The description above about challenging my preconceptions and rethinking my place in the universe is exactly how some of these films affected me. Some of these are thought-provoking and continue to be rewarding as I watch them again at different points in my life.
Others -for example, the first 3 on the list, Brother from Another Planet, The Fly- are fun movies I'm glad I've seen, but I can't say they affected my life in any meaningful way.

Watched Looper last weekend a time travel movie seemed to have some mistakes in logic and continuity of time travelers. I can see how someone might say it could change your life or the way you think about things.
ReplyDeletei do want to see that one, but i don't generally like time travel stories. the possibilities for logic problems are endless. i often end up banging my head against a wall and repeating "no" and "oh, please" a lot. lol
