Creed (2015)
Ryan Coogler’s first film in the update of the Rocky franchise made us fall in love with Rocky Balboa all over again, but Sylvester Stallone’s torch-passing to Michael B. Jordan had just the right mix of stoicism and sentiment. It also has the best training sequence of any Rocky-related film. The low-key moral of most inspirational movies is that you don’t win during the fight — you win during the training for the fight. Just grit your teeth and do the work.
Adonis Creed is too cool to be a real person, sadly. But Creed still makes our list of uplifting movies. We also like the sequels.
