Uninspired
Badger mentions the American Film Institute's latest list, 100 Years...100 Cheers: America's Most Inspiring Movies (pdf). So far, more than 300 films have been nominated, and 1,500 industry types will vote on the films that have "inspired them."
Badger's predictions about the final list sound about right. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg will make about seven appearances each. We'll have lots of sports teams triumphing over great odds, heroic teachers and lawyers saving the day, rags-to-riches stories, dozens of individuals beating evil corporations and/or faceless bureaucracies, and heterosexual couplings galore (with Philadelphia the notable exception here because of the Tom Hanks Factor).
