Okay, so I cant sleep, and I get to go and show off for the marines in a few hours, so I wanted to know.

What inspirational movies have you seen?

I'm looking for deep movies that dont overplay things.

Movies that I have seen that I'm looking along the lines of.

Gladiator
Lucky Number Sleven
Iron man (hehe)

And I cant remember the name of it, but it was a movie about someone who killed his mother on accident when was young, so his dad put him on medication so he was numb from feeling things.

So, what should I watch now?

I'm looking for more recent movies, like in the past 10 years? Old movies make me cry inside.

Try 'The Butterfly Effect'. Gives a proper look into how your decisions in life changes what happens in the future. Really good film. smile.gif

1986, Meh.


It did look good though on the clip in youtube. But I can find it online, so I'll just have to find another movie to watch.

Re-reading the topic title... the fact that I put Hannibal is a little frightening.

Two points and a cookie for you!

Got any comedies that show boobies to? (Like, American pie 1,2,3,4,5 tongue.gif, Or BeerFest, Or Harold and Kumar)

Still looking for a good inspiration movie, but not one of the overplayed romance movies.

I thought Street Kings was pretty inspirational personally. If you are looking for recent films it might be worth checking that out.
