>>3633Ikiru, Ran, Yojimbo and Seven Samurai especially are the films which cemented my desire to work in the film industry. Currently I'm just a student but I'd be happy just being a boom operator as long as I get to be involved.
Seven Samurai was the first Kurosawa film I ever watched and I found myself totally astounded by it's beauty and how in all 207 minutes I never felt the desire to even check how much I'd watched.

The Big Store (1941) – I doubt this second-rate Marx Bros film had much of an effect on anyone else, but it was something that I watched over and over as a kid. I still love the climactic chase scene but the clip has been removed from youtube.
I think the first film that made me stop watching pleb shit was A Clockwork Orange. Eventually I started getting Criterion DVDs from the public library.

One time I had a near-epiphanic while viewing Tarr's Kárhozat. I felt allured, washed away by the imaginery, hypnotized by the sound design, synchronized with the pace, diving deep into every frame and microcosm, elevated, refracted, non-sentient.
I rewatched it a year ago. It didn't grab me.

I was never introduced to film and only really discovered things outside of Hollywood when I first started going on 4chan, but I think that Der Todesking

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0361668/are all films that made me realize that you don't need a list actors or a big budget to make magnificent movies.
Takashi miike in particular is one of my favourite directors especially in gozu, I have never felt such suspense watching an entire movie for the whole duration. I really wish I had not fell into the crowd of kids who worshipped Tarantino however, to this day I still get shudders from defending him as the greatest director of all time.
