| Question for Mynder Quote:
The last movie I saw that impacted me was "Mysterious Skin". It is not a new movie, but I saw it on DVD recently. It had an disturbing impact because of the subject, child molestation and its aftermath. Also recently saw the documentary "No End in Sight" about the mismanagement of the war in Iraq. Tragic. | |

Very quickly: For decriptions, check out the IMDB, they have summaries, casts and whatnot. I'll just comment on the ways they touched me: Peaceful Warrior: about doing what you love, against all the odds. Focusing on the voyage, not the goal. Being aware and deciding in the now. About not blaming anything on others. The Forbidden Kingdom: The soundtrack, especially the intro title, stirred me, somehow. In some way, the whole movie feels like recharging my inner batteries. Maybe it's the "anybody can do great things" theme, I can't really say. Watchmen: Outstanding atmosphere! The soundtrack and the movie work together to create a somewhat melancholic scenario with the most human "superheroes" I ever saw. The good and the bad, side by side, and in the end, who knows what's what anymore? The Boat That Rocked: Another variation on the "do what you love" theme. This one rocks. Literally. And it has STYLE.

Much Ado about Nothing - Just makes me feel all squishy inside - can watch it over and over again, my husband just says "how can you be watching that again". He listens to songs over and over again why can't I watch a movie over and over again? I didn't even think twice in one night and again the next day was too much   Pride and Predijuce does the same thing for me. What can I say? I'm a girl. |

I peeked at your website. Surprised most of it is in German, but the english ones made me realize the underappreciated nature of poetry. I loved it as a child but abandoned it as an adult. Thank you for reminding me of the value. | |

The movie that impacted my life from the beginning: The Crow (only the first one) I think that through this movie, I could have subconsiously manifested the death of my fiance right after our baby was born. Since then, there have been others... The Last Samauri This movie inspired me to open my mind to other kinds of people, other ways of living, and the ability to respect things that I formally would not. Donnie Darko Inspired me to contemplate the different aspects of reality and perception. Requiem for a Dream Reminded me about the aweful self-destruction of associating with drugs and the attachment to money. The Bourne Identity Everytime I watch this movie, it puts me in a mode to amplify all of my actions and results regardless of any bounderies I may have. It also inspires me to develop many aspects of self-discipline to help support these actions and results. Wall-E This struck a very deep note in me concerning my cause as a father to my daughter. Let's just say, it inspired me to take action to give her a better life with me.  The Punisher Helped me to realize a set of values that I need to hold close to myself concerning the invasion of other people into my life. These are some, and there are more but I'm in hurry here and well, I'm sure you get the idea.
