Seabiscuit
So not only is the film heartwarming but the real life story of jockey Red Pollard and his Thoroughbred racehorse Seabiscuit is wondrous. On the track, Seabiscuit was overlooked as he was a rather small horse but through determination, he rose up as a champion. Furthermore Seabiscuit’s story became a symbol of hope, prosperity, and the American way during the time of the Great Depression.
Titanic
Raise your hand if you know the story of the RMS Titanic. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that everyone knows the tale. Titanic was headed on its maiden voyage to New York City from Southampton until tragedy literally struck. After coming into contact with an iceberg, the Titanic sank and out of 2,224 crew and passengers, 1,500 died. To this day, it is still considered one of the deadliest peacetime maritime accidents.
