the best movies have staying power

the film critic Roger Ebert once said the purpose of movies is to move the viewer

and my favorite movies do fall in that category - by gosh I love Monster, Les Miserables and a slew of dramatic Indian movies (Raja Rani <3)

these are some movies that moved me the most

but as I get older, I respect movies that have staying power above all - movies that I reference in my mind far past their watch date

two movies stand out to me there - Yes Man and Perfect Days

I think about these two movies when I make decisions. Yes Man showed me the value of a yes (I also read the book) and Perfect Days made me think about the pros (and cons) of a simple life

question to you, dear reader - what movies have had the most staying power for you? hit reply or send me a text with your answer :)
