How to Inspire Yourself with Movies; Here’s a List of 59 Great Ones!
I’m a writer with a mission to inspire. Some days I’m not. Inspired that is. Some days I have to cultivate it. I received an email the other day from Jon Morrow with a free gift inside. He put together a string of movie clips to help us feel before we sat down to write. And, voila! I was inspired!
I got an idea in my head to post a comment on Facebook. Give me the best inspirational movie you’ve seen, and bonus points if it’s not about football, I said. This was the kind of post you write in one of those moments when you can’t for the life of you remember one inspirational movie to type in the Netflix search box.
I ended up with these 59, from my amazing Facebook friends, and a list that’ll take me more than a minute to watch! No more excuses — inspiration is mine!
Enjoy!
In alphabetical order here are 59 of the best inspirational movies or shows for your viewing pleasure. Yes, there’re some football movies on the list!
