Shame they don't have foreign films on that list. Ikiru isn't happy, feel-good inspirational, but if you want a movie that could inspire you to change your life, that's the movie.

One of my favorite inspirational ones is Cry Freedom.

Has Denzel Washington as Stephen Biko (S. African fighter vs. apartheid) and Kevin Kline as Donald Woods (newspaper editor who ended up leaving SA because of his stance against apartheid).
