Ask HN: What movies inspire you?

Movies don't inspire productivity in me. They make me lazy. They get me in dreamland. A good book might inspire me to work. A book that inspires productivity in me consistently is Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Every time i feel stuck, i just reread the chapter on gumption traps and go on with my work.

Primer; both its content and the fact that the entire movie was made on a budget of $6000. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Primer_(film)

Office Space... to keep me in line and remind me that, if I don't buck up, that's where I'll end up (having to worry about putting new cover sheets on TPS reports to please 8 different bosses).

Blow, because it reminds me about the spirit of entrepreneurship and making big things happen fast, which we all desire.
