8. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

This is one inspiring true story of Will Smith playing Chris Gardner, who from being a single homeless father will end up successfully through perseverance and determination. The chemistry between Chris, the single father, and his son played by Smith's actual son Jaden was simply deep and touching. This movie ends on such an emotional note as it marks Chris getting his ideal job and he ends up weeping for joy- proving to all of humanity how one should not give up, yet be hopeful.
