Androcles and the Lion (1952) - not for the film, but the fact that my mother, an education-first type, allowed me to stay home from grade school one afternoon to see it on our B&W TV.

There are movies you love, and movies that haunt or change you inexplicably. For me the first numbers many, the latter a handful. Chief among them are:
The Kid (1921)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
Voices are not needed to express the depths of human despair.

When I was a kid, back in the 70's, one night my cousin stayed up to watch TV since everyone else was out for the night. I snuck out of bed to see what he was watching. It was the late late show. And this movie was playing. The absolute first "classic film" I ever watched.
I found the very beginning fascinating. The lady walked to the home for employment and read the address wrong. And the real address was all the way across town. And I could just imagine having to walk so far in the heat of the day. I didn't get to see the end. In those days I couldn't make it through a whole movie. But, that image stuck with me all these years. I never got around to seeing the remake. This one is like a time capsule for me, takes me back to a much happier time.
