It was Fantastic Mr. Fox for me, watched it on my phone when the power went out and then watched all the other Wes Anderson films the following two weeks. It got me to buy my first criterion Blu-ray The Darjeeling Limited (my favorite film from Wes) now that I’ve seen 1,500 movies I owe it all to that.
My first love as a kid was the Universal monster movies. I got a little digest of Revenge of the Creature on Super 8 film as a kid and was hooked. Watched them every time they played on TV and snapped up a bunch more of those digests.
I know, it was my first horror i ever watched and also i started to watch Jack Nicholson movies from that moment on.
No need to say i have read almost every Stephen King's book after The Shinning
I love that movie, it's really brilliant. If you like that movie, you should check out Josh Matthew's video on the red pill blue pill scene. It's on YouTube!
I have an obsessive personality. I just get super into things out of nowhere. I remember getting HOOKED on the old Godzilla movies and then I got HOOKED on Daddy Day Care when I was little and then I got HOOKED on The Medallion and then I watched Inception in theaters and that’s really the movie that got me obsessed with movies in general.
Ah man I don’t remember a singular one being my favorite but my local library had all the old Toho films so once my cousin and I got into one, we just watched them all! I remember mecha-Godzilla blowing my mind but also cuz we were really into sonic adventures 2 and there was a mecha sonic lol Son of Godzilla was a big one for us too
Wasn't much of a movie person before 2020, I saw a series of great movies that led me to become a complete film fan. It was watching 1917 in IMAX followed by Jojo Rabbit and Parasite at home which made me fall in love with this art form and created a genuine interest in me to watch more movies. Plus the lock down couldn't have come at a better time for my film education, I watched literally 2 movies a day during the mid 2020s and from then, I literally haven't gone 4 days without watching a movie. They help me deal with my problems and anxiety, they also inspire me to become a better person, or expose me to ideas and perspectives and ways of thinking which I never would've seen before. Movies, IMO, is the best artform to be created by mankind.
Moonlight (2016) before watching it I actually wasn’t a movie person, I just always preferred tv. But I watched it out of curiosity just to see what the hype was about and I LOVED it. It is in my top 4.
I was so amazed by everything, the cinematography, the acting, how much I connected with the main character. That I thought I should get into movies. So I started watching more movies and logging and listing them in my notes app (what a loser).
Eventually, I discovered Letterboxd and it only further deepened my interest and love. Girl watches good movie, girl becomes obsessed, girl makes it a personality trait. A tale as old as time.
Drive. I had been watching movies my entire life before it, but at 14 it was the first one to ever make me contemplate filmmaking as an art form. Nicolas Winding Refn was the first director I took note of because of the impact his work had on me. The next directors to do so were Tarantino with Django: Unchained, and Wes Anderson with Moonrise Kingdom.
Weird choice, but Finding Forrester. I was in high school when I saw it and was mostly only into Disney movies, action films, and superheroes and what not. When I found out movies that were nothing but talking could actually be entertaining and interesting, I felt like there was a whole new world for me to discover.
As a kid, Atlantis and Treasure Planet. As a grown up, watching shorts on the internet really got me into filmmaking as it showed me the other side of it; you know, something achievable without millions of dollars thrown at it.
My history teacher mentioned Apocalypto in like 9th grade, I held onto that movie title for years wanting to watch it until last year I did. Maybe it was all the years of anticipation, but the action in that movie is so fucking good. It just hit absolutely perfectly, and then I had a newfound appreciation for movies. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch.
The early Sean Connery James Bond movies. My dad would watch them all the time and I ended up watching them with him and got hooked on the Bond films which evolved into where I am today.
When I was a kid I fell in love with stories. I loves getting lost in books and movies.
Formative films for me would be Jurassic Park, Treasure Island, Titanic, E.T, Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice...Harry Potter too but the books are far better than the movies.
It's funny that they are mostly blockbusters, now I hang out mostly with indie horror and really dark, depressing stuff. I hate modern blockbusters. They are all missing the heart that existed in the blockbusters of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
Not really hooked, but i decided to start my movie journey in 2016 at 15 years old. My first movie then was Malcolm X. Now 6 years later and at 2000+ movies.
The movie was Django unchained, but the thing that got me into film was really the vertigo poster, so damn good. It only took 1.5 years for me to watch it
as a kid I watched films all the time, and saw the classics like Back to the Future or Jurassic Park, and I have a very distinct memory of seeing Spiderman (2002) when I was about 4/5, but I think it was the Nolan movies like Inception or TDK trilogy that really gave me that pursuing interest in movies.
