Platoon, I watched as a 15 year old with my alcoholic Vietnam vet stepfather. Probably shouldn't have. It left a big impression on me and made me realize that this guy had endured horrors I couldn't even begin to imagine. Needless to say, his relationship with my Mom didn't end well and I was afraid of the man until I was 25 probably.
Forrest Gump I almost took over Dr. Zhivago. I love the movie. The part that gets me every time is when he asks Jenny, without really asking, if little Forrest is 'dumb' like him. It kills me.
Great stuff guys.
