High Noon - Just a great classic on courage
Gone With the Wind - I love Melanie Wilkes' character as it is probably the best example of proper Christian behavior, ie not being judgemental or using your morals to imagine yourself superior to others)
The Passion - I just love the part where Jesus crushes the snake. I try to take on that attitude when I am tempted. I hate that snake.
Zulu - Great example of working your plan and sticking to it
The Searchers - Great example of just being a stubborn, relentless sob
The Holy Grail - Because strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords, really is no basis for a system of government

Amelie
Hotel Rwanda
The Pianist
Schindlers List
Garden State
Some of these (Amelie, Garden State) inspire me to really live life, they are happy, beautiful movies and I strongly recommend them. Other movies (Hotel Rwanda, The Pianist) are the types that really show you just how evil humans can get and leave you dumbfounded-but also aware, I think it is important to be very aware of the dark times in our history (even recent history-1994: Hotel Rwanda) as humans. -

Gladiator and Braveheart
They just want to make me sieze the day. I want to find my true calling or destiny and fulfill it. They both inspire me to step up and be the leader I want to be. To start a revolution, to control a mob.
