Movies that blew you away

As a kid: Star Wars*, Lord of the Rings, Ben-Hur*

As a teenager: The Matrix*, Spider-man*, Nosferatu*, Amadeus, The Princess Bride, Blade Runner*

As an (alleged) adult: Groundhog Day, Hamlet (1996), Ran, The Searchers, Solaris*, Lawrence of Arabia

*In each case, the answer to "which one?" is "the real one." (Usually the first live-action one, or at least the first well-known one, as with Ben-Hur.)

Idk if I’ve already mentioned dark knight trilogy, but rises especially got me. I teared up when wayne manor was converted to an orphanage. It was so good. I didn’t want it to end, which rarely happens with me

The Secret World of Arrietty was definitely one for me. I got choked up at the very end where he mentions he never saw her again. Most things don't affect me like that. I didn't cry over Old Yeller or the Yearling, but this got me for some reason.

Spider Man Homecoming blew me away. That was a good one. I just loved the whole thing.

Far From Home was really, really good. Mysterio was phenomenal.

Dark Knight was also very good. I now see why people love it so much and got mad at me when I told them I hadn't seen it.

That scares me because when I was a lot younger I felt the same way

The Matrix. I was just so blown away by the spectacular action scenes. No wander why other movies tried so desperately to imitate it.

Endgame. I was so blown to how much emotional impact it had on me. Seriously, I never expected that from a superheroes movie.

The Rescuers Down Under. The animation is just beautiful. The characters are so fun and charming. While I was watching it, I kept wandering "Why does Disney just want to forget they made this movie?"
