Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

It's why I learnt to play guitar. I even own Steinberger Spirit guitar AND bass.

 

[Truly Exotic]

definitely the movie "300"

reminds me to Harden the F UP

and gets the adrenalin going and makes me want to go out and do something

plus makes me less patient with people with "first world problems"

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Just watched "Pay It Forward" with the family.

Not a bad perspective from which to approach life.

Some background to the concept here:

Some movies that inspire me in different ways:

Remember the Titans
(Importance of others and challenge of bringing people of various backgrounds together to work as one and overcome the odds)

Men of Honour
(Respect from others comes from your actions, not your place in life or rank. Have great tenacity in your attempt to achieve your goal.)

Rocky IV
(So many things you could take out of this movie. A couple of quick ones are, you don't need the latest and greatest equipment to get the job done [shiny object syndrome]. The battle is won in the mind. The importance of focus and to do away with distraction.)

Rudy ('93)
(Determination and grit will take you further than talent alone.)

Money Ball
(Change the establishment/tradition. To look at things from a different angle when you don't have the necessary funds and/or resources.)

Coach Carter
(Importance of sticking to your principles and giving back. Holding yourself and those you lead to a higher expectation of standards. Self respect and self reliance can do wonders for a person.)
