why movies make the best pastime or how i understood the world better after watching good will hunting or...

have you ever watched a movie that absolutely changed the way you look at the world? A movie that gave you a new outlook on life? A movie that made you cry, or cheer, or both?

i had a friend tell me that he cried when he watched the amityville horror remake. that's not what i'm talking about. i was in a theater where i laughed till i cried, watching johnny knoxville and friends on a big screen. that's not what i'm talking about either.

i'm not talking about star wars episode 3 or even fun with dick and jane (also a remake), even if they did make you cheer at the end.

what movies have really challenged your brain to think about the beauty of life, love, or God in a more meaningful way? tell me about those movies.
