The movie you will never forget?

[Movie mogul]

Which movie have you seen that has made an impact on you and you know you will never forget? Hard question...

[Doomsday]

(Lets see how many people put LOTR)

[freakyplatypus]

Oh... you know... that one movie... with the guy

[mentiroso]

Kind of hard to say but I know glory had an impact on me when it came out. I was only 12 or 13. I never really understood how war was and the Civil War was pretty messed up. Just made me realize how lucky I was not to have to do that.

Was just thinking the same thing. FOTR and TTT have just both become the "default answers" in virtually every thread on the board :sleepy:

Tell me about it! :D

[Movie mogul]

You have to admit there pretty amazing! The trilogy is nearly as grand as the book! naturally people will say there unforgettable movies?

[Doomsday]

I'm just sick of the super fans who think they're the greatest movies of all time and if you try to argue with them they rip your head off. Are they good movies? Definitely! Are they the greatest works of cinema art ever to hit the screen? No f-ing way. They're good movies, don't get me wrong, but if I try to ask questions as to plot holes or some technical mistake, people say "DON'T SAY THAT YOU'RE WRONG IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!" :rolleyes:

[Spike2002]

Freddy Vs. Jason has, undoubtedly, had a really big impact on me!!!!! Before Freddy Vs. Jason, I had seen NOES 1 and a few other horror movies and I hated them all. But after I saw the trailer for Freddy Vs. Jason (attached to Matrix: Reloaded) I grew to love all horror movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

[JackBauer]

gofather part I and the crow had a big impact on me...yeah...they brought warm feelings to my heart :D

in 60 years i'll still remember... ;)

[memphisbutcher]

i do not know about "an impact" but the movie that made me question everything the first time i saw it was The Game.

a movie that has stayed with me just because i enjoyed it so much was Pulp Fiction

[WDTSF]

Cry Freedom and The Laramie Project

[Tony Montana]

Scarface
Carlitos Way
Fight Club
Se7en
21 Grams
Equilibrium
City of God
Killers
Godfather

[LOTRNUT04]

dont ask me why, but i always remember, and most likely always will remember the movie, THE STING.

[Xorply]

Definately The Crow. Maybe moreso because he died and you just had this sense of the "Lee" legacy when that hit the news. Then there was an unusual anticipation as it got closer to the movie's release date. And when I finally saw the movie.... holy crow! I got out and immediately got back in line and watched it again. Amazing.

And for impact in a negative sense that would have to be Phantom Menace... all my hopes and wishes and anticipation, shot to $hit like a bucket 'o poo.

[FrankTheBunny]

Star Wars Original Trilogy, all three of those movies I will always remember. They were such a large part of my childhood and my teenage life, that there is no way I could ever forget them.

[Gone In 60sec]

i would have to say
John Q
Good Will Hunting
in a way Cast Away
black Hawk Down my first real war movie i saw that was like wow im forutune it not to be in a war
and others ill put on when i remember them

[droidguy1119]

The Original Star Wars Trilogy and Back to the Future will remain with me forever, but the two most impressionable movies I saw during my childhood were Ghostbusters, the first movie I ever saw, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Now, I remember being seriously moved the first time I saw Forrest Gump, and Fight Club and Se7en showed me some of the smartest filmmaking of my generation. The Lord of the Rings movies, while the default answer, as you say, did blow me away when I first saw Fellowship -- and come on. You'll still have copies on your shelf in 40 years...

[Lachesis]

Edward Scissorhands. Was obsessed with it for years.

[adnamasevoltam]

most: Braveheart, Schindler's List, and Vanilla Sky

Matrix
Memento
Exorcist

[Superman is #1]

Superman:)http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/superman1.gif

[Kable24]

For me it is Black Hawk Down. Just because at the time it happened, I was the same age as the Rangers who were caught in that Hell and SFC. Randy Shughart is from my hometown area. His parents bought my grandmothers house in New Germantown.

[HellaGood]

Do movies really have a huge impact on you? I've never really seen one that changes the way i look on life, the closest would be matrix just because it has so many deep questions in it, but I didnt like the actual film...

[Knerys]

Seeing that movies are my passion....too many to list...

[redman]

The power of one

i remember seeing this as a kid and it was such a great movie

[Tara]

Trainspotting

Made me realise that there is a what people consider cool and then there is the other side of it (back when i though that it was cool to take drugs, granted, i was like, 12, but i still thought it would be really cool. this movie got me over this phase)

[ehinds]

Besides Star Wars and LOTR...

Anybody remember "Milo and Otis"? And the movie "Sleuth".

[Rogue Program]

^^nice! Milo and Otis ruled!

Anyway for me Schindler's List and Titanic.

[lotrfreak]

Spider-Man. I went to go see it so many times, I lost count. I even skipped a final exam to go see it. I was so moved, I dropped out of the college I was attending to learn more about filmmaking.
I remember the first time I saw it, I stepped outside the theatre and just sat on the curb thinking about how cool it was. I went back in to see it again, then after that, I had trouble driving home because I kept daydreaming about me being spidey, swinging around fighting bad guys.

[Starwars411]

<<<<<--------- Just look at my screen name and you'll know.

