Based on a true story "Hoosiers" is one of the most motivating movies you will ever watch. It reminds us of how powerful practice, discipline, and believing in yourself can be. When no one else thinks you can do it, when all odds are against you, when you think you can't win, just remember the hard work you put in and always bet on yourself!
Late to the party but I have a few suggestions lol
Sports movies where the underdog wins or overcomes significant obstacles. Perhaps "Friday Night Lights", "Cool Runnings" or "Rocky" haha these will get you out of your seat for sure. You may even feel so motivated to take a brisk 10 mile jog before sitting down to study.
A badass historical drama where, again, the underdogs save the day. Think "Hidden Figures" or "The Imitation Game" or something to that extent.
Third, a legal thriller might get you in that ~lawyer mood~ Many popular legal/CSI type shows are complete trash (though still entertaining) but there are a few out there worth watching. The Confession Tapes on Netflix is a good. Or better yet, rent Crown Heights on youtube and you will be ready to fight injustice without a law degree. SO GOOD, I should have listed this movie first.
Finally, TED talks are always pretty awesome. Everyone and their mother has seen the Simon Sinek one about "people don't buy what you do they buy why you do it" but this one is my personal fave: https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius
I find her relationship with writing very similar to my relationship with logical reasoning lol
Hacksaw Ridge had me in tears. I forbid myself from watching it with other people. It's probably the best movie I've seen in a few years, yet it gets very little publicity.
The Mist was the one movie that my husband was upset about, because I didn't warn him ahead of time, and he watched it and hates movies that end like that. LoL And yes, I laughed pretty hard. We both still do years later.
Let's just say I'm pretty sure it was meant as a funny suggestion.
I took a personality test, and I am most similar to Thanos...

What baffles me is the fact that you seem to be fine with the idea of The Mist and Planet of the Apes being motivational movies. @james1992812138@tristandesinor505
lol good point. but I'm also in the same boat of not having seen The Mist. I've never actually fully watched Planet of the Apes either come to think of it...
While I've yet to see it (plan to this week) I imagine RBG will be a pretty motivating movie for me at this time in my studies. I also like the Pursuit of Happyness. One of the best scenes below:
The Theory of Everything - the life Hawking lived after being diagnosed with ALS and everything he accomplished is mind-boggling. Also inspiring, his wife raised three kids and graduated with her PhD while caring for Hawking. Watching the movie empowered me!
@adipick708 I haven't really seen the mist so can't comment on that. Planet of the Apes is motivating, it should be motivational for scientists to treat animals better and be more mindful of their research.

@adipick708 one time we aren't in sync. Infinity war??? I guess it's motivating in terms of Thanos' story? That's all I'll say in case of potential spoilers.

THE RBG DOCUMENTARY 110%
@bizmuf495 Watch Gary Vee on Youtube
After "Wonder Woman" because Amazons (sigh) (real or not), my repeatable must-see motivational movie is "Invincible" with Mark Wahlberg.

Somehow I found war movies are great for motivation.

The Great Dictator - Charlie Chaplin
Das Boot
