It helped me decide on my career.

I've never been so sick in my life than from trying to eat 50 hard boiled eggs.

The Passion changed my life. After I saw it I broke down and gave my life to Jesus. Best thing I ever did!

Beat me to it. It's what ultimately got me thinking about my career and, honestly, the horrific waste of time and energy that doing a sh*t job is.

Deliverence

It didn't really change my life at the time I saw it cause I thought that it was just Hollywood make believe.....but then I moved to Mississippi and realized that a lot of hollywood is based on some whacked out reality. I can't even think about it in the same manner anymore.

Thankfully I was able to escape.

La Strada the first film that made me believe movies can be more than just mindless entertainment.

Awesome. If you haven't seen "Amarcord" or "8 1/2" yet, then you should get right to it.
La Strada is defininately one of my favorites

There were like, snakes, on that plane :shocked:

I'm beginning to think I should see this Requiem for a Dream?

Yes; b/c you will realize that any "drug" movie made after or before Requiem is weak and meaningless. This includes "Traffic," or "Blow" or any of those other recent big Hollywood drug movies.

Requiem is my favorite movie that I can't possible watch again. It is rather disturbing, and brilliant.

Frightening how true Deliverance can be...The uncle of a good friend of mine is in Deliverance. he plays the doctor near the end of the film (He was the only doctor in town when they came to shoot, so he got a part).

I can't think of any.
There have been plenty of movies that inspire me to think about doing something else with my life. But I always get over it by the next day.

Wall Street
Boiler Room

Wait 'Til You're Older

It's a chinese movie that is sorta like the movie Big. I would definately recommend this movie but don't watch it around a girl cause they might catch you crying.

Magnolia: Most depressing movie ever, but also the best in showing how screwed up people are.

Tom Cruise tried and tried...but even he couldn't ruin that flick. PT Anderson is the shiznit.
