This time of the year we tend to think more about what we are thankful for. So if you're looking for some inspiration this weekend, look no further than a good movie!

Movies are great when it comes to gratitude, appreciating the little things in life, and putting things in perspective. Here are a few movies to do just that:

The Blind Side--and not just because Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock are awesome in this movie, but because it shows how we can make a difference just by reaching out to others.

It Could Happen To You--I LOVE this movie and have probably watched it a dozen times. This couple gave back to others even when they were broke. And they stuck through the hard times together! Love that.

The Pursuit of Happyness -- I was a puddle when Will Smith and his son had to sleep on the bathroom floor. But this movie teaches us many lessons, including that nothing is impossible and everyone has the potential to succeed.

Pay It Forward--Another one I've watched many times, even though I know how it ends. The concept of taking a lesson or a gift that was given to you, and "paying it forward" is beautiful. This movie made me want to be a better person.

Is there a movie that has inspired you that way? Let us know!
