That's what the movies made me

As a celebration of the best year of my life so far, 2014, I've made a list of all the movies that have contributed to me still being a (somewhat) stable person:

1. Third Star
The movie that has had the biggest impact on me, as an adult. It made me make several changes in the way I think and the way I live my life.

2. Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
A way to re-direct my focus after I had surgery on my jaw. Total escape from reality! It really was my salvation from pain and discomfort.

3. Titanic
The first movie that touched me on an emotional level, that made me think more deeply about life and death and the meaning of everything. I was 13 at the time.

4. You've Got Mail
I grew up with four younger siblings and we were only allowed to watch movies on weekends. And only ones that all four of us could watch together. This was the first movie that was "mine", that I put on when I wanted to.

5. Ratatouille
After a very tough time in my life, this movie helped me to sleep by myself again.

6. Dirty Dancing
The first "grown up" movie I got to watch, every year on my birthday. I might have been 11 then.. It opened my eyes to the fact that there were other movies out there than just Disney.

7. 10 orsaker att hata dig
I think this is the one that made me want to direct movies (I don't anymore). It was also the first movie I watched that was meant for my age group when I WAS that age (14).

8. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
The movie I used when I wanted to show off. I know a lot of lines from it and it really made me aware of the fact that I'm a film nerd.

9. The Lovely Bones
The first movie that gave me a movie hangover. It stayed with me for weeks after I watched it.

10. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Gave me a well needed boost of confidence when I had relationship problems. It did so, by making me think I could be as cool and co-ordinated as Jake Gyllenhaal.

Well, "stable person" might have been an overstatement.. ;D
