Film that made you want to make movies?

Well, I mean...Nolan even said that "2001: A Space Odyssey" made HIM want to pursue filmmaking.

For me, when I was 10, I wanted to be a writer because I loved epic stories and etc. I was looking forward to "The Dark Knight" at that age because, well, it was Batman. But when I was watching it in IMAX, and all that, I was astounded not just by the action but by things I couldn't yet understand or analyze at that age-such as the cinematography, the way the plot laid out and thinking about all the work put into it. By the end of the film I felt like I wanted to work towards being a person that made films- which I realized soon was called being a "filmmaker". A year later I had watched all of Nolan's earlier films, a handful of Kubrick and Truffaut films and Mean Streets, all of which influenced me even more.

So the film that pushed me towards this field was "The Dark Knight" :batface:

Terminator 2

The behind the scenes footage and making of documentaries really inspired me to want to work in films.

Cameron was the man back in the day.

Any Nolan or Ridley Scott film, because for me, they're the most inspiring.

I have always just loved films..
But when I saw PI, I felt a need to make something. And then came Memento..
Not that I pursued anything though :lazyness: ..but the part I got in Kautokeino Rebellion was an experience for a lifetime.
And working in the business is something I don't think Id ever be fit to do because I always speak my mind.

The Prestige.
I had seen TDK & Memento before. But The Prestige got me interested in filmmaking....(not that I'm going to make a film or anything...)
