A Great American Tragedy (1972)
Inspirational in my case

I give this film a 10 because of the effect it had on my life.
Like the main character, I am also an engineer, but I was just graduating from college at the time. The country was just getting into recession in 1973, and I wrestled with which path to take. This film depicted exactly the situation I was concerned about: becoming an over- specialized engineer without a job.
As a direct result of the film, I turned down some really good job offers from Fortune 100 companies and decided never to put my destiny in the hands of someone else. I've worked for myself ever since.
Corny, but true.
The film itself...I hardly remember it. But does it matter? It spoke to me.
