    Cinephile (15/15): 15 Movies That Changed My Life

    Hello friends and welcome to Natetheworld (ThePodcast). Here we celebrate the most popular essays, reviews, and poems on Natetheworld.com. As of this essay, I have watched 1,239 movies in a theater and thousands upon thousands more in the comfort of my home. In all those stories, I have spent time with 75 films that I deem perfect. This year, as my website, Natetheworld.com, celebrates its 15th anniversary, I gave myself the impossible task of ranking my favorite 15 films of all time. After ranking, moving, rearranging, and debating the impact of 75 beloved films, this is my list as of today. Tomorrow, it is bound to look completely different. For this essay, instead of reviewing each film again, I want to take a different approach. I want to tell you why these 15 movies changed my life. I hope you enjoy it.
