24/7 Wall St.'s 30 Most Inspirational Movies of the Last 100 Years

"Ever since the first movies were made more than a century ago, they have given people something to cheer about. Many films go even further, inspiring viewers to make a difference. Oftentimes, depending on what movie they see, people leave a theatre feeling more hopeful for the future.
Using information generated by the American Film Institute, 24/7 Tempo has picked the 30 most inspirational movies of the past 100 years.
Though this is a list of the most inspiring movies released over a century, the top films cover a period of about 60 years — from 1939 to 1998. Most of the movies are dramas, but quite a few are comedies that inspire people to never give up." - 247wallst.com
