Ok, at the risk of being tarred and feathered for another dumb thread.....and kinda hijacking it from another.... here goes.
What movie in your lifetime made a difference or had a lasting impression in one way or another?
Mine was Jaws....scared the holy crap of me and I still won't swim at nite (Yes this came from the shark thread)
Another was American History X (I think?) ...gave me nightmares for years when the guy got killed on the curb..........

On Golden Blonde.
We were at this guys house, his parents were gone and we decided to watch a movie.
One guy finds this movie On golden Blonde, but he was kinda dumb, and he said On Golden Pond. We put it in and
WOAH !!
Cant' look at Katherine Hepburn the same to this day :D

I have to chime in here!
I have a ton of favorite movies but there was one experience that still freaks me out to this day.
About ten years ago I was at a buddy's house chillin'. We had been drinking a little bit and playin horse shoes. It was getting dark so we decided to go in and partake in some "wacky tobbacky" smoking and just kick back.
Well, after about 5 bowls, my buddy passes out and I see a movie on the dresser. I figure I am pretty sauced and don't want to drive so I'll watch the flick and crash there. I popped the movie in and it was the movie "Fire in the Sky". If you haven't seen or heard about it, it's about a guy who gets abducted by aliens, escapes, and has a jacked up life afterward with flashbacks and stuff.
I stayed up, watched the movie, and couldn't take my eyes off of the tv. I was scared shitless to turn the damn thing off - not to mention being high as a kite. I have always been a "sort-of" believer of paranormal activity. Being stoned and watching this movie freaked me out so much that I'm sure I will never watch it again.
Just writing about it has given me the "HEEBIE JEEBIES"!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

The movie that scared the crap out of me was the "invasion of the body snatchers". I was only twelve, and had finished delivering newspapers, so I went to the matinee by myself. I ended up walking out of the theatre, and back into the sunshine. whew!

Night of the Living dead was a good one, I was about 10 when it came to the Drive-In. My older sister took me and another sister. Nothing like being at a drive-in as a young kid watching a bunch of dead people come back to get you.:mad:

Two movies that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid was, The Omen & The Shining. I was pretty young when I saw those and I remember having nightmares for a long time after seeing them.

The following were mine:
The incredible melting man
night of the living dead/Dawn of the dead
Phantasm
Halloween part 1
Rosemarys baby
The omega man
The hills have eyes
And when I was really young a movie about these Gorgoyles that lived in the desert. I dont know what it was called but it scared the crap out of me. Every time we took a road trip I would stay awake the whole trip to make sure these creatures didnt attack us. The premise was they would come out at nighttime and get humans to take back to their young ones. Anyhow Im sure if I were to watch it today it would be completly cheesy.

I would have to say "Motel Hell". Motel Hell is by turns darkly satirical and light-heartedly gruesome, making it one of the more easily enjoyable films I've seen in some time. Farmer Vincent (Rory Calhoun) is famous in his area for making the best smoked meat ever to tickle the tongue. What the people don't know is that by eating Vincent's treats, they've become cannibals. Y'see, Vincent and his sister Ida have made it their mission in life to take the undesirable element out of the human gene pool, and make them into something useful (and tasty). Anyone for some of my "smoked meats"?

American Graffiti
I was a hot rod freak since I was a little kid, reading Rod & Custom, Hot Rod and many other car mags. I grew up in rural New England and never saw a real hot rod, only pics in magazines. This movie came out when I was 16 and blew me away. The cars and especially the cruising scenes were too much. All that shit happening in one night. I knew right then and there that I would someday have to live in California. I wanted to be John Milner and that is why I now have a 32 Ford hot rod!

Escape to/from? Witch Mountain....I seem to remember thinking that a flying motorhome would be pretty bitchin. :D Seriously though, Jaws scared the shit out of me. I lived in Hawaii at the time and my dad used to take my brother and I to the beach every weekend-FUUUUUUUCK. :eek:
