I'm hoping for a recommendation. I want to watch a film, inspiring, full of emotion. One of those that gets you right in the hurts. Similar to Forrest Gump, Curious Case of Benjamin Button... A peculiar tale.

I've just watched Life Of Pi and it didn't hit the spot. Any idea's?


Edit: Slumdog Millionaire would fit the bill if I hadn't already seen it

Off the top of my head if you dont mind war films then Rescue Dawn and Taegukgi (brotherhood)last 2 films i saw and thoroughly enjoyed both and they tick all of the above
The Hunt is pretty powerful but its pretty bleak and never uplifting
you could do alot worse than The Kings Speech and Worlds fastest Indian
Blood Diamond is a pretty powerful film

Into the Wild

...is the correct answer.

Blind Side? I found that pretty powerful.

[Legend83]

Million Dollar Baby?

Reign Over Me?

The Secret in Their Eyes?

How To Train Your Dragon? (Seriously)

Changeling has got to be in with a shout. One of my all time favourites that.

Yep, Into The Wild is a favourite. I'd do it in a triple feature with

The Trail
The Motorcycle Diaries
