Some movies are fun, some movies are scary and some movies are trash!
But sometimes you come across a movie that has some real impact on your live. Be it a deep, heart-felt message, or the start of a live long
fandom, or that one movie which connects you to a loved person (best friend, partner, parents...).

Do you have one of those kind of movies? Which one is it? And why?
Share as much or as little you want.

For me that kind of movie were the original three Star Wars movies:
For the first time did I see what SciFi could be, the huge spaceships, the walkers, the battles and lightsaber fights.
Those really opened my little 6 year old mind for bigger fantasies :)

It's funny you know, I was just think about starting a similar thread to this. I was think more along the lines of films that not only influenced you but those films that you wished you could transport yourself too and live in that reality. My favourite for this was "Logan's Run" I saw myself as Jessica (Jenny Agutter). It was also the film that got me into Si-Fi and has influenced my choices in movie tastes ever since.

What I liked the most was the distance away from my childhood reality. I wasn't old enough to see the film when it had its theatrical release but watched it on TV with my family, they all thought it was lame. I watched every second with a sense of something else, joy, longing and sadness. I liked the fashion and tried to adapt my clothing and watched the film at every opportunity when it was shown on TV. It was one of the first VHS tapes I hired from the rental shops and then when I was able I purchased it, later replacing it with a DVD copy. It was and still is my escape from reality.

On Star Wars, I was also rather taken by those worlds and have enjoyed the whole series of movies. For me again they were a way to transport myself into another reality, you can guess who I wanted to be in those films i'm sure, and it wasn't Chewbacca!

Stories like yours show how exciting it can be how little things in our childhood influence us and how we develope.
In our movie taste and as people as well

Ginger Snaps (just the first movie mostly), & Jennifer’s Body, & The Love Witch.  All pieces of media I watched when I was in HS.  It was my escapism at the time.  I still love all the movies.

Angel Dust

when i was a kid, Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride were probably my favorite movies. my friends sometimes tell me that my art style has vague Burton-esque vibes and it makes me kinda giddy. 

the movie Firecracker ruined my brain and made me love bad films

Hedwig and the Angry Inch gave me a rockin' musical to sort of cling to as a person in the LGBT community. i just really resonate with it.

Probably Nightmare on Elm Street 3. First saw it as a kid because it was dubbed onto an Aladdin casette lmao, so it'd come up in the middle of the film. Gave me nightmares for years, but also probably why I'm into horror films now so
