First movie that blew your mind

For me it was the matrix. I was like 8 years old watching a movie about simulation theory. Could barely handle it.

When I was 8 I saw Poltergeist. It was terrifying! I even had a tree that scraped my window at night.

For me it was probably a tie between Taxi Driver and A Clockwork Orange.

It was 1976, I was 13 years old and my father took me and my brother to see The last Hard Men, a rated R movie with a graphic rape scene.
It was a Western starring James Coburn

I was shocked at such an early age

Probably Minority Report, waaaaay back in the day.

I collected the James Bond VHS series

All the tapes boxes made a really cool picture

The first 18 I watched was Judge Dread which is not an 18 any longer. Was the Stallone version

Remember Jurassic park, Ave Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, the Mask etc

My first film I recorded off the TV into VHS was Raw Deal with Arine.

Had a cool T2 box set as well

Upgrading to the remastered Star Wars trilogy was also memorable

Forrest gump is the first movie I saw in school and it was mind blasting/blowing :exploding_head:

I wonder now should it be blasting or blowing ?

The Truman show.
