Clockwork Orange was banned by Stanley Kubrick for viewing in the UK as it had such an affect on the viewers of the time. Violent and horrible films were banned all the time in the 70's and 80's, mostly to be re-released under a lot of hype in the 90's! But these films can affect people, if only for a short time.
Films can also make us laugh or cry. I'm not afraid to admit that I like a good romantic movie, and yes, I cried at Bambi too, and the best movies are always the ones that move you the most, whether it be to laugh, cry or feel that adrenaline rush from being scared. Movies have a special power, and I love them for it.
But ultimately films take us away from our everyday exsistence and briefly take us to another life, where we can encounter situations and emotions we would otherwise not have the chance to experience. The feelings of humour, fear, love, and adrenaline you can experience with a good movie is what makes films so popular.
