For me, it was when (I've probably mentioned this before) my father let me watch "Alien" straight after a pirated copy of "ET" (1982'ish?). I must have been eight or nine, and it blew me away. John Hurt thrashing around whilst *something* breaks open his rib cage? A bloke in a suit that is actually *frightning*?. It was a new experience for me, and it opened my eyes to the fact that movies were not always warm, fuzzy, and feelgood, and the beast lurked in dark places.
Also gave me my love of surrealist art too, due to Gigers amazing designs.
The first "Star Wars" though, I have to love unconditionally for introducing me to the magic of the screen. No matter *what* Lucas is doing with them now.
