What moves you

I just watched the end part of Flashdance  where the galJennifer Beales) in it is dancing to be able to go to the Dance Academy,it is so uplifting ,it is one of the happiest , hopeful pieces I have seen, I must have viewed it a few dozen times ,it came out in 1987 I believe .but the dancing is so up to date even youngsters today would like it,if you get a chance take a look.It will make you feel good. So my question is what Movie, music, story, human condition, uplifts you, makes you feel better after a trying day, week, year ...decade .?

I'm agreeing with Stormy, animals, my cat when he gets a bug up his bum and starts chasing anything that rustles (carrier bags are a fave) who needs a gym when your abs hurt so much after laughing that hard!! he's taken to coming to bed with me when i'm not well, he actually stroked my face the other day!! no claws, just paw. i nearly cried!!

Oh god i'm a right sad case!!

I loved Flashdance and still do.  The stunt double was actually a female.  She was interviewed about the movie.  She looked nothing like Jennifer Beale but she's an awesome dancer.  I love dance movies...any dance movies.  I watched Step Up, Step Up II, Lambada, Take the Lead, Girl's Just Want to Have Fun, Bring the Noise, Salsa, Dance with Me, Dirty Dancing....I can go on and on.  All dance movies are inspirational to me because I used to be a dancer and I never continued past age 13.  I had been dancing Modern, Ballet and Tap since I was 4 years old.  I was so stupid to stop.
