List of films/books that I've found inspiring - because we all need them

Here is just a short list of some movies and books I've watched/read that have been really inspirational to me.
(These are not listed by which ones I like the most.)

The Book of Mormon - tells of the very, very early American settlers and their struggles and blessings.
The Bible - lists the Ten Commandments and lots of great parables, among other things.
The Lost Medallion - a great movies about the worth of souls, trusting in ourselves and others and pride.
Courageous - very touching movie about family, love, how to deal with family death and some consequences of fatherless children. (There's also a book, I think it's based on the movie. Both of them made me cry, which was the first time that's happened.)
Edge by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward - a book on success and how to achieve it.
The 7 Highly Effective Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey - a really good book; teaches you seven habits that will help you throughout life.
The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make in your Life by Sean Covey - advice on how to confront and answer those decisions.
The Freedom Factor by Gerald N. Lund - Q: what would life be like without the Constitutions? A: scary
It's a Wonderful Life - the classic movie of George Bailey and his search for the meaning of life
Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass - a story of a young man searching for the meaning of life (there's also a movie, but the book's much better)
Chariots of Fire - the stories of Eric Liddle and Harold Abrahams
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness - the amazing story of Gladys Aylward, based on the book The Small Woman by Gladys Aylward and Alan Burgess.
