Watching people go hard for things they believed in was really inspirational for me; decided to take the harder path in my own career. Surgeon now.”–midnightmoose
7. It’s A Wonderful Life

13. Fight Club

A lot of people took the wrong message from it, but regardless of which way it sent you politically, it was a big moment for many of us.
I think Trainspotting had a similar effect on some people. Choose Life and all that.”–night_dude

The way it depicts utter family dysfunction and personal struggles in an unflinching way while modeling how to hold people accountable while still loving and supporting them, really resonated with me and changed how I thought about my own family relationships. Also, it’s just a damn good movie.”–ManchuriaCandid
