Today we are going to talk about the great works of the film industry. A list of motivational films...
1. Escape from Shawshank (1994)
One of the most inspiring and motivational masterpieces, a great classic for all time! The film follows the life of Andy Dufrene (Tim Robbins), a successful banker who, after being found guilty of a crime he didn't commit, is forced to live a life of imprisonment. There he tries to redeem himself with the help of his good friend Red (Morgan Freeman). This story is a must-see for everyone. Great acting by two of Hollywood's greatest actors.
2. Forrest Gump (1994)
This is another stimulating film, especially for Tom Hanks fans. Hanks plays the main character named Forrest Gump, a unique gentleman with an IQ of 75. We watch as he faces life's challenges and feels increasingly difficult given his IQ. We see him go through two presidential terms: the Vietnam War, Watergate, and more. It is definitely a treat for the viewer, especially Hanks fans, to watch the twists and turns of his personal life.

Great performance by Tom Hanks, who plays a Fed-Ex employee. He is stranded on an island after a plane crash. There is no one on the island, so he starts working on himself.

12. Remember the Titans (2000)
An excellent film based on true events about interracial differences and student athletes trying to deal with them. The story is about an athletic coach, Herman Boone (played by Denzel Washington), who is hired as a football coach at a college that has recently formed a high school team made up of students of different races. The team is in need of a mentor as they are still quite green. The players face many challenges and frustrations, which leads to racially motivated fights. Boone, however, helps them overcome their differences to the point where they all become friends for the rest of their lives. Recommended!
