I'd add Groundhog Day and Run, Lola, Run.
A lot of good movies on that list, I would add
Seven Pounds and Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley
Finding Forrester. Oh, and Mean Girls is right up there too :)
Pay it Forward.
I second Pay It Forward.
Dan in Real Life, Everything is Illuminated, Hotel Rowanda,Henry Poole is here, Royle Tenenbaums
Hey Sweet Cousin!
I would have to add "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." It seems like a weird pick for "inspiring movies" but I think it has a good message about love.

I've always liked The Neverending Story
Also, thank you for sharing all that you do on your blog, your openness and honesty, (not to mention beautiful pictures!) are always neat to scroll through.
I forgot to mention one: The Visitor
I was about to mention Henry Poole is here, but someone beat me to it! Since you're going to add Narnia, I'm thinking The Fellowship of the Ring trilogy should make the list. It's pretty inspiring.
Oh, and also, Unleashed. It wasn't what I expected. I sometimes give people lectures about why they should watch this movie, but I'll spare you :)
The Express: The Ernie Davis Story
and
We Are Marshall
Both incredibly inspiring based on true stories!
Can I play even though I don't know you? I would add Turtles Can Fly (which reduced me to convulsive sobbing), Spanglish, Rent, Sweet Land and Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, Oh and one more White Squall.
I loved peeking at your blog, it's lovely. I found it through your Mom's blog which I frequent.

I love movies, so I have to add a favorite of mine...
Dirty Dancing
The Count of Monte Cristo. It's the ultimate "when life gives you lemons" story. You got a crap life? Well break out of it and build yourself a better one. Don't necessarily go and ruin your enemies' lives... but, hey.
Can the list be complete without Galaxy Quest??? or what about the ever culturally important Foul Play?
OK. Now I'm serious. Add 'The Painted Veil' and 'Finding Nemo.'
For any parent who has ever had to learn to love and let go, add Finding Nemo.
i'd add serendipity, say anything and back to the future, these make me so happy!
are you sure twilight wasn't a joke as well!
Meet the Robinson's. Is one of the most inspiring movies I have seen. I liked how the motto of the movie was "keep moving forward" or something like that.
Shawshank Redemption but it's already here on the list. I'd add With Honors and The Bucket List.
I would like to add 'My cousin Vinny' and 'The Mask' to your list! I have watched them a number of times and every time they make me laugh :)
Bella
1st. Take Mall Cop off that list now. LAME
I second the Visitor.. Great movie.. really makes you think about immigration.
Defiance and Boy In the Stripped Pajamas are both new so insightful to the Holocaust and WW2
Mad Hot Ballroom.
I would really add "A beautiful mind"
Seven pounds without a doubt
Breakfast at Tiffanys with Audrey. She loved and lived so carelessly and freely and with all her heart. Love.
