Media that Inspires (Movies, Art, Music, Writing, etc.)

[SealHammer]

I was slightly shocked to find in a cursory search of the forums that this topic did not already exist.

We all need a little inspiration now and then; post herein any form of media which makes you want to go out and change the world, that makes you feel impelled toward physical or mental motion.
If you want, expound a little bit on why and how something affects you. Feel free to both post and discuss different items in media and the ideas they represent.

Me, I'm a huge sucker for film montages overlaid with music and speech, especially when they're about issues dealing on a romantically large scale. The push for further space exploration is something very important to me, and I think this video does a great service towards underscoring the current state of the industry and why it's important.

Steve Jobs.

I remember the day when he died, and people made the front of the Apple Store a memorial. And...it happened all around the world.

I don't usually like sports movies, but this one was pretty alright. Mostly because of Sammy J.

It's not exactly change the world material, but this is something that propels me to action. I'd say it's more inspirational related to personal growth in my case because the content itself - dealing with arts and people issues - inspires me.

I hope that qualifies for this thread. :/

ETA: Did I mention immense pain and angst?

Any one here a fan of So You Think You Can Dance? Or dance, in general?

So I'm super late this season, but I've finally caught up. Not too excited about the new format,
but these new routines are just... <3

I also like Prince Ea and other spoken word poets.

They've got sensible stuff to say.
Now we need ourselves to apply.
