"Breast Monsters from Jupiter".

Good mentions so far.

One movie that didn't change my life per se, but is still the coolest movie I ever watched in my life; Jurassic Park. I was around 10 at the time.

As for movies actually changing life you could say that Kickboxer and Dragon heavily influenced me getting into martial arts which has evolved into my fitness interest. But that seed was already planted at much younger age watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-movies to be honest.

Into the Wild.
Though the movie was made with too much drama, the -true- story behind it is inspiring; make a radical change by leaving everything behind in your comfort zone and rediscover who you are and what really matters.

I own the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Besides the nostalgia factor, it's still entertaining to this day. Elias Koteas as "Casey Jones" is hilarious. For example:

Donatello: You're a claustrophobic.
Casey Jones: You want a fist in the mouth? I've never even looked at another guy.

Vanilla Sky was one of the worst movies in the history of cinema. Simply terrible.

Commando, because I started lifting after seeing Arnie in it for the first time.

The Fountainhead - maybe not the movie so much, but the book definitely, for the concepts in it and characterization of Howard Roark & Gail Wynand.

And any movie where the underdog wins in the end after getting beat down by life hard - like Hidalgo and Cinderalla Man. Not life changing, but inspiring / gives you hope.
