So basically what I'm asking is, what movie(s) had that "Whoa" impact and made you view them as something special (more than just a casual hobby)? For me, it was in 2008, while I was in the theater watching "The Dark Knight". That's when I really started to get into movies. Later, when I first saw "Saving Private Ryan", I saw how much a good movie can grab you emotionally and affect you.
