The World’s Fastest Indian, starring Anthony Hopkins. It inspired me to build a motorcycle, modify it a few times and ride it. Just remembering the movie makes me want to do it again!
Since a standalone miniseries qualifies, it’s definitely The Queen’s Gambit for me. The combination of it being fantastic all around and the lack of anything to do during 2020, I’m sure many other people picked up chess because of Queen’s Gambit. I don’t have the talent or genius of Beth, but it was kind of fun while it lasted.
Did you learn to play against a computer or with people? I went through a computer chess phase for a while, even watching YouTube tutorials about opening moves and such. I probably lost a hundred times before I finally beat the PC, and that was only on level 7.
I’m torn between two answers. I want to say Mostly Martha for how it introduced me to cooking and foodie movies, but Vin reminded me that the honest answer is actually probably the anti-foodie movie 😂 — Silence of the Lambs — because it inspired me to study psychology more. Nothing to do with fava beans though, no thanks, I don’t want any Chianti either. 😏
I'm going with Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. It inspired me to make my hair blonde'ish, dig deeper into history and find some adventures! Maybe this doesn't qualify as a hobby, but I enjoyed myself immensely during this stint :D
Like just about every boy from my generation, The Karate Kid had me begging my mom for karate lessons.

I learned playing against people. I did eventually play against a computer, but it eventually took too much of my time. As these things do.
Miss Potter had me all about watercolor painting.

It took a while to get there but we finally got a winner. Congratulations, Dave Schmidt. You get to choose Monday's question.
Are we required to have actually done the hobby or are we talking pure wish I could that?! :D
Ehhhh...well, you had to try it, at least. :)
Hmm...
Point Break.
No, just kidding. Afraid of heights.
I figured you meant the surfing.
