8. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
Perhaps one of the best emotional Will Smith movies of all time, the movie tells the early life of entrepreneur Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle being homeless. Will Smith played Mr. Gardner, and it immediately caught the attention to be labeled as one of the epochal movies of all time. Will Smith captured the real image of being an unfortunate entrepreneur trying in vain to market his own bone scanners, but is eventually being amused by his son (played by his real life son). Generally speaking, this speaks of Will Smith’s softer side: that eventually nothing beats than the love of a father to his son. It doesn’t matter how unfortunate his life may be, as long he continues in making a change-and bring joy to his son.
For easy tearjerkers out there, we highly recommend this movie, and prepared to be motivated.
