What is your fave Inspirational Movies? (Schindler's List)

[Sage of Sagle]

Rudy - One of those "never quit" stories that my kids can relate to in sports.

[HeleenieWeenie]

Recently was surprised, and gave as a gift: "Champion" story of Danny Trejo.
Actor, recovering AA/NA persona, gives back to the community, children. He was in prison, got into playing bad guy roles in many movies. Has the most 'sinister looking face'. But he cant help that. Rent this movie, Its wonderful.
Comments by his co-actor friends, Steve Buscemi, Val Kilmer, etc. funny humorous commentary interviews.
