What was the movie that made you love movies?

I'm quite fond of the ghouls in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, which are almost like a "reboot" of the skeletons.

My favourite film music composer – in fact Taxi Driver was on the other day.

Me too. Great minds.....

Late to the party but....The Matrix probably

I think it was "Darkman".

Had to think about this one. I believe it was The African Queen. Bogart/Hepburn, 1951.

Well The Lord of the rings and Harry Potter made me a movie lover. I already wished to study in Hogwarts type school. And Lord of the rings just nailed it. Apart from these, Pirates of the caribbean, The Matrix, Fast and FURIOUS, Mission impossible etc.

Dont know, probably Lion King as a kid. But as an adult, it would probably be the Shawshank Redemption.

Alfred J. Hitchcock did it.

It all started with Psycho and the fascination never stopped.

Luckily I discovered him past my teens. I am sure, if i watched a lot of this works as a kid, I would not have been able to appreciate it that much.

I always like to bump this old thread for the new crop of posters every 6 months to a year, and get their take on what one movie began their love of films.

Terminator 2. Odd choice.

I think it was The Matrix.

Mary Poppins

For me? It started with Braveheart. But it started switch the Oscars.
See, way back in 1096 I was home alone and flipping through the channels and came across the Oscar telecast. I watched the last 30 mins of it and watched Braveheart announced as the winner.
I went to my local video rental after school the next day and watched it and decided to go back and grab anything that had “oscar nominated” on the cover. This lead me to such films as Schindlers List, Apocalypse Now, Mississippi Burning, Platoon, Unforgiven, Midnight Cowboy and many, many more. So yes, nearly 24 years ago this next Oscar show, I fell for the. movies. And it started with Braveheart. And I haven’t look back since.

Hahaha! This is why I get for not spellchecking. Grrr.
I meant 1996 😒

It's hard for me to say what exact movie made me love movies. But with the emphasis on love movies, as in igniting a passion for film, then it was when I watched my first classic black & white movie...

It was Braveheart. We had it on VHS when I was a kid and I was hooked after I finally convinced my parents to let me watch it. I'm pretty sure I was like 8 or 9 at the time.
