Excellent movies do this to me no matter what the subject. It's a gift that I enjoy from time to time. I watched "Born into Brothels" and then "Bukowski: Born into This"

I really need to describe the feeling more elaborately. It's much more complicated than just making me question things. It's extremely empowering, and gives me an incredible euphoria that few things in life compare to. It forces me to question how I live and what is important in life. It makes everything seem possible for a while. This is the feeling that built Hollywood.

While I LOVED "American Beauty" the first thru fifth time I saw it, I recently rented it and was disappointed. It's not a great movie for repeat viewing. Another movie that did this to me and still my favorite movie: "Lost In Translation"
