Attitude Shaping and Shifting: Movies That Move You

Most of us go to the movies or rent something from Netflix or Blockbuster for sheer entertainment. I’m no exception. There’s nothing wrong with some good old fashion escape. But movies do have the power to induce states of mind and even change behavior.

Movies make us laugh.
Movies make us cry.
Movies make us think.
Movies inspire.
… and some movies are a waste of time or worse. Some even encourage irresponsible behavior. Here’s a list that you may want to consider actually purchasing and watching repeatedly.
