Exclamation inspirational movies

hey guys,

this is the opposite of this thread.

i need some titles of movies where characters start up as losers/failures and by the end become something great. I'm looking for movies about overcoming hardships and kicking serious ass.

Example: It's All Gone Pete Tong (constantly drugged and drunk DJ loses his hearing, afterwards gets his shit together, stops doing drugs and starts mixing again by sensing the vibrations)

bonus points if they contain scenes like the Rocky training scenes or any scenes that get you inspired and motivated:

thanks in advance.

This might not fit in well, the movie August Rush http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426931/ was pretty decent in that department.

I remember when I was in the 6th grade (and playing football) Remember the Titans was pretty inspirational when I went to go see it.

Remember the Titans is a classic middle school inspirational "movie day" movie.

But recently I saw "Gattaca" and it was surprisingly good.

The Power of One is a great inspirational film. Re-watchable, too.

Empire Records is one particular movie that inspires me.

And buddy films. Like Pineapple Express, or...or uhhh...another buddy film. Or like The Adventures of John and Dave.
