If you are a movie lover, then surely you are aware of films that fall under the "underdog" genre. This means movies with a protagonist suffering at the outset but eventually rising above the challenge and going against all odds to emerge as the ultimate winner.

If you like watching such films to inspire you more, then you must take a look at this list of the top movies that fall under this genre:

'Forrest Gump.' This is a story of a simple man from Alabama who joins the U.S. Army and meets great people along the way and attains remarkable milestones in his life. Tom Hanks in the lead role did a great job on this one. It shares the lesson of not underestimating anyone for even those whom you think does not have any big plans can still end up doing something moving and valuable.

'Rocky.' Who would forget this classic film especially with its classic and timeless soundtrack? Nothing can beat the spirit of Rocky Balboa and the entire movie features the struggles more than the bloody fights that he has been through.

'The Karate Kid.' This is another classic inspirational movie that portrays the life of a young teenage boy who gets trained by an expert kung fu artist. Circumstances lead him to a big fight where he needs to win all the karate competition he joins.

'Braveheart.' One of the best films ever made by Mel Gibson and tells the story of the Scottish rebel who takes revenge for the death of all his loved ones. He becomes beaten and even tormented up to the end and was eventually publicly executed. The most memorable part of the film is the scream of 'Freedom!'

'Seabiscuit.' This is a film adaptation from the non-fiction book entitled 'Seabiscuit: An American Legend.' Seabiscuit is the name of a horse that is not well fed and finally becomes trained and moves on to become the best in all horse races.

'Slumdog Millionaire.' A story of a poor Indian boy straight from the slums and gets to win the contest of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' He does not only win over the challenges of poverty but also gets to have the love of his life. If only there was not any dance number in the end anymore.