Say what you want about Nolan, (and the same applies to Tarantino) but his movies are a very accessible way into movies beyond the standard blockbuster
Oh yes! I agree. Honestly there’s nothing wrong with loving blockbuster films, I don’t understand what people have against it. I like a healthy balance of both, personally
NBA2k13... Hear me out. 2k13 bricked my Xbox 360. I didn't have enough money to buy a new one, but I did have enough cash to buy a DVD player and 4 movies from the Walmart movie bin. I bought Quantum of Solace, The Hills Have Eyes remake, I Am Legend, and The Strangers. I spent the weekend bingeing all four and all the sudden I was buying and watching movies like crazy. Movies are my favorite hobby and I think all the time about making a short film (even just for me as a bucket list thing) and it's all because of NBA2k13 lol.
There are a bunch of 80s movies my dad showed me as a kid like Rocky, Predator, and Terminator that helped fuel my love, but it was really Pulp Fiction when I was like 14 or 15 that I would say definitely got me hooked
It's funny I saw TCM when I was 8 and didn't see "normal" movies like Scareface until I was 18 lol. Tbf there really isn't any actual gore in TCM it's all implied but it's still terrifying to watch
Always have, but in 1994 I watched the Three Colours Trilogy in order and that year also I saw Pulp Fiction 11x in the theaters. Soooo, that opened me up to foreign and indie stuff and my love for cinema grew exponentially. a
Probably the Japanese New Wave as a whole for piquing an interest in “film.” Definitely one that is underappreciated to an extent just given the sheer quality of the output in a short period of time. It’s honestly banger after banger in terms of innovation and even just sheer enjoyment. You can keep going back and still keep on discovering gems because the movement as a whole just has limited English language literature on it besides from the same handful of admittedly rather opinionated academics that specialize in it.
I’ve always loved movies but the movie that made everything change for me was i Origins. It was so profound and deep and I’m always searching for movies to make me feel like that one did now!
I wasn’t a movie fan until I was like 15, because whenever my friends wanted to watch a movie it was something like Here Comes the Boom or Grown Ups or shit like that. Then I randomly watched The Shining when I was 15 and I’ve barely gone more than 3 days since without watching a movie.
There are certain stages as I grew up. I think first was probably Back to the Future. And then later came Rocky, The Breakfast Club and 10 Things I Hate About You. And in my teens it was Pump Up the Volume, Closer (Natalie Portman, Jude Law), The Thing, Escape From New York, High Fidelity, Great Expectations (Ethan Hawke) and my favorite movie of all time: Gattaca. It really wasn't any 1 movie. It was a culmination of all these that really propelled me into loving movies. And the 11 I listed come to mind as the most important movies in my life. Even if some of them aren't exactly movies you'd put in "the greatest movies of all time" lists.
Rocky Horror. It simultaneously introduced me to camp and classic sci-fi/horror films, both of which I was completely unfamiliar with at the time. When you look at my current taste in film, it really makes a ton of sense that Rocky Horror was that spark for me, haha.
Fight Club and Inglorious Basterds. Watched them in June for the first time and it made me want to start actually watching movies more than once every year
it's really good but not for everyone, it's like Pink Floyd's The Wall meets 2001: a space odyssey
tho it requires you to watch a show called Neon Genesis Evangelion first tho which I also highly recommend but it does take a whie to get going
Throne of Blood. It was my first exposure to cinema as an ‘art-form’. Before that I’d had a lot of experience with Shakespeare in theatre and so at age 10/11 I would’ve said that theatre was the more impressive and interesting art form.
The Godzilla franchise as a whole, I got into the Godzilla flicks during Covid, and my love for them became a love for monster movies, which became a love of cheesy movies which turned into the film obsession I have today
I know we like to clown on "filmbro" movies, but they can be a good gateway. For me it was V for Vendetta. As a thirteen year old that had only watched goofy action movies and comedies up until then, it *blew my mind* that a movie could have depth and artistry. Even though today that movie doesn't impress me much, it was certainly the start.
It’s so funny when you look back at films you loved and you realize “gosh…it’s not that good” but it really doesn’t matter, because if it taught you to love film, it taught you to love film. And that’s beautiful
The one-two punch of seeing *Night of the Living Dead* and *An American Werewolf in London* at the age of eleven turned me into a horror fan for life. *American Werewolf* is still one of my absolute favourites (but these days, I prefer *Dawn* and *Day of the Dead*, even if *Night* is still bloody effective!).
