I don't know how many people watched the other night, but AFI revealed the top 100 inspiring movies of all time. The movies covered all genres of movie, including some great sports movies. Movies such as "Hoosiers", "Field of Dreams", and "Rudy", were included on this list, and appropriately so. One movie, however, that is quite inspiring on many levels, which was inexplicably left off the list, was "Miracle".
How do you leave this movie off? This, if you aren't aware, is the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team. Kurt Russell does an unbeliveable job as Herb Brooks, leading America to the improbable gold medal. They had an amazing run, with the mythical win over the Russians with the famous "Do you believe in miracles?" call. This story shows in no uncertain terms that no matter the odds, no matter how the deck is stacked against you, heart and determination can propel you to almost anything.
How could a movie like that not be on the list? My opinion, absolutely crazy.
