I've go to throw The Program in the mix, too. Probably not what you might normally consider as "inspirational", but it certainly gets me hyped up for college football season every year. That and Rudy are traditional viewings for me on the weekend before the season opener.

Rudy
I just watched it again today. It's such a great movie on many different levels. Probably have seen the movie more times than I can count, and I'm not sick of it yet.

I'd like to throw Mystery Alaska into the mix. Great, great film. Inspiring on many levels.
Karate Kid is a great choice.
But the best has to be Bring It On
I'm kinda serious about that.
Loved Miracle . I've seen it a few times now and it still gives me goose bumbs. And when Aerosmith's Dream On starts playing at the end the hair on my arms (and back
) stands up all static like.
Rocky is also an excellent pick.
Always thought Rudy was silly, but I can see why people would pick it.

Neither do I.
Close call btwn The Natural and Hoosiers. The funny thing is that I always end up watching these 2 films the same weekend (since the Final Four and MLB Opening Day are always at the same time). I'll give the edge to Hoosiers.
