Which film has changed your life forever? about 4 years ago

There have been four films that I feel have had an enourmous impact on me- at least in my appreciation for film

pulp fiction-I first saw this film when I was 14 and I have been in love with it since. Everything about the film seemed so cool when I first saw it, from the suavity of the dialogue to the just straight up bad-ass scenes. QT introduced me the world of film that I had been so ignorant about before.

2001: A space odyssey- Of the four most inspirational films that I have every seen, This one was the one that I was introduced to first. When I was about 9 or ten years old, I remember my uncle bringing this film over to my house, and allthough I didn’t have the maturity or attention span to watch it all the way through and appreciate it at the time, The scene where the black obelisk is revealed on the moon really did a number on me. I revisited the film as my interest in cinema began to grow, and it has been one of my favorite films since. Truely the most beautiful, most perfect film in the history of cinema.

Eraserhead- I watched this film for the first time a year ago, without knowing what to expect, and I walked away with having my mind fucked. This film walks off the beaten path of cinema conformity and creates a terrible surreal landscape of unthinkable norms. Never have I been so terrified yet so intrigued by anything in film. This film inspired me to watch the films of David Lynch, whom I have grown to love, and the films that inspired him; from Un Chien Andalou to the films of Ingmar Bergman.

Who else dislikes Nicolas Cage? about 4 years ago

i think he’s a great actor that chooses a bunch of roles in anus-level films, which makes him much more dislikable than he should be
