There's some movies that definitely don't "last" for me too - a lot of prestige pics - and some movies last because they make me so angry that I can't forget them (Pan's Labyrinth). Some movies are definitely helped out by the music, like 28 Days Later. But anyway, the whole thing about recognizing what it is about the movie that resonated - or, rather, why do I like this or why do I not like this - is something my film professor in Melbourne introduced me to, and it made me appreciate movies even more.
I guess I wouldn't say that I necessarily live with and by all the movies I like and think are good - although the movies on my "top ten list", like Apocalypse Now and Picnic on Hanging Rock, did change my life - but that doesn't make me any less excited and loving of movies, you know what I mean? The fact that I may forget it later doesn't really matter to me. I mean, I try to make that my approach to life in general.
