"Harriet the Spy." I think I started wanting to write after I saw that movie.

Happy Birthday Cherelynn Baker. I will admit, my life altering title is The Empire Strikes Back...which I saw before Star Wars.

Happy Birthday Cherelynn Baker. This may seem silly, but I would say the 1st Spiderman movie with Tobey Maguire!

There were lots - some for their gut-retching themes, some for their comedy, some for their artistry vision, some for character development strengths - basically lots,

Happy Belated Birthday!!
Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire. There are definitely other movies that inspired me, like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but that was the first time I decided that I wanted a career in making movies.

Many left impression and had me reference them in real life, but can't say any film drove me to screenwriting in particular...I think it was the format/content possibilities in this specific written form. I guess I'm saying I do not necessarily need to see the move of the script I've read...

Happy Birthday, my friend! Ooo, I should have known you were a Taurus! We earth signs tend to jive ;-)
I remember watching Joss Whedon's "Serenity" after watching the TV show "Firefly" about three times all the way through, including commentary, only about 4 weeks before that (for the first time - I was late to the party) - and I bawled like a family member died. But it was actually the speech that Shepard gives Mal about "I don't care what you believe, just believe". And it really made me think - there are so many people trying to say something, but I truly believe I have something to say.
Thanks for the prompt! I hope you had a lovely Bday!
