What films have struck you deeply?

As the title suggests, what films have had a striking, profound effect upon you? Of course the hot topic at the moment is Avatar vs Star Wars, but are there any more up there that if not for audiences as a whole, have made you feel something different?

I'll start: Another one of my personal favourites that had a striking effect on me was Donnie Darko. A somewhat misunderstood, depressed and rather shy teenager- it reminded me of myself a few years back. I won't spoil the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it, but one prominent moral was that all of our actions and feelings are intertwined with each other and flow like an endless river. Essentially, we all feel a degree of pain when a tragic event happens, even if you weren't particularly fond of the person/people involved.

blue lava lamps are pretty.

I love Alan Partridge!

feels that a lot of magical things are happening at the moment. A lot of the things we can't even see are certainly there... breathing.

Anyone else noticed the similarity between "Avatar" and The Vietnam War?

Firstly, I apologise for bringing up politics, but the penny dropped towards the end of the sci-fi epic "Avatar" that the final war between the Na'vi and the humans is very similar to the armed-to-the-teeth US army and the technologically deprived Vietcong.

I found that the moral of that final battle was essentially "don't get cocky in your enemy's back yard" where the cases of the indigenous inhabitants of the war zones were skilled in utilising their environment to their maximum potential, and both convincingly prevailed in their struggle against man-made explosives and missiles.
