@cathm The Blindside... 😭 everytime.

[WendyB]

@LizFitbit  I forgot about Blindside. Makes me 😭 too

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Gene Wilder version. I get so inspired every time I see this movie!

[KateFitbit]

@cathm what a good post! For me, a great inspirational movie always leads to a good cry. These always have me in tears: 

Rudy (the moment he's let in the game) 

My Left Foot (when he writes Mother in chalk)

Dead Poet's Society (the desk scene)

Schindler's List (when Schindler breaks down about how he could have saved more. It's a tough film, but the message that humanity can prevail through absolute horror is uplifting)

A lot of great movies listed here @cathm.  One that came to mind for me is The Way with Martin Sheen.  It’s a bit older and not well known so I’ve added a link.

For me, it's any type of musical!  But one I watch every year and has become my favorite movie to watch on Christmas Eve is "Love Actually"!

Cool runnings. The jamaican bob sled team. Best movie about overcoming ever.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have never seen the one with Johnny Depp. Some things are just sacred.

[DavideFitbit]

It's a great movie, @lifecoachsophia! The new one definitely has a different vibe, but I've always preferred the original. 🍫🍫
