Hiya Julzie!

Dunno about fave... but there is a film I saw recently which was fantastic - "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" - have you heard of it?

It's a French film (subtitled) about the true story of a man who wakes up one day to find he is completely paralysed and only able to wink one eye, which is his only way of communicating with the outside world. Despite this, the guy writes a book about his experiences, by winking out each letter to form each word... and it's this book that the film is based on.

Don't get the wrong idea though - I know this sounds grim but the main character has such a wicked sense of humour that it lifts the film from being maudlin to being uplifting and inspirational. And funny! :D

Worth a look if you don't mind subtitles! :D

I love Pay it forward. it's a simple concept of doing a good deed for another but rather than giving a good deed back to the same person you do it for someone else. Lovely Film..
 
The Piano - shows that people are programmed to do one thing but can be led by their soul to make the right decision.

Utterly heartbreaking film xx
 
Anything by Ben Dover :D Always 'inspiring' ;)
 
Actually.... here's a few real ones...

Le Grand Bleu (amazing score by Eric Serra too)

Harold & Maude (grew up with this film & Cat Stevens... the last 10 mins set to Trouble always get me)

Crash

Cashback (seek it out - small independant British film & beautiful)

It's A Wonderful Life

Dead Poets Society

All totally inspirational & life-affirming :)

film about a man with learning disabilitys who fathers a child and raises her for the courts to take her away as they say hes not smart enough to raise her as shes a bright kid so he takes classes to help his learning so she could come back home
 
Shawshank...with the wonderful Morgan Freeman.

Face Off. Just love the acting of John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.

Chick flick...Bridget Jones...Just because.

Angela's Ashes. (the books better).

Schindlers List...although it was very sad it restorred my faith in humanity that this guy would risk everything to try and save lives. What an amazing human being he was.

Stupid comedies....Anger Management...LOVE IT, Dodgeball - LOVE IT, Anchorman...with the legendary Ron Burgendy LOL, The Wedding Crashers.
