The Pursuit of Happyness - having a kid, I don't know, it just made me appreciate her being there all the more!
Also Final Destination - after seeing it the night before taking a flight that left at the same time as my birthdate, on board with a load of college kids and babies, and the seat tray that wouldn't stay up......made me think about staying on board!

* Movie that makes u "THINK"
every movie makes you think simply because your act of watching incites thinking (just like anything else you consciously register), so you could be watching a complete garbage of a movie or a blank reel and you'd still think about it (or about something related to it or about something 'completely' unrelated to it)
what was meant here is movies that make you think differently about something, that change your perspective on things, which results with unusual conclusions or states of mind - the same applies here, any movie can do that, some just might make a bigger impact or have more related material to think about - interestingly enough, regardless of how well a movie might be crafted or how abundant its information might be or how recommended it is, it still won't change your perception unless you're ready to change it (or ready for such a change), in fact it might even fortify your previous beliefs if they are sufficiently well entrenched as a part of your ego-driven worldview - it might also be said that not every change in perspective is positive, meaning that movies that make you 'think' aren't universally beneficial, actually it could be said that most of the hollywood or commercial movies aren't really beneficial, moreover, weren't even designed/produced/directed/scripted with such an intention, mostly they represent vehicles for spreading & fortifying certain interests/worldviews/ideas/ideals (which is btw. natural, though has far reaching effects when done in an organized way, as it is in the entertainment industry of today)
more accurately, anything (including a movie) that you understand completely requires no thinking about it at all, if you understand it completely there's nothing to think about regarding that subject, furthermore, even the subject itself becomes meaningless (a 'meaning' is a relative construction based on incomplete perception, one which rests upon illusory beliefs formed in an incomplete state of existence, one which characterizes every human being), for in a state of complete understanding there is no place for thinking, there's nothing left to think about...and that is actually something worthwhile to pursue/accomplish, believe it or not (just observe the vast inadequacy of one's own thinking regarding the completeness of its results, their vague/unsatisfactory character revealing their current or even inherent insufficiency or misalignment with the fundamentals), or in other words, to reach a state of complete understanding one has to (fully) reach one's own true self, 'merge' with it, achieve a complete state of 'existence', completing/finalizing the circle or cycle of existence (which is what the well-known phrases like 'coming home' or 'fulfilling one's destiny' or 'reaching one's full potential' really/fundamentally refer to, which also explains why they are so heavily used and commonly misunderstood)Quote:
