// gonna have to go ahead and add New Wave Hookers, 'cause that one was a life changer for sure.
I'm not so sure what exactly the level of life changing impact those movies made, but they were all certainly influential in one way or another.

...although I find it hard to say that a movie "changed" my life. Maybe gave me an insight or two, but nothing dramatic.

The Life of Brian - Monty Python
The Meaning of Life - Monty Python
2001 A Space Odyssey
Blade Runner
While all of these movies changed my attitude about life to a certain extent, only The Life of Brian actually changed my life. The fact that I was a fan of the movie cost me a girlfriend in college. Her father was a minister and proclaimed the movie to be blasphemous. I told my girlfriend my opinion of her father's pronouncement. End of girlfriend.

|  | No need to ask, he's a smooth... Moderator | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: West Midlands UK | | | I've had a think about this, and whilst I'm a big movie fan (most of my TV viewing is movies) and have lots of favourite films, I'm having a hard time naming even one that actually "changed my life" in the way I think is meant here.
Life-changing books, yeah. Movies? No, not for me. I'm open to suggestions, though.

Labyrinth (it's very surreal)
Aliens (my parents let me watch this when I was about 10, I was sooo scared for weeks afterwards)
Terminator
Blair Witch Project (not scary but I liked it for the creepy woods, I like creepy woods)
also just about every hit comedy/action movie from the 80's - the goonies/the lost boys/ghost busters/back to the future, 16 candles etc..too many to list - they all changed me a lot, they really did. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
