5 inspiring movies to kick off the new year

Audrey Tautou in "Amélie".

Every year's end brings a new one's beginning, and with it comes the annual parade of resolutions, those well-intentioned to-dos of spending less, reading more, eating healthier and the like. But no matter how earnest those New Year's goals, we all could use a little extra boost of inspiration to keep those plans going well past January 2026 — that's where these motivational movies come in.

From swoon-worthy romances to uplifting sports dramas, these five inspiring movies each make for a galvanizing watch, whether you're looking to become more physically active, emotionally open yourself up to love, professionally change your station in life, or, in the case of one famed football flick, lead your team to greatness.
