I'll post some films that have had a deep impact on me, and the way I view issues.

"Matewan"
A 1987 film about the 1920 "Matewan Massacre" of coal miners fighting for unionization and a better way of life.

"Cry Freedom"
Another 1987 film. This one about the life, struggle and death of South African activist Stephen Biko, and his fight against apartheid.

"Michael Collins"
A 1996 film about a leader in the Irish struggle to end British rule and domination in Ireland after the 1916 Easter Uprising

"To Kill A Mockingbird"
A 1962 film about growing up in the south with social and racial injustice.




>> If you have films in mind that have effected you deeply, please list them <<
 
The Deer Hunter
Not necessarily for their portrayal of Vietnam War, but just for the story and what happens to all of them.

Requiem for a Dream
Proves why addiction sucks.

There are many more movies that have affected me, as im a movie-holic, but im too tired/lazy to think of others right now.
