Top 10 motivational and inspirational movies

How videos can change your mood

So many studies have shown how the movies or even the scenes you watch can dramatically change your thoughts, beliefs and mood. (see Why do we get affected by videos)

In my article one of the most inspirational videos ever i even provided a demonstration of how your mood can be changed in minutes when the right visual scenes are introduced.

Some studies have even shown that staring at a picture for few seconds can result in a mood change. Its also pretty well known that music can change the mood as well. Now because a video is a combination of both images and music it can result in dramatic mood changes.

Because the world we live in is full of negativity i decided to give you a list of the top motivational and inspirational movies (from my point of view) so that you can get a mood lift.

Top 10 motivational and inspirational movies

  • 1) Pursuit of happiness: The great thing about Pursuit of happiness is that it can help you acknowledge the fact that life can be really tough and that you can still make it if you persisted. If you are serious about success then you can't afford missing that movie
  • 2) Jobs: The movie is about the life story of the legend Steve jobs. It shows you how extraordinary determination can help you get over the worst setbacks in life ever (see also Steve jobs explains the rules of success)
