re: The movie that made you love movies

Sure, there was Jurassic Park when I was 12, or Star Wars my entire childhood. But I didn't really "get" films until this one.

Yeah, I loved those movies, but I didn't know what was so great. It was just dinosaurs and Jedis that made it awesome for me as a kid. For instance, Phantom Menace was once my favorite Star Wars film just because of Darth Maul. Looking back at my favorite films from 2001 and before (excluding Fellowship of course), the vast majority of my favorite films were absolute shite. It was always without fail sequels that were my favorite for instance.

Once I saw Fellowship, it changed my opinion on what a film could be. A few months later when I saw "Attack of the Clones", I didn't hate it, but I knew something was off. Looking back at movies I liked from 2002 onward, I have to say I didn't have bad taste after seeing that film.
