    Sounds cheesy, but Meet the Robinsons. Nothing like a good kid's movie!

    I totally forgot about The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds. Pretty much any tear jerker with Will Smith gets me.

    I watched "Spirit of the Marathon" Saturday night - a documentary about five people training for the Chicago Marathon for different reasons. It really inspired me for the training i'm doing for my first marathon in June. I ran 18.5 miles on Sunday.

    Karate Kid with Jaden Smith, too, I love that movie.

    Vision Quest

    I don't know what it is about that movie. I was in Okinawa. I studied Shorin-Ryu Karate and got my black belt. Fast forward about 10 years and had pretty much stopped working out. Saw Vision Quest, got inspired and within a week had found a new school in So Cal. Changed styles and worked on my Black Belt in TKD. Stayed with that school until I opened one of my own. It's almost 30 years later and I still dabble, though I no longer teach.
