There's some real clunker's on that list too: I would even argue with TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD so highly rated. SCHLINDER'S LIST? Sure, it's 'inspiring' if you can make it through three hours of wanton slaughter, which I have been able to do just once. Then one of my personal favorite's COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER way down in the seventies.
I don't agree with a lot of the films lsited. But Chariots of Fire did make it, even if it is 100. It was a great film. And I agree with the author here--The Lord of the Rings is a GREAT trilogy!
I'm guessing, that not everyone thinks the same.
Ben-Hur was very religiously themed and had a scene with Jesus. Not a movie ABOUT Jesus, no, but...
Also, The Ten Commandments made the list. At least it isn't an entirely Godless.
Chariots of Fire was #100. Way too low for that movie.
yankee doodle dandy rates almost at the bottom? story of george cohan, great american patriot, who wrote two of the most popular and inspiring patriotic songs, Over There and You're a Grand Old Flag.
I would agree in concept that return of the King is highly inspirational, but the entire Trilogy of LOTR ought to be considered as a whole. There is much to be admired in complete works.

There's a scene in here where the scientist's daughter takes off her shirt and swims in the lagoon while the giant komodo watches from the trees . . . That is filmmaking. I can't take seriously films without such scenes. |
"Thelma and Louise" and "Breaking Away"? You've got to be kidding.
They also left out: Lassie Come Home (1943) and I Remember Mama (1948). Serpico??? Inspiring???
I agree and thank you!!!
