“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty inspires me to be brave, to venture out of my comfort zones. One year ago I reluctantly agreed to volunteer for my church. Now I am involved in several ministries and more importantly have made life-changing friendships because of my decision to step out of my comfort zone.” Albert from Santa Barbara, USA Secret Life, The Secret, Film Recommendations, Life Of Walter Mitty, Save My Life, Life Changing, Comfort Zone, Santa Barbara, People Around The World

"My film recommendation is Temple Grandin. There is a specific scene in the movie whereby her mother will not give up on her daughter even though she is told otherwise by educators and doctors. Temple’s ultimate success in her life is also a personal triumph for her Mom. As a parent with not so ‘perfect’ kids – I can be inspired by this scene and will tell myself and my wife to be resolved and resilient in believing in our children.” Robert from Toronto, Canada Temple Grandin, Toronto Canada, I Am Happy, Doctors, Children

“Without a doubt my favourite movie is the Oscar winning, Life Is Beautiful. To be able to take a subject as dark as the Holocaust and make me laugh caught me off guard and taught me a valuable lesson… to find humour in life's challenging moments as a way to cope and get through them. Shortly after watching the movie, as I was being wheeled into surgery due to Crohns Disease, I laughed away and told the surgeons and nurses that ‘life is beautiful!’” Alan from Toronto, Canada Crohns, Nurses, Life Is Beautiful

“The movie The Rookie has been an inspiration to me. The theme of the movie is that it is never too late to believe in your dreams. At the time that I saw The Rookie, I had just been through treatment for throat cancer and faced being laid off from my job of 6 years. Seeing The Rookie confirmed my resolve and my deep passion to get back on my feet so I could help others to succeed in their goals and ultimately to live a successful life.” Phil from Minneapolis-St.Paul, USA Never Too Late, I Saw, Minneapolis, Helping Others

“Les Misérables is one of the best motivational movies that inspired me. The pivotal point is when Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is forgiven by the priest and experiences the true Divine and unconditional love of God. This film is a big reminder of the power of Divine love that heals, transforms and saves us. This is the most important film in my life knowing no matter how bad things are, you are loved unconditionally and accepted as you are.” Ronald from San Francisco, USA Best Motivational Movies, Jean Valjean, Unconditional Love, Hugh Jackman, Priest

“I recommend Planes, Trains & Automobiles. I find it hard to name another film with such qualities that can make you laugh out loud and then tug at your heartstrings in an instant. I've watched this film countless times and never tire of it. It inspires me never to take people at face value as you never know the whole story. I love this film.” Andrew from Wales, United Kingdom Heartstrings, Out Loud, Wales, Trains

“One of my favorite movies is THE NATURAL. To get or find a way to allow yourself a second chance against great odds, to pursue your passion and ultimately to find your way that is home to you. This is the natural. We all have diversions in our paths of life. Some of our own making, some of others. It's what we ultimately do with it and how true we can be to ourselves. That speaks to me in this film.” Larry from Los Angeles, USA Other People, Larry, Paths, Lovers, Passion

“One of our favourite movies is Knight and Day, a romantic-action-comedy that never fails to cheer us up. With strong male (Tom Cruise) and female (Cameron Diaz) leads, the story reinforces the idea that our dreams of “someday” are not just idle fantasies, but goals that can be achieved together. We consider it a perfect couples movie, because it reminds us that things are better with two, as they say in the film ‘with me/without me.’ We chose with! :)” Day & Michael from Collingwood, Canada Cameron Diaz, Perfect Couple, Tom Cruise, Fails

“My recommendation is Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story starring Cuba Gooding Jr. This movie will inspire not just the less fortunate but those who are facing a lot of trials in their lives. Seeing how Dr. Ben Carson became the best pediatric neurosurgeon despite being poor and judged as a slow learner when he was young... motivated me to see these obstacles as a learning ground to be a better me.” Anna from Taguig, Philippines.

“Watching Gandhi has inspired me to understand the power of taking on an inspired mission through growing in love. As a Youth Speaker I take this stand everyday for our Youth and for our Education as a whole. Sometimes in this I am faced with setbacks, opposition and even hate. Gandhi reminds me time and time again to take a powerful stand for love, pray for those who hate and continue to grow in love.” Nick from Saint John, Canada Saint John, Gandhi, Me Time

“My favourite motivational movie is We Are Marshall, a tale of true resilience in the face of tragic loss. Based on true events following the 1970 plane crash that killed 75 team members, staff and supporters of a University football club, it shows that anyone can overcome horrific circumstances. My first viewing was at a time that I experienced a number of significant losses in my life, simultaneously, and this story had a profoundly positive inspirational impact on me.” Eric, Toronto, Canada Account Executive, Plane, Motivational

“Star Trek: The Motion Picture is on a very small list of modern films that depict a powerful, beautiful, and original view of the future. The ultimate sequence was the launch of the Enterprise. A tiny astronaut waving goodbye. The sun rising as the ship cruises away. Seeing Earth dwindle in the viewscreen as Sulu takes them to impulse. All of these aspects felt like a love letter to us from the future. I felt like I was finally there.” Jeffrey from Minneapolis-St.Paul, USA Waves Goodbye, Love Letters, Cruises, Astronaut
