This is all very racially subversive and sexually degenerate.
First film is about a sexual deviant. Your second film is about a White man becoming a wigger (the wigger even gets cucked. A negro bangs his White girlfriend). The last film involves chinks and you show you are drawn to said chinks.
Boooooo Feiichy... Booooooo...
My picks were all high IQ
The Reflecting Skin - first time I though about one's perception and reality.
Stand by Me - made me appreciate my childhood as I was living it (an unlikely awareness).
Barton Fink - brought to my attention the hypocrisy and ignorance of many artists and pseudo-intellectuals. People who write and speak about their 'source material' but are too arrogant to listen to the people they write about. They're just writing about their own limited understanding of other people's lives and experiences; it's often based on tropes and their own personal baggage shoehorned.
Feiichy is officially out of the White woman's club until she redeems herself.
Boooooo... *hiss* Booooooo..

Charlie Meadows : Come on, Barton. You think you know pain? You think I made your life Hell? Look around this dump. You're just a tourist with a typewriter. I *live* here.
Another great quote.

You arrogant sonofabitch! You think
you're the only writer who can give
me that Barton Fink feeling?! I got
twenty writers under contract that I
can ask for a Finktype thing from.
You swell-headed hypocrite! You
just don't get it, do you? You think
the whole world revolves inside
whatever rattles inside that little
kike head of yours. Get him outta my
sight, Lou.

I only have 1 film from my childhood that has had a significant impact on my life. After this film, I became obsessed with Japan and wanted to become a samurai. For many years I went to wushu, budokai and juda sections, received several belts, participated in judo competitions. I fell in love with a classmate who was of Korean descent because she looked like a Japanese girl.
But with age it disappeared and now I'm not a fan of Japan, etc.

Not necessarily films I agree with ideologically or politically, but extremely important for my approach towards art and filmmaking, and ones I continue to refer to and study in the techniques, camera angles and general artistic direction. Books have always been more important in shaping my views, opinions and life and I consider literature to be the highest medium; while film can be thought-provoking as well, its scope is somewhat limited, more aimed towards provoking than instilling views and ideas.
There have been others - Lord of the Rings trilogy, Bondarchuk's Waterloo, Olympia, Murnau's Faust, Stalker, Paths of Glory. I've seen hundreds of films. Most of them were garbage. Some were memorable. A sparse handful was transformative.
The Cremator, specifically, is a subversive one as I don't accept a mainstream view of the film, I don't think it was a horror at all. It's an interesting psychological piece and in a sense can be considered a political-ideological metaphor. One of the most important films for my whole conception of camerawork.
Valhalla Rising stands at the core of my preference for slow-paced art films and sparse dialogue, films you can watch multiple times while always coming to a different conclusion. A film that encourages you to think while you watch. I first watched it when I was around fifteen, whence it immediately captivated me with its art direction and fundamentally changed what I perceived as important qualities in a film.
Ghost in the Shell is the film responsible for my pursuit of filmmaking altogether. Another one of those movies I can watch at multiple stages of life. No longer my favourite as it once used to be - I've drifted away from its tone and found I like other things better - but very influential for my attitudes towards film, animated film and my own career.

Valhalla Rising is one of most memorable films I saw as well, regarding atmosphere. Great reply, very interesting to read.

Valhalla Rising is an interesting movie because it follows the storytelling principles closer to old films and, now a feature that rests entirely in the realm of art films and is absent from broadly screened blockbusters, does not spell things out for the viewer nor does it feel obliged to entertain him with constant stimuli. It's actually challenging to watch sometimes, because you have to try and look for connections and meaning. I recalled it a lot when I would later watch Stalker, the format of a film as a journey in which the greatest antagonist is man's own limitations and his insufficiency, and he acts, rather than reacts, has become one of my favourites.
I'm also very picky with visuals. My favourite movies are almost all from the black and white era, and all from before 2002, including the animated ones, except for Valhalla Rising.
Digital camera made films worse.
