Movies that changed my life....

I've seen more movies in my time on this earth than you would think possible.
It's very hard for me to make a list of "My Top Ten Favorite Movies" or something like that.
So, I'm not going to try. What I am going to do is to bring up some films that I know changed my life in one way or another.




"The Lion King" (1994)





I think I was 7 or 8 years old when it came out, I had just got out of the hospital for a small operation I needed and to be nice to me, my Mom took me to see a bunch of movies in the theaters (something we never did)
and one of the movies was obviously "the lion king" the story was very intriguing to my young mind, it will
sound weird but the character motivation was like nothing I had seen before (I had no idea it was based off of Hamlet) and it is still the only movie I ever cried to ha-ha (Mufasa's death scene)


James bond in Goldeneye (1995)

There's not a man in the world with access to a  theater who hasn't dreamed of being James bond. Before Goldeneye, I had seen some of the 007 films but they didn't register with me but when I saw Pierce Brosnan, a bond of my era, it made me appreciate the bond films as a whole and gave me an archetype to base my whole persona after (I'm half joking)













 " Reign of Fire" (2002)

Oh 'reign of fire' let me say I hate this movie with all my heart (remember this isn't my favorite films list it's just some of the ones that change my life) this movie made me lose fate in Hollywood movies,
it was so hyped up, I remember I couldn't wait to see it. from the trailer it looked like a "non-stop
dragon killing fest" but it turned out to be one long boring terribly written drama. it made me realize
what is most important for any movie a good story with great characters 


The Back to the Future series (Nov.5th 1885 -Oct 21th 2015)

There no way to express of much of an impact these movies has had on me. I've dated girls because of them, I've taking jobs because of them, it's one of those iconic things that connects me to my whole generation.









Reservoir Dogs (1992)

I didn't see this it till I was in my late teens, it taught me alot about what you don't show in a movie
can be the most powerful, you ask anyone who seen it and they will tell you it's a super violent film
but in actuality there is very little on screen. the dialog and the angles Quentin Tarantino choose gave a feeling of extreme violence.






"The Usual Suspects" (1995)
the story is very well writing, I won't ruin it for you if you haven't seen it, but it still to date the
only movie that has every truly tricked me.( ha-ha)

"36th chambers of Shaolin (A.K.A Master Killer)"
(1978 )

Anyone who knows me, knows that martial arts is a big part of my life and so are martial arts movies,
the 36th chambers is one of my earliest kung fu movie memories.

It's a the story of a young man, driving by a single goal, that goal pushes him so far that he is able to do the seemly impossible. I believe this movie had a huge impact on me, that anything
is possible if you want it badly enough. Something I still believe to this day.
