List of the Best Inspirational and Motivational Movies of All Time
You will find the best movies that inspire, motivate, and help teach us life's lessons. The following films have stood the test of time with their ability to enliven us to make all our dreams, however daunting, a reality. You will find movies from Akeelah and the Bee to The Pursuit of Happyness to Pay It Forward .
For me, I love watching a rags to riches story, good hearted story, or someone truly using their gifts to benefit all. Feel free to add to this list or post it in the guestbook and I will add it. We may not agree that all of these are "motivational" but the best will rise to the top.

- A very nice selection! Have still not seen The Secret or The Astronaut Farmer or Akeelah -- and some others that I did not even know to be motivational movies. The Peaceful Warrior was very good as was What The Bleep and others that I've seen from your collection. ...Long time, no see! Hope you are doing well.