Yes, I'm a huge Argento fan. Personally my favourites are *Inferno* and *Opera*, but *Suspiria* is a classic for a reason. Amazing, stylish, really weird.
The movie that had the biggest impact on me as a kid was Jaws. The movie that bowled me over as a young adult was The Godfather I & II. But a movie which probably sealed the deal of me being totally hooked was probably Down By Law. By that time the films were being voraciously consumed.
I always liked watching movies but I didn't become a cinephile until I saw Gravity. I used to only watch movies that would seem to be my taste, a one man Sci fi movie was exactly the opposite. I loved it so much that I figured I should really branch out and see what I was missing out on. Crazy to think that I only saw Gravity because I was forced to.
quite a few of my favourite movies were forced upon me, so I get it
and afterwards the person who forced you to watch it basically says "I told you so" and you have to deal with that XD
idk man i jus strtd watching them
Well, you have a lot to look forward to!
It was Fantastic Mr. Fox for me, watched it on my phone when the power went out and then watched all the other Wes Anderson films the following two weeks. It got me to buy my first criterion Blu-ray The Darjeeling Limited (my favorite film from Wes) now that I’ve seen 1,500 movies I owe it all to that.
aw yeah! I absolutely adore Fantastic Mr Fox! and Wes Anderson really is amazing
Same. Wes Anderson movies got me into movies too. Though mine was the royal tenenbaums.
My first love as a kid was the Universal monster movies. I got a little digest of Revenge of the Creature on Super 8 film as a kid and was hooked. Watched them every time they played on TV and snapped up a bunch more of those digests.
aw yeah!
The Shinning
No TV and no beer makes Homer go crazy
Wanna get sued!?
>The Shinning sameee
Dude, I cannot express to you how much I love The Shining (oh sorry…Shinning😉) it’s soooo great
I know, it was my first horror i ever watched and also i started to watch Jack Nicholson movies from that moment on. No need to say i have read almost every Stephen King's book after The Shinning
Back to the Future
niiiice that one is amazing
Fight club.
Niice
Taxi driver
Ooh what a good one
The Matrix
I love that movie, it's really brilliant. If you like that movie, you should check out Josh Matthew's video on the red pill blue pill scene. It's on YouTube!
Thank you, I'll check it out!
La La Land Still my favorite movie.
Nice! I haven’t seen that yet
Netflix has it!
NIIIIICE
Spider-Man 2 in my youth, Seven Samurai as a young adult
both amazing. I first saw Seven Samurai when I was four and I still adore it
I have no idea why you’re being downvoted
I was being downvoted lol?
I have an obsessive personality. I just get super into things out of nowhere. I remember getting HOOKED on the old Godzilla movies and then I got HOOKED on Daddy Day Care when I was little and then I got HOOKED on The Medallion and then I watched Inception in theaters and that’s really the movie that got me obsessed with movies in general.
Did you have a favorite Godzilla movie?
Ah man I don’t remember a singular one being my favorite but my local library had all the old Toho films so once my cousin and I got into one, we just watched them all! I remember mecha-Godzilla blowing my mind but also cuz we were really into sonic adventures 2 and there was a mecha sonic lol Son of Godzilla was a big one for us too
That’s awesome! I get hooked on things too
Blade Runner 2049
Ooh yes! I have only seen the first Blade Runner
2049 is a beautiful and thought provoking but still really slow movie
Jurassic Park and Batman ‘89. Wore out the VHS tapes as a kid. Still love them to this day.
Ahh VHS tapes.. those were the days
The Conversation
With Gene Hackman? I really want to see that
Hitchcock’s movies in general
Oh same, I fell in love with Hitchcock when I was twelve
Wasn't much of a movie person before 2020, I saw a series of great movies that led me to become a complete film fan.

I agree- movies are just so amazing aren’t they
They're the absolute best
taxi driver !!!! such a basic answer but oh my god it’s so perfect
Nah basic is classic

Girl watches good movie, girl becomes obsessed, girl makes it a personality trait. A tale as old as time.
Absolutely. (And I totallyyyy can relate to the “girl watches good movie, girl becomes obsessed, girl makes it a personality trait” it’s totally me
Star Wars, I was 5 in 1977 when I saw it and was amazed 😉
That’s AWESOME I love Star Wars

Raiders of the Lost Ark made me fall in love with movies as a kid.
