Non-fiction movies are definitely the most inspiring of all movies. Here are 10 movies inspired by true stories, which can change your view of life. These are 10 movies, but I have not arranged them in order of excellence as they all are so inspiring that it is impossible to work out an order:
Mar Adentro: A man who is hopelessly handicapped, with his entire body paralyzed, want to die. The court won’t let him die as euthanasia is illegal. A lawyer shows interest in fighting the case for him, but she wants to convince him about the importance, the beauty of life. The story takes an incredible turn, when she comes to know things about the man, which make her convinced about fighting the case instead.
Cidade de Dues: The City of Gods is the most crime-ridden place in the world. A photographer tells the true story of how he grew up in one of the most dangerous places in the world.
The Motorcycle Diaries: Che Guevera, the immensely popular political leader from Cuba, was not much of leader when he was a college student. But a motorcycle trip changed his view of life and made a different person out him. This is the incredible story of that very trip.
The counterfeiter: A Jewish man in Nazi Germany is gifted with the talent of making counterfeit notes, with immaculate accuracy. Nazis, who are out to kill all Jews, don’t kill him. They use to him to print notes to British and American currency in quantities beyond imagination.

World’s Fastest Indian: An old man from New Zealand has a dream. He wants to prove that his motorcycle, a 1920 Indian, is the fastest motorcycle in the world. He takes a loan, travels to California, United States to participate in the motor speed record competition. But when he reaches there, he is not allowed to participate as he and his bike are too old to race. However, he is determined and the people who start to respect him for his determination decide to make him happy by giving him a chance. ‘What can he do? He will only make a harmless round trip of the track’, they think. But what happens after that is history.
The Pursuit of Happyness: Will Smith is a married man and a hopeless loser. He is a salesman who can’t sell his products. His wife can’t take it anymore and leaves him. He has no money and no job. He decides to become a stockbroker and enrolls for an unpaid internship. He has no food to it, no house to live in, and no money to get his son to school. If you want to see how a man can struggle in the hardest of situations and come out as a winner, see this movie.
Amadeus: Mozart, as we know him today, was a great musician. He is respect, loved and considered a master of his art. But this is what we think of him today. Not many people knew Mozart while he was alive. Apart from a few performances in the royal opera, he didn’t even get a decent applause for his work, while he was alive. In fact, he was buried without any rituals in a mass grave, with one to cry for him. What he left behind was heaps of paper, scribbled with musical notes on them. These very scribbles have made up many of the most popular tunes ever.
Mongol: A tribe chief’s son sees his father get murdered with his own eyes. The murderers leave him to die in the desert. He survives, grows up, gets married and hopes to live a peaceful life. He wanted to lie in fields gazing at the sky, talking to his wife, playing with his children, but this was not meant to be. His wife was kidnapped, by his dead father’s enemies. After that, what starts as a mission to get back his wife, ends up making him, Changez Khan, the ruler of half of the world
Seven Years in Tibet: A mountaineer from Germany goes to explore the roof of the world, Tibet. He meets many Tibetan people, among which a kid becomes his close friend. They talk a lot, share stories, and learn about each others cultures. The kid was none other than the present Dalai Lama, who has lived through the several atrocities of the Chinese government on the Tibetans.
