1. High Fidelity
2. American Beauty
3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
4. Girl, Interrupted
5. Schindler's List</div>

That's an extremely tough question, I can't honestly say that a lot of movies really changed my life, but I'll give this one a go....

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>5) Goonies, This was the first movie I ever saw in theatres

4) Excalibur, this movie helped lead me to interest in medieval combat and history.

3) The Beach Girls, it was an old movie that I had on tape, there were a lot of tittie shots, the first time I worshipped at the Shrine was to this movie =)

2) Gandhi, a documentary on the life of the Mahatma, I'd say this movie changed me in that this led me to a great interest in Gandhi and studying various religions such as Islam, Christianity, Jewish, Hindu, and others. This eventually led me into studying other older religions, and as a result, today I am extremely knowledgeable in many different dominant religions.

1) The Hobbit, I first saw this movie when I was about 2 years old, and this led me to a great interest in the story, and I read the book The Hobbit shortly after, because of this movie, I learned to read and write at a very young age. My interest in the Hobbit eventually led me to reading the Lord of the Rings years later, I didn't even know that the Lord of the Rings was popular at all, but I sat down and read it in great detail, always checking the notes at the end of the book. It was years later that I found out that the book was the most popular work of fiction written in the last five hundred years.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>1) Fight Club - The world is a fucked up place
2) American Beauty - Proves my theory that suburbia does have problems
3) Do The Right Thing - Breaking the racial barriers some still hold
4) Memento - Dealing with a handicap
5) Quiz Show - That telling the truth doesn't mean you'll get rewarded for it</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I mean, I loved Fight Club, but it didn't make me think "Hey, I need to go out and fight people". And American Beauty I included because of its message of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".</div>

I can't think of 5...

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>1) Schindler's List-this one just made the Holocaust feel so much closer. An American boy who wasn't even alive during WWII has no clue what that was like, but that movie shows you a glimpse.

2) American History-X-That movie had such a good ending. It showed you what happens when hate becomes all you know.

Um...that's probably it.</div>

Only one movie I can think of made me leave the theatre changed to a serious degree...

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>Arlington Road changed my perception on life-- I think I can pinpoint that time as when I realized my innocence was lost. The opening scene was just unbelievable and the message in the end bowled me over changing me forever. This is also the movie I realized just how much I loved twists.</div>
