10 Best Mojo Movies

MojoDave’s Mojo Movies

Movies are watched by millions and can increase your mojo. But there are so many. Where do you start? Well, I have looked at some best lists for you and created my own list. It is hand-selected specifically to increase your mojo. It will inspire your mojo.
Many sources make lists. I have used them to build mine for you. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used the American Film Institute’s Top 100, Rotten Tomatoes Classic Movies, IMDB’s Ultimate List, and my own experience with movies as my sources. I have watched every movie on my list at least once. In compiling my list, I emphasized increasing your mojo. I excluded anything that was too sad or had a political agenda. These aren’t meant to be anyone’s most popular movies, or best movies, or movies the critics liked best. They are chosen to help you. Here 's my list for you:
  1. 12 Angry Men - This is such a good film that it is at the top of my list. Each jury member has something to teach the viewer. Henry Fonda earns his reputation with this one. He is challenged to get a consensus from many different people. A masterpiece by Sidney Lumet.
  2. Groundhog Day - Bill Murray is funny and profound at the same time. He doesn’t have to react the way he does, But his behavior after realizing his predicament is classic and uplifting.
  3. To Kill a Mockingbird - You have to like Atticus Finch. He has mojo, but more importantly, he is fair when it isn’t popular to be so. There is a priceless scene at the end when Scout sees Boo Radley’s pale, white face watching her brother without fearing him at all. I love it.
  4. Rocky - How many movies can say that they have turned a relatively obscure location into a cultural icon (the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum)? You can increase your mojo with this movie even if you don’t like boxing, Philadelphia, or Sylvester Stallone’s accent.
  5. It’s A Wonderful Life - This movie is a little schmaltzy but contains a nice theme.
  6. Good Will Hunting - As with any good ,pvoe, this one will make you laugh, cry, and think. As a graduate of the “Institute” myself, I enjoyed seeing it portrayed in a way in which I agreed.
  7. The Pursuit Of Happyness - Will Smith’s character overcomes every obstacle. If not for his persistence, you wouldn’t get and mojo from this woeful story.
  8. Saving Private Ryan - THere are a lot of characters in this one who have tremendous mojo, especially Tom Hanks' Captain Miller. The collective mojo of this cast overcomes the WWII setting.
  9. Rudy - Despite the unrealistic plot, Sean Astin’s performance can help any viewers mojo.
  10. Remember The Titans - Denzel Washington works magic from an impossible position. Some priceless music is included for your enjoyment and mojo building.

Let this list be your introduction to the movies, your mojo builder, or anything else.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