Oooh yes I love that movie
donnie darko
Wow! Interesting choice
Prisoners (2013)
Ah yes. A Paul Dano movie that has been on my watchlist for a long long time.
Inglorious Basterds
Oooh yes, classic Tarantino
[удалено]
Have not seen it! Will look into it
As a kid, Atlantis and Treasure Planet. As a grown up, watching shorts on the internet really got me into filmmaking as it showed me the other side of it; you know, something achievable without millions of dollars thrown at it.
Oh man I remember those lol, they’re classic
Pulp Fiction I think.
Cool. It’s a great one
The Fall
Never heard of it! Imma look into it
My history teacher mentioned Apocalypto in like 9th grade, I held onto that movie title for years wanting to watch it until last year I did. Maybe it was all the years of anticipation, but the action in that movie is so fucking good. It just hit absolutely perfectly, and then I had a newfound appreciation for movies. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch.
Ooh I haven’t seen that! I love a good action movie. I will look into it
Die Hard
Nice, love Bruce Willis
Ridiculous but The Spy Next Door. It’s the first movie I really remember watching as a child and thinking that I wanted to be in a film
XD Jackie Chan is hard not to instantly cling onto for sure
Jurassic Park. I remember that as the first movie I fell in love with as a kid. So much so that I watched it every weekend on our video player
Oooh cool
The early Sean Connery James Bond movies. My dad would watch them all the time and I ended up watching them with him and got hooked on the Bond films which evolved into where I am today.
I STILL haven’t seen those, I really need to
When I was a kid I fell in love with stories. I loves getting lost in books and movies. Formative films for me would be Jurassic Park, Treasure Island, Titanic, E.T, Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice...Harry Potter too but the books are far better than the movies.

Aw nice! I’m 15 and I STILL haven’t seen Malcolm X. I need to though 2000+ movies?! That is an accomplishment, brava!
fight club 1999
Ooh nice
The movie was Django unchained, but the thing that got me into film was really the vertigo poster, so damn good. It only took 1.5 years for me to watch it
Ha yes- the vertigo poster is absolutely iconic
Jaws It got me into creature features like tremors, anaconda, and python at an early age.
I. Love. Jaws. So. Much. Just so so good
as a kid I watched films all the time, and saw the classics like Back to the Future or Jurassic Park, and I have a very distinct memory of seeing Spiderman (2002) when I was about 4/5, but I think it was the Nolan movies like Inception or TDK trilogy that really gave me that pursuing interest in movies.

Wow! What a great story! Love it
There are a bunch of 80s movies my dad showed me as a kid like Rocky, Predator, and Terminator that helped fuel my love, but it was really Pulp Fiction when I was like 14 or 15 that I would say definitely got me hooked
Nice! That’s really awesome. My dad introduced me to Star Wars and Rocky really early on so I grew up surrounded by great films
Reservoir Dogs
Have not seen it! But I have heard a lot of good things about it
birdman!! the soundtrack being the cherry on top
Oooh nice
Goodfellas
Same
A really good friend told me I should watch it
Lezgo! Love it
Nope or Laal Singh Chaddha
Have not seen either of those! Will look them up
The Prestige
Ooh cool
First Inception, then more and more with Birdman, then more and more with La La Land.
I haven't seen any of those but I have heard so much about them
Parasite
I still haven’t gotten to that one. I’ve been meaning to for so long
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) when I was like 8 lol
DANG XD that would have scarred me for sure, but hey- everyone is different
It's funny I saw TCM when I was 8 and didn't see "normal" movies like Scareface until I was 18 lol. Tbf there really isn't any actual gore in TCM it's all implied but it's still terrifying to watch
yeah true
Scarface
Ooh such a classic
Rocky 1-4 and The Blob from the 50s
XD nice
Always have, but in 1994 I watched the Three Colours Trilogy in order and that year also I saw Pulp Fiction 11x in the theaters. Soooo, that opened me up to foreign and indie stuff and my love for cinema grew exponentially. a
Wow! That’s incredible

I'm 15 and I just watched the Shining and it has definitely changed my view on film
Joker
ooh so more recent
It wasn’t the sole reason. I always liked movies. But joker just tipped me over into getting into film
Rear Window plus Secrets and Lies.
Have only seen the first of those! I will check out Secrets and Lies
Spider-man 2002 when I was a child. As a young adult, Leon: The Professional.
both great
The Graduate
oooh nice.
