah are inspiring.

[mdmathis6]

Plan 9 from Outer Space!

[Jane Austen]

Braveheart
The Passion of Christ
Because of Winn Dixie
Hoosiers
Miracle
It's a Wonderful Life
Song of Bernadette

[cyclotic]

Monty Python and The Holy Grail
The Jerk
Spaceballs

Seriously, It's a Wonderful Life has to be the overall champion.

Red Dawn is a great inspiration as well to never surrender.
