Personal impact - Movies which left a lasting impression on me, and made me reflect on life, and being. Movies where you feel like watching them actually changed you as a person a little.
I think favourite movie fits this more, the others are “best movie” or “guilty pleasure”/“film you watch the most”/similar
Schindler’s List had a lot of impact on me, for example, but I only ever watched it once and have zero desire to watch it again because it’s so very emotional.
I couldn’t really call it a “favourite” on that basis.
I genuinely think that ‘favourite’ is a linguistically overloaded term which means different things depending on who is asking, and the context of asking. And that’s why I find it useful to split things up a little.
