Early Spielberg movies of the late 70's and Pre 1966 Walt Disney feature films. That alone inspired me to go work for the Walt Disney Co. which I did for 6 years.

Superman: The Movie - I do believe a man can fly
Back to the Future - The best car for a time machine is a DeLorean
Alien - In space no one can hear you scream
Spider-Man - With great power comes great responsibilities
The Terminator - Judgment Day is coming and he'll be back
Ghostbusters - It's okay to be slimed and Bill Murray is dating a dog and don't mess with the Stay Puf marshmallow man
Batman: The Movie - always have a can of shark repellant handy

Passion of the christ -I would think about everything I did twice and think back on the movie.

Mine are:

Apocalypse now.A mulitlayered movie."Cut a soldier in half,and offer him a band-aid." Probably incorrect quote,but you get the essence.

Se7en:Makes you relize the importance of directors.Same who wrote it,wrote '8MM' and look at that travesty of a movie.

Fight club:Might be a cliche,but opened my eyes to some of our every days lies.

Clerks and Clerks II taught me that I do not want to keep clerking it in all my life. Mel Brooks' films taught me that there are lines when making jokes.

ZedsDead · 09-09-2009, 03:30 AM

Good Will Hunting and Fog of War immediately jump to mind. Both are at watched at least annually for me.

Kaiju · 09-09-2009, 03:46 AM

Schindler's List, Amelie, Adventureland, American Beauty, Ghost World

Blu Myers · 09-09-2009, 03:47 AM

The two most influential movies in my life are Halloween (1978) and The Crow (1994). These are the only 2 movies that I have bought countless times once any new edition is released. I've owned 5 different releases of Halloween (vhs to blu-ray) and 3 releases of The Crow (still awaiting US blu-ray).

Another honorable mention is the original Rocky. I remember watching it with my dad in the early 80s and it has always held a special place in my life.

koontz1973 · 09-09-2009, 04:16 AM

All films influence me, some for good, some bad. Ones that have had a profound effect on me through life though would be the classic films like,

To Kill a Mockingbird
Zulu
Cape Fear (original)
Battle of Britain
Angels with Dirty Faces
Always

Blu_balls · 09-09-2009, 04:16 AM

Dead Poets Society.....taught me to look at the world from a different perspective sometimes

Please space your posts

Close Encounters of The Third Kind, I often dream about aliens invading and me running away from them.
Odd really, because even though it's a nightmare, I'm never scared, only fascinated and elated even long after I wake up.

Kryptonic · 09-09-2009, 09:23 AM

Unbreakable has really had an effect on me these last few years.

Lt. Aldo Raine · 09-09-2009, 09:34 AM

Pay It Forward......I have since tried to follow this story's message by doing the things I can for others.....

dvd_mazter · 09-09-2009, 12:00 PM

Star Wars Original Trilogy (Basically these movies began my passion for film at such a young age)

T2: Judgment Day (I watch this for the first time when I was about 6 or 7 and was amazed by it and even 12 years later, it is still in my top 5 films of all time)

Billy Madison & Happy Gilmore (These two movies by still one of my favs Adam Sandler created an appreciate for comedy and me & my cousin would watch both films every single day at the cabin.)

Spider-man (While Sp2 is my favourite, I was 12 at the time of the release and I had never been more excited for a movie (I actually pre-bought tickets 2 months in advance). I saw i three times in theatres and absolutely loved it. Spider-man was always my favourite Marvel character and I was stunned by the effects at the time.)

I'm wondering what you mean by that, not a hack, just curious?

Logan

uziel5000 · 09-09-2009, 02:19 PM

Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart and Gladiator totally inspire me to fight for what I believe in.

Schindler's List has had a huge impact in my life.

Star Trek gives me hope we can create a better world.