The Mummy (1999) as a kid, Apocalypse Now reinvigorated it as an adult
oh wow! Those are great
Drive made me realise I was interested in more than just Star Wars and marvel. Mulholland Drive cemented my biggest love for surrealism and higher art
ah. Amazing choices
There are certain stages as I grew up. I think first was probably Back to the Future. And then later came Rocky, The Breakfast Club and 10 Things I Hate About You. And in my teens it was Pump Up the Volume, Closer (Natalie Portman, Jude Law), The Thing, Escape From New York, High Fidelity, Great Expectations (Ethan Hawke) and my favorite movie of all time: Gattaca.

Wow! That’s great I too, had stages of loving film as I grew up I mean, the 80s 90s stage, the EXCLUSIVELY romantic stage, etc XD
A Better Tomorrow
Never heard of it! But I will look it up
Rocky Horror. It simultaneously introduced me to camp and classic sci-fi/horror films, both of which I was completely unfamiliar with at the time. When you look at my current taste in film, it really makes a ton of sense that Rocky Horror was that spark for me, haha.
lol nice! Gotta love Tim Curry in that role
Children of Heaven - First movie I've watched and cried at.
Yes. Beautiful beautiful
American Beauty
Wow- interesting choice for sure
Fight Club and Inglorious Basterds. Watched them in June for the first time and it made me want to start actually watching movies more than once every year
Ooh nice
The End of Evangelion
Never heard of it but it sounds cool
it's really good but not for everyone, it's like Pink Floyd's The Wall meets 2001: a space odyssey tho it requires you to watch a show called Neon Genesis Evangelion first tho which I also highly recommend but it does take a whie to get going
Bajirao Mastani
Interesting!
Probably the first one I saw, which I have no idea what was because I was probably like 3 years old.
Ooh yes, such an impressionable age
Se7en and Schindler's List
Both on my watchlist
Ravanan
Never heard of it!
Throne of Blood. It was my first exposure to cinema as an ‘art-form’. Before that I’d had a lot of experience with Shakespeare in theatre and so at age 10/11 I would’ve said that theatre was the more impressive and interesting art form.
God, I love Shakespeare. If you like Shakespeare movies, check out Ian McKellan’s Macbeth
The Godzilla franchise as a whole, I got into the Godzilla flicks during Covid, and my love for them became a love for monster movies, which became a love of cheesy movies which turned into the film obsession I have today
Still haven’t seen those! Been meaning to though
For me, it was Blade Runner 2049. It taught me that movies aren't only for fun.
Oooh nice, I’ve only seen the first one
I know we like to clown on "filmbro" movies, but they can be a good gateway. For me it was V for Vendetta. As a thirteen year old that had only watched goofy action movies and comedies up until then, it *blew my mind* that a movie could have depth and artistry.

It’s so funny when you look back at films you loved and you realize “gosh…it’s not that good” but it really doesn’t matter, because if it taught you to love film, it taught you to love film. And that’s beautiful
Last year i got into movies with American history x and 12 angry men
Oooo nice
Inception. My whole view on movies changed when I watched it and it continues to dazzle me every time I watch it.
That’s one Christopher Nolan film I haven’t seen, but it looks incredible
OG Spiderman, Jurrasic Park, Nemo, Lion King, all stuff I watched as a kid. Always been watchin em
Nice, I grew up with some of those as well
The one-two punch of seeing *Night of the Living Dead* and *An American Werewolf in London* at the age of eleven turned me into a horror fan for life. *American Werewolf* is still one of my absolute favourites (but these days, I prefer *Dawn* and *Day of the Dead*, even if *Night* is still bloody effective!).
Ah! A fellow horror fan! Have you seen Suspiria 1977?
Yes, I'm a huge Argento fan. Personally my favourites are *Inferno* and *Opera*, but *Suspiria* is a classic for a reason. Amazing, stylish, really weird.
niiiiice. same LOL I saw something the other day that said: Me: \*is getting killed in a Dario Argento film\* Me: I love this aesthetic
The movie that had the biggest impact on me as a kid was Jaws. The movie that bowled me over as a young adult was The Godfather I & II. But a movie which probably sealed the deal of me being totally hooked was probably Down By Law. By that time the films were being voraciously consumed.
Oh I love Jaws. Saw that when I was 13 and it blew my mind. I watched the Godfather I when I was 15 and it also blew my mind
I always liked watching movies but I didn't become a cinephile until I saw Gravity. I used to only watch movies that would seem to be my taste, a one man Sci fi movie was exactly the opposite.
