Films that left an impact on my life

Ever since I was in the fifth grade, films have been a big part of my life. My hobby and passion started at a young age due to the fact that my family always moved, and out of my loneliness and transition of making new friends all over again, i resorted to movies. I would go to the public library on my spare time and read out of this gigantic Academy Awards book. This book was like my guide for the first years of my hobby. The first films that I watched that really impacted my life in some way were Forrest Gump, and Schindlers List. These two films although very different were both very influential in my life at the time. As I grew older I became skeptical of the Academy Awards and all the mistakes they were making with the nominations (and still do) that I branched out and began finding other sources to enhance my film knowledge. Today some films that stand out for me and have not only been memorable for me but also the entire film industry would be,

- A Clockwork Orange
- Taxi Driver
- Apocalypse Now
- Citizane Kane
- The Godfather Part 1 and 2
- Pulp Fiction
- Bicycle Thieves
- M
- Memento
- Magnolia
- Goodfellas
- Raging Bull
- There Will Be Blood
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Psycho
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Barton Fink
- The Seventh Seal
- Fanny and Alexander
- 8 1/2

The List could go on. There are so many amazing films out there from all over the world, not just the United States. I hope my passion for films is evident through my blogs, and I want people who read this to know that I highly recommend the films above, there movies that need to be scene at least once before you die. At least if your in love with films like I am.
