I am surprised Facing the Giants didn't make the list -- it's definitely an inspirational movie with tons of applicable lessons for business owners in a sports setting.

Facing the Giants is the story of Grant Taylor, a mediocre high school football coach. After several years of failing seasons, the Shiloh Eagles consider replacing him as head coach. This is not the only problem Taylor is facing however; his car is breaking down, the players' fathers are trying to get him fired, and he discovers that he is the reason that his wife cannot become pregnant.

In order to find a solution to these problems, he prays to God for help. He creates a new coaching philosophy and decides to praise God after each game. From that point on, he loses only one game and goes on to win the state championship.

“The Secret” ripped off ideas of the masters, eliminated any mention of hard work , and called it their own. I recommend reading Hanaal, Hill, Wattles etc.

My favourite is A Knights Tale with two great quotes.
“A man can change his stars”
“Most of it is the guts to take a blow.
Very appropriate for all Entrepreneurs.

Great movies! I've seen all but two of them. I guess I will go to Blockbuster and rent the 2 I haven't seen yet. I love some of the classic Boiler Room scenes. All of them have some great messages and stories of hope, possibility, of never giving up, being committed, all great lessons for young entrepreneurs. Keep up empowering the young entrepreneurs out there like myself Brad. We need more of us! Thanks for the movie tips.
