So you have the original (excellent) idea from willpower_ranger http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?12342-The-Soundtrack-to-Abstinence&p=70228 My first copy: http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?13112-The-Paintings-of-Abstinence&p=70529 And now... my second copy. SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB3S9bIaco About: Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. Why: To find love, hope and freedom, even in the worst cases, when it seems to be impossible. IKIRU (TO LIVE) IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044741/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6wAlkouhEU About: A bureaucrat tries to find a meaning in his life after he discovers he has terminal cancer. Why: To find a meaning in life, to continue living after all.
"The Rookie" (2002, Hancock) and "October Sky" (1999, Johnston) are two good inspirational movies. They're also two of my favorites. "The Rookie" stars Dennis Quaid as a high school Chemistry teacher and baseball coach who realizes his dream of entering the big leagues. It's based on the true story of Jim Morris, who was a relief pitcher for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1999-2000. And "October Sky" is based on Homer Hickam's memoir "Rocket Boys" about him and his friends who escape their poor, coal mining town in the 50s by building rockets.
I agree with nopenotdoinit, remember the titans is an amazing film. I would also suggest 7 pounds, wonderful film with Will Smith.
I haven't seen any of those movies. I'll definitely take a look. (October Sky was already in my "Movies to See" list. Now I have another other reason to watch it.) THE TRUMAN SHOW IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120382/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loTIzXAS7v4 About: An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a T.V. show. Why: Because it's difficult to face reality and to leave your past life behind, but change's always possible.
TENDER MERCIES IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086423/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkRvzcektB0 About: A broken-down, middle-aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long-lost daughter, and tries to put his troubled life back together Why: Because we can always start again and because we can remain in our new found path, no matter what happens (I don't want to spoil the movie.)

CLEAN AND SOBER IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094884/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFiZf0q6OZg About: A hustling drug addict checks himself into rehab to escape trouble with the law, and realizes that it's exactly what he needs. Why: Because it's up to us to choose if we want to get out or if we want to continue being "in". LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR WARNING: The movie contains many triggers and it's quite harsh. It's the opposite to the previous movie, as "Clean and Sober" is a journey from "IN" to "OUT", whereas "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is a journey from "OUT" to "IN". IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076327/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GYt6fLLYzk About: A dedicated schoolteacher spends her nights cruising bars, looking for abusive men with whom she can engage in progressively violent sexual encounters. Why: To all of those who don't consider that a sexual addiction is a serious addiction.
I thought that it was a good idea to resurrect an old thread of mine. Feel free to contribute, if you want to. BLACK MIRROR WARNING: This TV-series contains triggers, so it's best to watch if you're advanced in your recovery, and you're no longer triggered by sexual references or brief pictures. IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Trailer: About: A television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology. Why: Because it shows the negative impact that technology is having/could have in our lives, focused on how we relate with each other, what it means to have privacy and what are our core values as a society. It's SciFi and it's quite dark and extremely well written.
