    You can try these.
    Empire of the Sun
    The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
    The Miracle Worker
    The Hiding Place
    I Will Fight No More Forever
    I believe Out of Africa is also based on a true story.

    North Country, The Whistleblower, Into the Wild, Never Back Down .. not sure if they fit all the three criteria that you've laid out but they definitely are inspirational.. at least were to me ;)

    Music of the Heart
    White Light Black Rain

    Not sure if true stories:
    Pay It Forward
    My Life Without Me

    This is a tough question because I've seen many inspirational films that have NOT made me cry or were not based on a true story. I'm being very selective in my judgement here; yet, these fit your parameters that I've seen in the past 5 years.

    Schindler's List is definitely one of a kind, because of the subject matter. But here are 2 that fit the description - 'Flywheel' and 'Fire-proof.'
