On: Ask HN: What are some technically inspiring movies...

[FiatLuxDave]

Since my divorce, I've found that I get a lot of help out of media like this for recharging my spirit to work on things. Sometimes kids' movies are the best, because they aren't at all about the 'how', but they are about the 'why'. Here's a list of a few that I find helpful:

Tomorrowland

Big Hero 6

Robots (2005)

The Martian

Sneakers

Real Genius

Wargames

Macguyver (80s show)

Cosmos

October Sky

Iron Man

The Astronaut Farmer

Flight of the Phoenix

Something Ventured

Now if I can only figure out how to get a team behind me like in those movies... :)

Also, thank you for the great list and don't pay attention to people who would berate you for daring to be human and need external motivation.

I had completely forgotten about Big Hero 6, some kids' movies really are great.
