Has a movie made you think about your lifestyle?

[wildcat]

Sounds stupid but every now and then I see a movie that really hits home. Any movies do that to you or do you have any movie recommendations that fall under this category - read I could use some rental ideas?

The Grapes Of Wrath?

This is gonna sound kinda silly, but the 1976 movie "The Big Bus", made an impression on me at a young age. This was a comedy movie that spoofed the disaster films that were big at the time. Kind of like "Airplane", but about 4 years earlier, and taking place on a nuclear powered bus instead of an airplane.

Well, there was this old guy in it who only had 6 months to live, and was real down in the dumps and mopey, and just worried about everything. Suddenly, about half-way through the movie, he has a revelation. He ends up just not caring anymore, and hops into a bubble bath with a good looking broad and starts shouting something like "No more worries, no more cares, no more RESPONSIBILITY!!" And for the rest of the movie then, he's just happy no matter what catastrophes befall mankind's first non-stop bus trip from New York to Denver.

I kinda want to be like that man. Just younger. And with a bit more than 6 months to live.

One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest

Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, briar, limber lock,
Three geese in a flock.
One flew east,
And one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

C'mon, guys, am I the only one here who thought Jay was referring to Faye Dunaway & Steve McQueen?!?

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

Yes, you are.

I dont nec. agree with Michael Moore's politics, but stuff before Fahrenheit 911 made me think. Supersize Me is another good docudrama on how evil corporations manipulate us common folk.
