If you ask me I think the award-winning documentary feature Man on the Wire (2008) was an extremely original and no movie similar or recreation can compete. The main character Philippe Petit (AKA the Man on the Wire) was living by his mind and free will, not a scheduled calendar/habits that most humans do.

The movie shows the struggles, growth, and accomplishments of Philippe and his crew. The stunts got bigger and bigger until he did the stunt that was unimaginable to most, tightrope across the Twin Towers. That mission on it's own could have been another movie. The crew faces a decent amount of difficulties like having to hid from security, general fear of walking the rope, etc. As usually Mr. Petit completed the task.

This movie open my eyes and showed me that it's okay to be risky and do what you want instead of what is planned. Anyone can watch this movie and learn a lesson, you don't just have to be an insanely risky tightrope walker, no matter who you are you'll definitely be able to take this movie and use the lessons in your own personal life.
