Inspirational Movies
Just about all of the most successful movies in recent years have been inspirational movies at some level; able to motivate the audience and get us to think beyond the story. I think for many of us, and perhaps especially those browsing a web site like this, long after the special effects and the beauty of the actors and actresses are forgotten, it is the message of hope that a movie instills in us that is remembered most vividly. At times a movie may be so inspiring that it brings about a change in the lifestyle of a viewer. I have met more than one person who has been attracted to a career as a teacher after watching Dead Poet's Society. Come to think of it, one can't help but wonder how many millions of people Robin Williams has motivated through his catalogue of uplifting movies.
