for when you want to feel something

this is just purely a list of movies that have impacted me and have made me reflect and change my view on some things.

These movies can range from emotional rollercoasters to psychological thrillers with deep meanings reflecting back on society. Each of the different genres make me feel some typa way so if you're looking for something to watch that is worth your time and not a boring film then hopefully you randomly pick a film from this compiled list and you have a great time!
