Motivational Movies

As one of my best mates is walking for her mum in  The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity fundraiser today, I have chosen to dedicate a blog about motivational movies!

If anyone wishes to support her, text RMCC163 to 70070 to donate £3. Its a really good cause and they're all dressed like idiots so its worth it.


On with the list now!


10. Good Will Hunting -


Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's debut as writers and actors, Good Will Hunting explores what its like to work towards your achievements and dreams. Also Robin Williams *cries*


9. Cool Runnings -


Bit of Disney now. Funny, heart warming and inspiring - a story about a Jamaican Bobsled team making it in the Olympics. A feel-good family classic.


8. The Blind Side -


A story about a young man who had nothing and becomes an all American football player and hero. With some amazing dialogue and incredible morals, The Blind Side is truly inspirational.

7. 8 Mile -


Eminem's movie debut. The story of a poor young white man who struggles to help provide his little sister with the life she deserves. He pursues his dream of rapping and so comes his undeniable success in the music industry. And of course, the hit Lose Yourself features as the main soundtrack which is motivational in itself.


6. The Shawshank Redemption -


An innocent man is thrown in jail for the murder of his wife and her lover. He has to adapt to 19 years of brutal prison life. But Andy never loses sight of his dreams.


5. Forrest Gump -


A classic story of a slow witted man who doesn't let anything stand his way. The incredible story of his life and his dreams in chasing the woman he loves. Run Forrest Run!


4. The Theory of Everything -


The true story of Steven Hawking and his heart wrenching battle with ALS. No matter what, he becomes and remains, the greatest mind of all time. He never lets the disease take him over and he never gives up.


3. The Pursuit of Happiness


Tissues at the ready. Will Smith and his son Jaden (when he was adorable) play a father and son trying live and survive in San Francisco with no job or money. Always clinging to hope and never giving up gives them the ending they deserve.


2. Unbroken -


The incredible true story of an Olympic runner who turned pilot during World War II. Louis Zamperini went through hell and back by enduring weeks out at sea with no food or water, becoming a Japanese prisoner of war and undergoing torture and hard labour at the camps. Angelina Jolie's masterpiece is one powerful watch.


1. Rocky -


Whether its the music, the amazing speech or the determination of the characters, Rocky is undeniably one of the most motivational movies of all time. A feel-good classic and franchise, Rocky provides us with a 'never give up' morality, an important message through life we can all relate to.
