Most Influential Film In Your Life and Why?

[Shanegerous]

Fight club definitely

 

[gsgoonsquad]

This made me want to rob a casino

This really opened my eyes to the still very current issue of racism. Severe acts of hating another race.
When Milky was tricked and beaten to death

Fight Club:
It really put into perspective of acquiring material items can't make your life that much better.

American History X:
Shows how meaningless hating other groups that are different from you is.

The Matrix. I tumbled down the rabbit hole.

Office Space...my life is spent in a cubicle and it reminds me that in the long run you have to do something you like.

 

[ace rawstein]

keep fighting!! even if the odds are stacked against you!

 

[oh you mad]

 

[vendetta]

Been hooked ever since.  If you want you can delve into the deeper meaning of good v evil, government control, etc. or you can kick back and enjoy it as just a movie.

This is the single most important film(s) that I've ever seen.
The movie reinforced my parents lessons of where I came from, and how much I owe it to my ancestors and myself to succeed.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The scene where the Captain takes Brad Pitt to the brothel and strips off his clothes to show his tattoos since he's a goddamn artist, that made me wanna pursue writing full time and make it more than just a hobby.

I gotta go with Boomerang. Eddie was too smooth to me as a kid. Laying down game flat and keep it moving. I still do the head tilt at times when I see a bad one.

I swore my motto was. "If I hit it and I lose interest that aint my fault."

 

[P A Z]

why City of God? I watched it in '02. I was a senior in HS and trying to figure out what I was going to do with myself. I was under a lot of stress applying to colleges, I hated my job at the movie theater, had issues with my parents, etc. After watching this I realized that all these suburban kid troubles aren't %*!% in comparison to what a lot of people go through. Not once was my life threatened like the kids in this movie. Everything I went through or was going through wasn't that bad after all.

Influential because it made me grow up real quick

Made me wanna stop using dope before I become like this.

 

[Pathos]

everybody pays homage to Martin Luther King Jr. (rightly) but if Malcolm was as "pro-Christianity" (

) as Martin, he'd have a holiday and monument too.
