What is your favorite Motivational Movie?

I agree that those Rocky movies are also some of the best especially the last movie where he gave his son some really great advice....

I'll second this one. Great Movie.

if you want to have a very different kind of motivational experience watch Black (an Indian Movie). It is a pristine cinematic experience with a brilliant story - that will enrich your life in many ways.

See what others are saying here; Black (2005) - IMDb

I recently watched it after many years, and hope some of you watch it too.

get the one with English sub title though.

"I am" the documentary by Tom Shadyac

I agree with every single one of these (that I've seen).

I'd add "What the Bleep do we Know" to the list - the original, not the "quantum" version.

Definitely the Pursuit of Happyness. Powerful and emotional movie.

That is not a movie.

I like the secret but when it comes to success in business, one must have an effective plan in place to make it.

Most people think that if they just "imagine" success and fast cars, that they will get it.

"Dumb and Dumber"..

When Lloyd and Harry ride into Aspen on their scooter it shows that chasing your dream can come true.

Babylon Ad

The movie "Jackie".
Shows how to persist and win when faced with
daunting challenges.

The pursuit of happyness
the secret

ted talks aren't quite movies but do a great job

I like an old Peter Sellers film called Being There in which a gardener accidentally ends up President - it is brilliant

"Boiler Room" & "Grinder"

The Social Network, Jerry Maguire, The Internship

I wouldn't consider this a "motivational" movie but it definitely is a trip watching!

You're not supposed to talk about it

Happy People.

Motivation embodied in its purest and rawest form.

Wow, reading these replies made me remember a lot of great movies that hadn't come to mind, here's a couple, well three, that I didn't see listed;

Second Hand Lions
Joe Versus the Volcano
What the Bleep Do We Know

I also spent a couple hours in the last couple of weeks going through Youtube checking out motivational videos, sometimes when we aren't being productive and can't figure out why, it's really depression, at least for me that what I realized, I just had to fill up that well of good thought, good energy and I was back to GO!
