    I can never pick only one, like quite a few of them from your list and others, not listed.

    Ah wow. A ton of great movies listed. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a great Jimmy Stewart film and definitely a top motivational movie.

    Top Motivational Movies
    This list of inspirational movies includes a variety of different story lines. Hope you enjoy them.

    1. PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS- A rages to riches story about a man who goes for his dreams and wont let his circumstances get in the way

    2. REMEMBER THE TITANS- during the 70s the black and white school is closed and they are sent to an integrated school. Through all the racial tension a black coach is chosen to head the newly segregated football team

    3. FOREST GUMP- The story of a man with a low IQ who rose above his challenges, and proved that determination, courage, and love are more important than intellectual ability

    4. THE COLOR PURPLE-Its based on the life and trials and tribulations of an African American woman in the early 1900's

    5. RUDY: About a huge football fan who always wanted to play for the Notre Dame Football team. He is told he is too small for the game but he perseveres on

    Great list! I love this idea! There are so many good motivational books and movies that it is hard to see them all! I keep at least one motivational book in process all the time! You have lots of my favorite movies on your list! Thank you for a super lens!
