A personal list: Films with cathartic moments that changed you and me. Now I'm incredibly well-adjusted!

Basically, movies that changed your life/or the way you view it.

Martyrs. Never thought any film maker would be crazy enough to make something like that.

goochspot · 07-07-2009, 06:03 PM

The one that comes to mind first is Fight Club.

Another one would be Magnolia.

Also, The Last Temptation of Christ

joenostalgia23 · 07-07-2009, 06:20 PM

American History X and 25th Hour.

I just made my wife watch 25th hour. I saw it in the theater and have watched my dvd copy at least 5 times. I can't wait for it to come to Blu.

Gone Baby Gone...

As a parent you think about the ending way after the movies had done and wonder what would you have done.

Very true. Gone Baby Gone is one of those movies that I loved the first time I watched it, but I don't think I could see it again. At least not for a long time. Ben Afleck needs to direct another film because he knocked this one out of the park.

Leaving Las Vegas

The Fountain

Sophies Choice

Band of Brothers

I think I might know where you are coming from. its been a long while since I have been in trouble too.

threefiftyrocket · 07-07-2009, 11:18 PM

I would have to say, Ridley Scott's "White Squall"

Where we go one, we go all. Parts of my life, that is what got me through. That will always be one of my faves...

carpaltonnel · 07-07-2009, 11:18 PM

after looking over everyones choices you almost can understand without an explanation. strange and interesting too is that almost all the movies are really good ones. oh I totally get the garden state one..there is hope.

Great choice

Shawshank Redemption, American History X, American Beauty, Fight Club and of course at top of the list... Garden State.

I will also say Yes Man. I've been a No Man recently and this movie helped.
