The Rocky series changed the entire trajectory of my life at the age of 13. I was a sickly asthmatic kid, and after watching them, I went on to lift weights, do mad cardio, and do some amateur boxing. I've left boxing behind, but at the age of 43, I still have a great physique and incredible fitness because Sylvester Stallone inspired me (and still does).

I know the feeling of being bullied. I was also bullied. Speaking of being bullied, you forgot one movie, "My Bodyguard". It was about a boy who was buillied in high school. He hired a bodyguard. The bully hired a bodyguard, in return. Both bodyguards got into a fight. The bodyguard of the bullied boy told the boy to fight and that he could win.

"Rocky" has always been the extreme motivator for a lot of people to presevere and to keep moving forward, no matter what odds or obstacles get in your way. Another great motivational movie is "Cool Runnings". Thanks for the upload.

Watching "The Shawshank Redemption" is like being trapped in a dark tunnel for years and then coming out into the brilliant, beautiful light of day. I wouldn't exactly call it a feel-good flick, but it's always good for watching when I need to feel better. "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin' " is great advice to live by.

Me being a 61 yo I broke into tears just watching the short clips. Reminds me of and reawakens my inherent, limitless drive. That is less frequent in Germany where many (not all) people look more at problems than at solutions. Also what makes me a fan of the USA since me being 10 yo. Thank you so much.

It is also a remake from a movie of the same title (1947) with better actors, Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo. I'm not a fan of Ben Stiller or Kristen Wiig, but that aside, they should have acknowledged the original movie, just as inspiring.

Still isn't better than Remember the Titans. Not even close. Not only did they have to go against what their community was telling these young boys, they had to go against what the grew up being taught, they over came and struggled threw to become one and a unit. The coaches in the movie and in real life did amazing teaching this young men not to see color but heart. There are true historic moments and lessons. There is young men fighting for their lives. It has everything and more in a great movie and even years later after they went and had their own lives they were still bonded and a unit. Nothing beats Remember the Titans. Not a single sports movie tops it.
