Ikiru, Ran, Yojimbo and Seven Samurai especially are the films which cemented my desire to work in the film industry. Currently I'm just a student but I'd be happy just being a boom operator as long as I get to be involved.

Seven Samurai was the first Kurosawa film I ever watched and I found myself totally astounded by it's beauty and how in all 207 minutes I never felt the desire to even check how much I'd watched.

The Big Store (1941) – I doubt this second-rate Marx Bros film had much of an effect on anyone else, but it was something that I watched over and over as a kid. I still love the climactic chase scene but the clip has been removed from youtube.

I think the first film that made me stop watching pleb shit was A Clockwork Orange. Eventually I started getting Criterion DVDs from the public library.

Mamma Roma made my think I could make movies.

Not your pic, that's for sure.

Zerkalo changed me in ways I can't ever hope to explain.

First time I'd cried at all since my grandmother died two years earlier, Shimura's singing will haunt me forever

I was never introduced to film and only really discovered things outside of Hollywood when I first started going on 4chan, but I think that Der Todesking http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0098486/

And gozu

are all films that made me realize that you don't need a list actors or a big budget to make magnificent movies.
Takashi miike in particular is one of my favourite directors especially in gozu, I have never felt such suspense watching an entire movie for the whole duration. I really wish I had not fell into the crowd of kids who worshipped Tarantino however, to this day I still get shudders from defending him as the greatest director of all time.
