9 Inspirational Movies That Can Help You Enjoy Life

Stanley Kubrick once said “A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.” Yes, but what makes a movie inspirational? How can this progression of moods and feelings be created? Inspirational movies provide a link between us and something deeper and spiritual within. They make us feel optimistic and positive about ourselves, our potential and the environment around us. This triggers the "progression" inside us. We feel motivated and encouraged to take action as soon as we finish watching them.

Here is a list of inspirational movies that have the power to move us and allow us to see life from a different perspective. They can even help us to enjoy life, to stimulate our mind to develop critical thinking, to create a better world and to take action for something we believe in.
