TV shows, movies etc that helped shaped you

Hi everyone dont know how I came onto this but found a tv show from the 80s called The Equalizer with Edward Woodward (swoon!) .... anyway it really affected me growing up the music, the content of the show was very disturbing and menacing yet brilliant. Was wondering if anyone of my vintage remembered it and if there were others who also had movies and tv shows that helped to shape them for better or worse. Love to all peaxx

Re: TV shows, movies etc that helped shaped you

Hi @Bunniekins What a great thread! I love it! Just briefly, for me, the following movies helped shape me or at least had an impact on my life. They are:

- Beauty and The Beast - Disney cartoon version

- A Beautiful Mind

- Rainman

- 28 Days ( I think it's called that as it had Sandra Bullock it)

I can't think of anymore right now so I'll get back to you!

@Judi9877 Hey Judi9877 thank you :D. Yes Rain Man (having an autistic son myself) really impacted upon me. Especially the scene where Dustan Hoffman is standing in the middle of the road because the lights had gone to red man. I havent seen A Beautiful Mind (I really should as it gets so many wonderful reviews).

On a lighter note I loved Disney's 'The Emperors New Groove' the humour in it was so funny :D. Father Ted and Black Adder - my two children who are on the spectrum still quote them both so funny 🙂 xxxx
