The best inspirational movies leave an indelible impression on the viewer. In this selection I’ve chosen 35 — from Oscar winners to cult favorites, they’re worthy of anyone’s DVD collection.
In an attempt to avoid this list being cliché, I’ve picked films you may not have seen before, and ones which may have slipped from your memory. As a result, you won’t find certain well known films below, such as Schindler’s List, Forrest Gump, and Shawshank Redemption. The exceptional films on offer should, hopefully, make up for it!
Amadeus
This wonderful period epic, loosely based on Mozart’s genius, boasts fine performances and exceptional music.
“This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing.” A description of Mozart’s music.
