You're talking about Rudy, but Rudy was a ...he made 1 big play during his entire stint. Men like Lincoln excite the mind more than any 1-hit wonder. A man with a will strong enough to send troops upon his own people to fight for what he believed in. Watch The Gangs of New York if you want to see mind over matter at its finest. It touches upon many of the choices Lincoln made toward the end, but also shows what determination can gain you.
Edit: Last of the Mohicans is also a great movie to inspire mental and physical fortitude. The scene where the British officer purposely misinterprets the Americans so that the Hurons would burn him instead of the American…holy , an infinitely better person than I will / could ever be. |

beat me to it.
rudy is awesome. proves the fact that a small guy can make the football team, and can accomplish any dream he has set.
actually, they should make a movie called "the eck", named after david eckstein .. |

another good movie is : "dude where's my car?" .. after watching that movie, you start hitting yourself for actually wasting an hour and half watching a stupid movie ... that will fire yourself up, because you are hitting yourself ..

I used to watch 'Michael Jordan: Come Fly With Me' before all my intramural games in college.
Also, 'Vision Quest' is an old '80s movie that I like. It motivates me anyways.
