What Is the Name of This Movie?

I know it's not the one you are looking for, but have you seen August Rush? Best Movie EVER! It's about a boy who was separated from his mother at birth. He is a musical prodigy, trying to find her through his music. His mother finds out he is alive (she was told he was stillborn) and she is searching for him too... while his dad is searching for his mom. (they were separated before they knew she was prego.) It's got a lot of great music (and I don't generally like movies with a lot of music) and it's an awesome story. :)

Is it Billy Elliot?

haven't read all of the responses, but it kinda sounds like happy feet! the animated movie about the penguins... i think that would be a good movie to reccomend. :)

Sounds like "Billy Elliot"!

Another "feel good" movie about not giving up is "Rudy".

The only one I can think of is Happy Feet, but that's a cartoon!!

For a fantastic feel good movie, have you seen The Ultimate Gift? It is so good.

Stand and Deliver, based on a true story about a teacher in LA teaching calculus to a bunch of kids most people would dismiss as too underprivileged to succeed. Awesome movie.

Radio, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. usually has me in sobs by the end.

I love these types of movies too. The based-on-a-true-story ones in particular are most moving for me.

"Soul Surfer" (brand new, in theaters now). It was fantastic, and amazing that it was based on a true story.

"Rudy" is one of my all-time favorites; so is "Friday Night Lights." And of course "Hoosiers."

The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith is a great movie about perseverance.

Another feel good is Simon Birch.....I have seen it 2 or 3 times....cry EVERYTIME!!!!

It makes you want to hug someone!!!

A few other movies I enjoyed..
Music of the Heart - a women starts a music program in a poor NYC school
Cool Runnings - the Jamican bobsled team

Not a true story, but along the same lines
Mr. Holland's Opus

Definitely sounds like Billy Elliot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249462/

I LOVE inspirational movies too! Another inspirational movie = Akeelah the Bee. My daughter was so inspired by this movie, worked hard and made it through to our school's national spelling bee =-)

Also Lifetime movie = Homeless to Harvard. Based on a true story. Loved it!
