I have a list of 52 movies that impacted me and changed my life and it will never be the same. In no particular here a scenes from each movie. Some biography are taken from Google's search to share information about the movie.
1. Forrest Gump: My favorite scene when Forrest Joins the Army is something which I should of done looking back it might of been a better decision than walking and going through job after job. This movie is where the term "God Damn it" cam from and "God Damn Genius" came from. Bubba meets Forrest Gump and they talk about shrimping boats and life he knew everything there was to know about shrimping business. Whats your soul purpose in this army?

2. Rudy: A movie that changed my life for the good you see he had the same problem I did it was based on a true story. He was dyslexic and had a high iq but couldn't compute like the rest. He went on to Holy Cross University to get good grades just like I did and then made a transfer to the University of Norter Dame to play college football where he would be a underdog at his weight and height class proved those factors had nothing to do with winning the game. Everyone told him what he could or couldn't do....I was told I was average how damaging that was to me. I wish my college years would have been some where else some days. Really What I wish is that I would of gone on to Graduate School. I remember the day I got my ticket out of this place and her response was so bad I don't remember it. I finally did it! My Ticket to Football @ Norte Dame
3. Any Given Sunday: A movie that changed my world from upside down with one Famous Locker Room Speech. I used it for a Car Accident that I was in on 35W. I was hit at 164 miles per hour as, a second accident in one that night. The officer never knew I was hit on a diagonal. What would happen in the future is even worse. I lived through a 3-Tier Skull fracture that I was lied to about. "It all comes down to Today" Our life that we live is inches and every inch of my life has been a Dog Fight to climb our way out of Hell one inch at a time. It reflects a overview of his life and his speech parallels my life because life is a game of inches. "Either Game Life or Football" -- "One half Second you don't Catch it" that's our life seconds to make a difference. A way to examine our life with a football metaphor.

4. American Sniper: No one an understand the movie unless you have been at war or put yourself in a selfless situation. "The Navy calculated him at 160 Kills" You are never the same you bring back two great responsibilities to the country and the family. We fight a New War where its difficult to see the enemy. When I saw this movie is cried for 10 minuets at the end because I thought of Officer Captain Sargent Hall. A real life story of a man who gave more than he had to It was in the Winter I went to see this movie with either who was Raymond or Steven Mayfield and it felt like I was in the movie the whole time. I would't be surprised if they used Officer Sargent Captain Halls artificial intelligence. This movie anyone over there that isn't dressed in Camo could be a target to kill. Children would even go on suscide missions to kill our Army. This movie will leave you in tears, inspiration, and the thin line of PTSD. In my eyes this was the ones I knew across in the Middle East.
