Default Movie about charity for junior high students

I'm looking for something unique to show to my seventh grade students, especially around the holidays. We do a holiday project that involves being charitable, and I'd like to kick off the project with something along these lines. Is there anything that the average teen has not seen that might fit this idea?

"Pay it Forward". A great movie with an amazing message. It isn't seasonal, but then again, charity shouldn't need to be seasonal.

You are right about this one. It's one of my favorites. Problem is it is used in our high school. In fact, I used to show it to tenth graders, when I taught at the high school. I love the concept.
