A list like this'll never be complete, but these ones jump out at me...

• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
• The Apostle
• The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

I forgot to mention Good Will Hunting.
Oh, and if you're an aspiring con-artist such as myself: Catch Me If You Can.

Good Will Hunting is a good one.

Rocky, Feild of Dreams, Phenomenon (combined with Eric Clapton's 'Change the World') are all movies which make me feel I should get off my arse and do more :P

I would have to agree with this one.

OK. Then I choose not, Ripley. What could possibly be inspiring about this flick? Were you loosely interpreting it as "Daredevil inspired me to get up off the couch and hurl the DVD across the room"? If so, yeah, I guess I could see that, and I rescind my "not".

Maybe hes blind you inconsiderate bastard!

btw -- do they have braille (sp?) for the internet yet?
