They pack a wallop of inspiration, indignation, and imagination.

If you’ve run out of new series on Netflix and Amazon Prime, consider viewing one or more of these timeless, classic movies that pack a wallop of inspiration, indignation, and imagination. If they have a common denominator, it’s in their powerful story about courage in the face of adversity. We can all use a good dose of it.

Easy Rider: If you’re born to be wild, and want to get your freedom lust sated, this movie fits the bill.

Braveheart: What does bravery really mean? Find out. Not for the faint of heart.

Casablanca: A personal favorite. It has everything: a love triangle, drama, and the struggle against the Nazi occupation.

Star Wars: Fight between good and evil across time and space.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: What happens when a man of courage comes up against the Washington Power Establishment? This is the classic story of such a man.

12 Years a Slave: This is the story of the evil of slavery — how it not only weakens the body and mind but pollutes the soul of a nation. It’s based on a book written by a free man in New York who was kidnapped into slavery.
