Movies that motivate?

JeffJohnson26

One thing that drives my workouts is the right music on my iPod. But before I get to it, I tend to watch a "motivational" movie each week to get me pumped. As a movie buff, this helps me find inspiration and I'm sure there's some great films I either haven't seen or haven't considered. Below is my revolving top ten. What are yours? And why?

1. 300 - One look at them explains it all. Plus, lead me to the gym jones training style...which is brutal.

2. G.I. Jane - I love all the bootcamp scenes. And Demi displays pure badassery!

3. American Psycho - Christian Bale looks like he's carved out of marble. He trains like a maniac...when he isn't behaving like one.

4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Hugh is absolutely shredded. I've borrowed some of his workouts from www.bodybuilding.com.

5. Fight Club - This one always gets my mind right if I feel lazy or unwilling to train hard.

6. Spartacus: Blood & Sand - The entire series makes me wish I was part of a Ludas. Eat, train, fight. Eat, train, fight...

7. Unbreakable - The endorphin rush resulting from hard training makes me feel indestructable some days.

8. Rocky II - While I love all six movies, this was the one that Sly began transforming his body. Don't think so? Watch it again.

9. The Fighter - I can say Invincible just as easy. Football or boxing, Walberg brings it.

10. The Guardian - Kevin Costner is relentless as an instructor who punishes his class to the brink.

Save the Last Dance.... but only because I use to dance and I can't do hardly any of what she does in the movie now!
