My all-time favorite real-life inspirational movie is Brian's Song! The movie is based on a chapter in Gale Sayers biography I Am Third depicting the special friendship between him and Brian Piccalo, the son of Italian immigrants. What makes their friendship special was the fact that Gale was while Brian was white. They met during their rookie season with the Chicago Bears during the 1960's when segregation was a big part of America south. The movie is a definite must-see! It has everything emotion imaginationable! It'll make you laugh and cry and everything in between.

Most of your picks center around historical retrospectives in which modern day morals can be retroactively applied to past evils or ignorance. Its too easy to look backward with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and judge the people of the past. This is not inspiring to me. Can you choose some films that do not fall back on such an easy tactic of inspiration?

I really love the Christian movies based off real accounts. Wether you believe they actually happened or not, they do make for a thought provoking topic of how far can someone's belief in faith go.
Heaven is For Real, Miracles From Heaven, and The Cabin all made me cry like a baby and I love them.

Honestly seeing this clip in my most truthful opinion it looks like life as it happens and it just shows that hard work, dedication & genuine optimism overcomes any obstacle mental or physical and that in my book is truly inspiring in some way, shape or form in itself.

Schindler's list was one of the most disturbing movies I have ever watched. You knew while watching it that as horrifying as some of the scenes were, it was not even close to the reality that actually happened. In my mind this movie should be a must watch for everyone.

Interesting compilation, though movies often gloss over the hero's flaws. And most of these films are MEN in sports. What about the other Inspiring Stories? What about Awakenings?

I'd move a couple football teams to honorable mention, and put Hidden Figures on the list. Never saw the one a RBG, might look it up one day.

The problem with this list is that all these choices are currently movies. The Stratton Story, The Sound of Music and Exodus were up at the top

Great list, though I would argue Hacksaw Ridge definitely should have earned a spot in the top 5. maybe in a follow-up list!

I saw Remember the Titans at school, and it really spoke to me. I had no idea it was based on a true story until I was told it was.