The whole saga.

Thirty Posts!!!!!!!!!

[evenstar]

Fight Club- the rant on how materialistic a population, wasting our lifes we have become really made me think and messed with my head. I love that film, fantastic.

[Pwnst1k]

How can you ask? There are to many. Here are mine that I won't soon forget:

Reservoir Dogs
Fight Club
LOTR Trilogy (yep)
Matrix Trilogy (even though I hated the last one)
Godfather Trilogy (Hated the last one in this trilogy also :) )

[Rogue]

Gone with the Wind - my favorite movie of all time. I love the way it shows that even through war, people can find their strength and carry on. Scarlett is my favorite heroine of all time. One tough lady and Vivian Leigh portrayed her perfectly.

Schindler's List - One of the most touching films I've ever seen.

LOTR (all three, I'm not a fanatic but it did have an impact) - Goes to show what true friendship can accomplish.


A Clockwork Orange (that **** will mess with your head :eek: ) - The whole premise behind the story just blows me away. I don't even know where to begin with this one.

Platoon- Damn powerful film. The best film about Vietnam, I'd venture to say. It's brutal and heartbreaking. If you haven't seen it- SEE IT.

[SQueek]

[CoanBread751]

Pulp Fiction, because it got me into my passion, Film Making.

[collegeboy]

Star Wars Trilogy- saw it when I was a kid and I became hooked into the whole world of it!

[Boone]

[Optimus Magnus]

Transformers, although it wasn't actually the series or the movie (which rock anyway) that affected me, it was Optimus Prime: a character like him has not graced TV screens in a long while (his recent incarnations have been total bastardisations), and I fear we shall never see his kind again

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King; because it shows what can be done when you step up to the plate so to speak

Donnie Darko, I've never felt so humbled by a teenage character in a movie before, but after what Donnie did at the end of that movie I can't help but feel moved and glad that despite the growing 'gangsta' culture in society teenagers, its good to know, even if only in films, such good people exist

Optimus Prime: inspired me

Aragorn: strengthened me

Donnie Darko: humbled me

That's all

[Radiohead]

life is beautiful and princess bride.

[Chachi]

Many movies have moved/inspired me. But there is one that stands out like a sore thumb. I went to go see We Were Soldiers. I went to the movie with about 8 people most were my friends, one was my brother, and one was my father. He asked to come along as we were going out the door. Me and my friends are all 22 or 23 at the time and were over the whole "can't be seen with mom/dad thing".

All of my friends had already known that my dad was in Vietnam. They also knew he was a helicopter pilot. None of us could actually put two and two together until we saw that film. When we left the theater all my friends couldn't even look at my dad in the eyes. It was out of respect and fear to see him cry. He didn't at the theater but did at home. That was weird. We had to leave the house as soon as possible. The rest of the night all I heard out of my friends was how impressed they were with my dad. He finally recieved some well over due respect.

The next day we, my dad and me, talked about the movie. He expressed so much anger towards movies like Platoon, Casualties of War, Apocolipse Now, etc., etc. He was so infuriated that the only images coming out of that war were images of the few, very few, scum buckets that acted in unprofessional ways. It made it look like everyone in Vietnam was a drugged up, raping, bystandar killing wacko. He deserved a movie like this. It was unfortunately 20 years too late.

Ummm... I would have to say We were soldiers. That movie hits a soft spot on me. It just made me think how I would feel if I had to leave my family and go to vietnam. It makes me think about my girlfriend alot. (now fiance (think I spelled it right) What if you had to leave the one you love. Knowing you might not come back. Then I pictured her getting the letter from the taxi driver. Man thats some rough stuff.

Dunno....movies are my lifestyle really, my recreation and hobby, Ive seen tons among tons of em....but as a person, and the way I approach life...no film has done anything to change that....I use movies as an escape, not a source for guidance really...and If I had to pick one..I couldn't...

[TTinyDancer333]

21 Grams. When I left the theatre I was so emotionally drained! I mean it just affected me so much. It really got me thinking about life, love, and death like no other movie has. I really recommend it. I think also the fact that the performances were so real and precise helped alot as well.

[sbcboy32]

probably the original planet of the apes (my vote for best ending of all time), rocky, and saving private ryan, oh and if it counts band of brothers that really moved me, even more than the book did.

[sp3cies]

The first movie that came to mind reading the question was Requiem for a Dream, so that should be very high up there for me.

[stage_tempest]

Okay films that I will never forget

1 Memento - so many features to that film that create images that just last, from the spitting in the drink, to the photo of Guy's character smeared in blood because he had killed his wife's killler, knowing that he was going to be continually used and never know the truth etc etc
2 Three Colours Red - no matter how many times I view that film I always ponder over the ending, whehter things happen, whether someone was driving the characters into that direction
3 Three Colours Blue - where Juliette's character has to try and kill a mouse is just gripping
4 Matrix - walked out thinking oh my god esp after the lobby scene
5 Barberella - scifi camp but lots of fun
6 The Others - Nicole Kidman flick - never saw the ending coming and it was really good and underrated film
7 Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer - bloody freaky film because you know it can happen, you know it can
