I have two, one is Julia Robert's movie Pretty Woman it made an impact to me about loving and being with someone you love regardless of what they are. And the other one is a Tom Hanks movie Forrest Gump, its about destiny and faith that put us where we are right. Those movies are not just classic but full of "reality" of life.

LOL, well I don't agree with you that "Pretty Woman" is full of reality - how many Richard Gere's have swept us poor, working girls off of our feet lately? I wish that it was more "real". I really love that movie, too, by the way - I just don't think it's realistic - just like most movies with those kind of "Cinderella-ending" stories aren't.
I love the movie "The Labyrinth" (yes, with David Bowie & Jennifer Connelly from 1987, I believe) because I grew up with it. It's such a magical movie! So fun, awesome, VERY eighties, and jam-packed with all kinds of morals & lessons. (And plus, David Bowie in tight pants probably adds to it.. )
A couple more of my favorite movies are: Freedom Writers, Pursuit of Happyness, and Girl, Interrupted. All of those are "rags to riches"-type stories about recovering from poverty, depression, and other important things. Great & inspirational movies - about things I can relate to. .
Good discussion!
