FabSwingers.com forum: Most inspiring film you're watched?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I'm now feeling rather inspired after watching "The Worlds Fastest Indian" on Netflix.

It's a great film showing that no matter how old you are and no matter what the odds against you are, you should always follow your dreams. It's my "go to" movie when I feel like life is dragging me down.

So as the subject says, what's the most inspiring movie you've seen and why?

Beautiful mind, because he overcomes a lot!

Wolf of Wall Street - Jordan Belfort is fascinating and I admire his drive and confidence. His seminars motivate me.

Senna is certainly one of my top 5 films. The only film that made me cry. It's that scene at the end where the helicopter just hovers over Senna as his life ebbs away in the car that gets me. The greatest Formula 1 driver ever!

Many of my favourites are already listed but if I can add two more?

The Searchers....not a John Wayne fan but the story of a relentless chase, hatred and finally forgiveness....Josey Wales but 20 years prior.

The Illusionist. Norton is brilliant. Sewell plays the pantomime villain to perfection. The atmosphere and the final twist are perfectly balanced. Should have won a hatful of Oscars

That was a weird ending to the film, as people left the cinema everyone was quiet as if they had just left an actual funeral.

Schindlers list,

the flying Scotsman

road, Joey Dunlop story,

12 years a slave,

To name but a few
