Almost all people get inspired by movies. I have seen people watching movies before making some decisions and that is hilarious. But sometimes by watching movies, you feel that if other people can do it then I can too. I have mentioned a movie that is Social Network which is a movie based on the development of Facebook and how twisted the story gets before hitting success. Likewise, the list is full of movies like that. All the movies depict struggle and success after struggle. List of 5 inspirational movies for working professional:
The Wolf of Wall Street
