One of the most heart-breaking yet motivational movies, The Pursuit of Happyness, stars Will Smith, and is directed by Gabriele Muccino. Based on the real-life memoir of Chris Gardner, the movie follows a year in the life of Gardner (Smith), a salesman, who gets into mounting financial troubles and has to deal with homelessness. As his struggles increase and he is left to take care of his young son, the movie takes a devastating look at the strength of the human spirit.
