Life changing films

Personally the single most important film. After watching this the first time when I was 13, I had to watch it over and over again (literally). It has since lost most of its affect as a film, but the fact that this is the film that made me watch films merely as an hobby makes this the most important film for me.

The first European western I ever saw (if Spede Pasanen's comedies aren't included). Hugely entertaining, beautifully shot and surely "so cool".

One of the very first Japanese films I ever saw. I didn't understand much of it, but the overall feeling was something quite like no films have had. I haven't watched this one since the first time, it might be about a time for a rewatch.

After Halloween had been used to the point there was nothing left with it, I saw Pulp Fiction. I saw it again. And then again and again. The total times I've seen it might be somewhere between 25 and 30. I was young and full of enthusiasm. I loved the fact that no matter how many times I had already seen it, there was still something new. I've grown from that phase, but Pulp Fiction still remains as one of my all-time-favourites.

There had been many years since the last watched silent film. I remember wathcing silent comedies with my dad in my childhood, but that was that. I rented Potemkin from library when I must have been as old as 16. Loved the film, not as much as many other silent films I saw that age, but I believe Potemkin was the one that made me watch silent films again.

Total shit, but oh the fun we had with my friend at the age of six with the "Mortal Kombat artillery" made of cardboard.

Seen in theather at time it came and it made such an impact I had to have every single Toy Story stuff there was. I had a coulouring book and toys etc.

Seen in theather when I was too young to even remember now. Watched almost every time it was on TV, once even in Swedish without subtitles. The book was great too, though I read it the first time in my pre-teen years.

The first thing from the Pythons I saw. Still the greatest comedy of all time.

I bought the VHS-tape at the age of 8 and watched it too many times. Crap (like many other Spielberg's outputtings), but has still some nostalgia values.

Didn't like it much the first time I saw it (I had seen the mini-series first), but after countless rewatches it made a way to my favourites.

The first film by Lynch I saw. Seen with crappy pan&scan picture from TV, it still made an impact.

One of the very first films I bought on DVD. Not as violent as I had heard, but quite perfect in every other aspect.

One of my absolute favorites at the age of 13, Watched at least a dozen times in a year.

Seen the first time when I was about 5, with one eye closed in my grandparent's house with my two older brothers. I refreshed my mind with this one at the age of 14 or 15 and remembered amazingly much of it.

Propably a bit too obvious choise for this list as a Finn, but I can't leave it away since it's the only Finnish film I've seen so many times and the only war film I saw before the age of 7.
