I don't think proud is an appropriate term that should be attributed to human behavior. At any rate, that is where the paradox lies, because humans are too pridefull, they lose their way. There are plenty of films than can inspire though, which is breaking away from this prideful arrogance of humans. I can tell you have read a book or 2 in your life.

There are plenty of films than can inspire though, which is breaking away from this prideful arrogance of humans. It's almost impossible to experience pride and humility at the same time. When I was a kid, I never wanted to win at anything because I would think other people would think I was stuck up. What a dilemna! At the same time, it's not a bad thing to want to do well in life. The whole notion of "friendly competition" is bogus. I think the best way to approach all this is to compete with oneself. Aim for your personal best. I almost reject competition as a premise, but going up against yourself it seems to me is not bad at all.

"Starship Troopers" might make you proud to be a human. If nothing else, it should teach you he difference between a citizen and a civilian.

"The Miracle Worker", 1962 Good call Mr. Dirty! If anyone had a right to feel proud, and Annie Sullivan certainly had an ego, it was this feisty, tenacious and headstrong woman who gave a life to someone who had no real concept or way of life. I feel emotional just thinking about it. Perfect movie to watch, just when we feel we may have it so bad and play victim. This story has always been special to me and my sister and I must have read the book on this heaps of times. Oh, the water pump scene at the end is emotionally devastating. To imagine all those hours and hours of labor without any direction (from Miss Sullivan) except a fierce intuition and then... "MOTHER, PAPA, SHE KNOWS!" The waterworks come fast here. I said this a loooong time ago, but Patty Duke presents herself with animal grace. She deserved every award she got and then some.
