AFI's 100 Most Inspirational Films.
Last night I watched the television show about the American Film Institute's list of 100 inspirational films
The top five:
- 1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. To Kill a Mockingbird
3. Schindler's List
4. Rocky
5. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
I watched To Kill a Mockingbird again the other day. That movie--and the book--is so spectacular. Wasn't Atticus Finch voted the greatest American hero somewhere? Because he so is.
Sidney Poitier was the actor who appeared in the most movies on the list, with five (In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Lilies of the Field, The Defiant Ones, and Raisin in the Sun).
Why doesn't he act anymore? He was good. I always wanted to see In the Heat of the Night and haven't yet. (Actually, the show pointed out that Poitier was in the most, but Gary Cooper was also in five of the movies on the list.)

You don't like the movie? Tsk. My brother would take you out for that! ((le soja))'s mom doesn't like it, either. But what's more inspiring than people realizing that everyone matters to someone, that everyone's life has an impact on the world and that we aren't alone? Not to mention the little man taking down big business! Or that our loved ones will always be there for us. It's v. inspiring!
I can still read that comment, you know.
