Movies that impacted your life or moved you

The Seventh Seal, by Ingmar Bergmen. It's so overwhelmingly powerful if you can get passed it's age and the fact that they speak swedish. It has such a good premise, plot, and theme. It's pretty much all about Death and Existentialism, literally, there's a guy who plays Death, and he likes chess. Ripped straight from Soren Kieerkangaard, it's plays like a classic parable and beautifully so. This film really did change how I view life and god.

Death: When next we meet, the hour will strike for you and your friends.
Block: And you will reveal your secrets?
Death: I have no secrets.
Block: So you know nothing?
Death: I am unknowing.
 
^ Yes, yes yes! That film really touched me.... in a dark way but not bad necessarily.

The Bicycle Thief - Things don't always work out like roses. And about roses and with a similar theme...

The Days of Wine and Roses - If you've seen it, you'll know why.
 
White chicks on black dick IV - this really brought ground breaking emotional turmoil to a white girl getting a black cock in her asshole.

Ok, ok someone had to make the joke...

Apocalypse now made me think a lot differently about war and sanity.

Who's afraid of virginia woolf - just a great movie about messed up relationships.
 
Man these are some really good movies, ill be sure to check out the seventh seal that sounds awesome.
 
ok well these arent my absolute favorites, or best movies ever....buy they had the biggest impact on me,

Garden State- I met a girl randomly in a different city (Harrisburg) and after spending 3 days with her non stop, we decided to pull out a map, and just drive wherever we ponited and leave everything behind after watching this movie. We were gone on the road for about 8 days...and then we ran out of drugs and money, so we came back home refueled, and roadtripped again across the country, but this time with a plan and destination. We ended up moving in together some 2000 miles from home just because we thought it would be a fun experience lol

Scarface- I saw this movie with some older kids, and it just all seemed soo cool at the time. I got it in my head that I wanted to be a bad ass gangster whose power and wealth came from cocaine....only problem was I ended up powerless to the cocaine, and well you all know how that story goes

That's quite an impact it had on you. =D

I would go for:
Magnolia
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Lost In Translation
Hedwig And The Angry Inch
Buffalo 66
Fight Club
Before Sunrise/Sunset
American Beauty

Each one has made me look at not only myself, but the rest of humanity in different ways. I genuinely believe that those films have helped change me as an individual. I think I've become more generous, considerate, and less materialistic. They're particularly great films to watch when I start doubting myself because I always find them empowering. I'd also like to mention the TV series Six Feet Under, as it's probably the one thing that's inspired me the most. <3
 
The Exorcist...

When it came out I was 11 y/o, my mother not knowing anything about this movie took me and my brother. I wasn't the same for 5 years! I could NEVER sleep by myself, I actually thought a demon was going to possess me and then I became so obsessed with the movie that I watched it like 100 times. I still own it and will still watch it from time to time just to know that I can be alright after viewing it! 8o8o8o
 
Into the Wild This film, this book, and this MAN inspired my life probably more than anything. He is one of my heroes. His courage to not give a shit about anything and do whatever the hell he wanted in life (and no I don't think he's an idiot because he died, I think he's ADMIRABLE because he had the guts to try what he wanted to do)gave ME the courage to live my dreams. If he could do it, so could I. Also, after seeing the movie I read the book, and learned a lot more about him and he was weirdly like me in a lot of ways.. I always felt he was a soul mate of mine, in a way.

Crazy Sexy Cancer This wasn't a theatrical film. It's a documentary about Kris Carr, a woman who was diagnosed with end stage, "untreatable" cancer, and chose to fight it every way she could, using mostly diet and holistic methods. Having battled for years with pretty bad health stuff when I saw this movie, I was completely and totally inspired. I truly idolize Kris, everything about her I could relate to, and her spirit and zest for life was contagious. I feel this film saved me in a way, because she just gave me so much hope and made me want to fight for my health as well. I am doing much better now and am so glad I didn't give up!

The Beach Like so many people, this film, and especially the book, completely inspired me to travel and seek some sort of "outside of the box" experience. This movie just.. does something for me, it awakens some part of my soul, some desire to find adventure and a perfect magical place that may exist out there somewhere. I love it, I have read the book like 4 times and seen the movie probably double that and will never get sick of it.
 
American History X and Glory. Both had very dramatic parts that the actors pulled off VERY WELL (Denzel getting whipped for example) and the many different aspects they brought out about racism.

Oh and the end of The Butterfly Effect (the original, not the theatrical ending) did make me a bit teary eyed.
 
American history X is alright but i dont like the way it ended. I mean, what are they trying to say, that if you change your racist ways your gonna get blasted? Stay racist? I mean, they try and portray like racism gets you nowhere aswell, but at the same time portray that it did actually provide edwards char with quite a good lifestyle, fun, money and power wise(while out of prison atleast). Maybe i just didnt think about it enough but thats just how i saw it.
