Film Dramas That Kicked My Cynical Ass By vestigial_tail [21 more lists]
I have spent the majority of my life with a "tough as nails" exterior (sometimes whether it's necessary or not). So, I have a lot of respect for artists (in any genre), that can move me to tears, enlightenment, empathy or a broader vision. At some time, all of these films were a catalyst for deeper thought and reflection. They are in no particular order. Readers may not agree with my picks, but then, art is ALWAYS subjective, isn't it?
